Alter IIS 6 Home Directory permissions via PowerShell - iis

Does anyone know how can i alter the marked properties via powershell?
Just the class and property is enough :)
Thank you!

Note: I did NOT write this blog, but it appears to answer the question:
<# This function will set the home directory of an IIS 6 website using Powershell 2 (it will not work with v1).
You need to pass it the site description (from the Web Site tab in IIS), the new path and the server your website is running on (this can be a machine name or an IP address).
You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to get this working.

Query ObjectId of ConditionalAccessLocationCondition

I am writing a script to write to Azure, I basically want to find a user, create a network location, create a conditional access policy. This is what I have so far. The trouble is that the $secmon_guid and $location_policy_guid do not work. If I manually put the values in, it works.
# Run these commands first to connect and install without the #
Install-Module -Name AzureAD -AllowClobber -Force # Answer Y to install NuGet. Run once on workstation running script.

Connect-MsolService #Reauthenticate if necessary.
Get-AzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy #This will list out all of the existing CA policies. This is a good opportunity to get them into documentation.

$controls.BuiltInControls = "block"
#End work
New-AzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy `
-DisplayName $name `
-State $state `
-Conditions $conditions `
-GrantControls $controls
The error I get is due to poorly formatted GUID's, the values I am pulling are not correct. How can I fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
New-AzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy : Error occurred while executing NewAzureADMSConditionalAccessPolicy
Code: BadRequest
Message: 1054: Invalid location value: #{Id=1234GUID}.
InnerError:

Where you define the variables, you need to use -ExpandProperty on the select-object statement e.g:
$secmon_guid = Get-MsolUser -SearchString "secmon" | Select -ExpandProperty ObjectID
Otherwise, you would have to access your current variable like so:
$conditions.Users.IncludeUsers = $secmon_guid.ObjectID

How to export the Certificate details related to the particular IIS site using Powershell script

I wrote a script where in it will export all the SSL certificate details from my machine to an Excel sheet, but I need to export the Certificates which are mapped to the particular site in IIS and then I need to export those details with Site name and the Certificate details to an Excel sheet.
Code
#Clearing the Console host in PS
Clear-Host
#Installing the Excel module to the Powershell
Install-Module -Name ImportExcel
#List of Servers
$computers = Get-Content "C:\TEMP\servers.txt"
#Number of days to look for expiring certificates
$threshold = 300
#Set deadline date
$deadline = (Get-Date).AddDays($threshold)
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computers {
Get-ChildItem -Path 'Cert:\LocalMachine\My' -Recurse |
Select-Object -Property #{n='ServerName';e={$env:COMPUTERNAME}},Issuer, Subject, NotAfter,
##{Label = 'ServerName';Expression = {$env:COMPUTERNAME}}
#{Label='Expires In (Days)';Expression = {(New-TimeSpan -Start (Get-Date) -End $PSitem.NotAfter).Days}}
} | Export-Excel -Path C:\users\$env:username\documents\MultipleServer_Certificate_Expiry_Details.xlsx`
This is a very common thing, with many articles and samples all over the web on this IIS use case. This is what the web administration module is used for.
<#
Get all IIS bindings and SSL certificates
On a local or remote IIS PowerShell Session
#>
Import-Module -Name WebAdministration
Get-ChildItem -Path IIS:SSLBindings |
ForEach-Object -Process {
if ($_.Sites)
{
$certificate = Get-ChildItem -Path CERT:LocalMachine/My |
Where-Object -Property Thumbprint -EQ -Value $_.Thumbprint
[PsCustomObject]#{
Sites = $_.Sites.Value
CertificateFriendlyName = $certificate.FriendlyName
CertificateDnsNameList = $certificate.DnsNameList
CertificateNotAfter = $certificate.NotAfter
CertificateIssuer = $certificate.Issuer
}
}
}
Customize the above to fit your output needs.
Note if you happen to be on a legacy version of PowerShell:
[PsCustomObject]#{} will not work in PS 2.0 but you may replace it by New-Object -TypeName PSObject
Update
You've asked for a sample script to run on multiple servers. However, you already have the code in your post. Just put that Invoke-Command inside a ForEach loop and pass in a list of computers.
$Computers |
ForEach {
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $PSItem -ScriptBlock {
Get-ChildItem -Path 'Cert:\LocalMachine\My' -Recurse |
Select-Object -Property #{n='ServerName';e={$env:COMPUTERNAME}},Issuer, Subject, NotAfter,
#{Label='Expires In (Days)';Expression = {(New-TimeSpan -Start (Get-Date) -End $PSitem.NotAfter).Days}}
} | Export-Excel -Path "C:\users\$env:username\documents\MultipleServer_Certificate_Expiry_Details.xlsx"
}
Of course, you'll need to add in that sample for the Web Admin block to your cert data points

Write-SqlTableData to import CSV into a Azure SQL Server table

The below command creates a new table, test for me but it doesn't insert any data into it.
Write-SqlTableData -TableName test -ServerInstance myservername -DatabaseName mydb -SchemaName dbo -Credential $mycreds -InputData $data -Force
This is the error message I get:
Write-SqlTableData : Cannot access destination table '[Mydb].[dbo].
[test]'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Write-SqlTableData -TableName test -ServerInstance myinstance
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: ([dbo].[test]:Table) [Write-SqlTableData], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WriteToTableFailure,Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PowerShell.WriteSqlTableData
Any ideas are appreciated.
UPDATE
This is the code to populate data.
$data = import-csv 'C:\Users\azure-user\myfile.csv'
This is what the file looks like -
"State","ProviderNbr","Entity","Address","City","Zip","Phone","Ownership","StarRating"
"AL","017000","ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HOME CARE","201 MONROE STREET, SUITE 1200", "ALABAMA", "32423", "3233233233", "Alabama", "4"
This is a weird one - as you say, in Azure Read-SqlTableData works but Write-SqlTableData doesn't. From the discussion on MSDN here I think its something to do with the Azure environment making it hard for the cmdlet to interpret the 'ServerInstance' parameter.
Example 5 in Microsoft's Write-SqlTableData documentation "Write data to an existing table of an Azure SQL Database" shows the way forwards - we need to instantiate an SMO reference to the Table and feed that to the cmdlet instead. Unfortunately the example Microsoft gives contains a small error (you can't do $table = $db.Tables["MyTable1"] to get the table, it doesn't work)
Here's a modified version of that example:
$csvPath = "C:\Temp\mycsv.csv"
$csvDelimiter = ","
# Set your connection string to Azure SQL DB.
$connString = 'Data Source=server;Persist Security Info=True'
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Enter your SQL Auth credentials"
$cred.Password.MakeReadOnly()
$sqlcred = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCredential -ArgumentList $cred.UserName,$cred.Password
# Create a SqlConnection and finally get access to the SMO Server object.
$sqlcc = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection -ArgumentList $connString,$sqlcred
$sc = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection -ArgumentList $sqlcc
$srv = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $sc
# Get access to table 'MyTable1' on database 'MyDB'.
# Note: both objects are assumed to exists already.
$db = $srv.Databases["MyDB"]
$tableSmo = $db.Tables | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "MyTable1"}
# leading comma makes an array with one item
# this makes PowerShell pass the entire contents of the file directly to the Write-SqlTableData cmdlet, which in turn can do a bulk-insert
, (Import-Csv -Path $pcsvPath -Delimiter $csvDelimiter) | Write-SqlTableData -InputObject $tableSmo
$sc.Disconnect()
If you're doing integrated security you can miss off all the $cred and $sqlcred stuff and just create the SqlConnection using $sqlcc = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection -ArgumentList $connString
Note: This worked for me with "A SQL Server running on a VM in Azure", in that I was having the same error as you, 'cannot access destination table' and this approach fixed it. I haven't tested it with an "Azure SQL Database" i.e. SQL Server as a service. But from the microsoft documentation it sounds like this should work.
According to my test, we can not use the command Write-SqlTableData to import CSV file to Azure SQL and we just can use it to import CSV file to on-premise SQL
So if you want to import CSV file to Azure SQL with powershell, you can use the command Invoke-SQLCmdto insert record on by one. For example:
$Database = ''
$Server = '.database.windows.net'
$UserName = ''
$Password = ''
$CSVFileName = ''
$text = "CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Colors2](
[id] [int] NULL,
[value] [nvarchar](30) NULL
) "
Invoke-SQLCmd -ServerInstance $Server -Database $Database -Username $UserName -Password $Password -Query $text
$CSVImport = Import-CSV -Path $CSVFileName
ForEach ($CSVLine in $CSVImport){
$Id =[int] $CSVLine.Id
$Vaule=$CSVLine.value
$SQLInsert = "INSERT INTO [dbo].[Colors2] (id, value)
VALUES('$Id', '$Vaule');"
Invoke-SQLCmd -ServerInstance $Server -Database $Database -Username $UserName -Password $Password -Query $SQLInsert
}
Invoke-SQLCmd -ServerInstance $Server -Database $Database -Username $UserName -Password $Password -Query "select * from [dbo].[Colors2]"
Besides, you also can use other ways ( such as BULK INSERT ) to implement it. For further information, please refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/import-export/import-data-from-excel-to-sql?view=azuresqldb-current.

Active Directory Powershell - forest-wide search script using .csv list of users

I am looking for a bit of help, hope nobody will bash me for being an ignorant.
Not that long ago I became something of an AD admin, organisation is big so the tasks vary. I can easily complete what I require via Powershell or snap-ins in most cases.
However I have a task on my hands that exceed my "creativity". I have a list of over 10 000 users in .csv which I need to look up in on-premises AD if they exist. My two problems are:
-I am very new to scripting and getting increasingly frustrated that I can't comprehend it and make my scripts work as I need them to
-Deadline for this task and other responsibilities give me little time to read more on scripting basics and learn. As such I am in most cases forced to look for script snippets on the web and modify them a bit to meet my needs. This worked up until now as the script I have on my hands is a bit too complex for me.
Biggest problem I was facing so far is creating a forest-wide search. My organization have a single root domain and 4 child domains. When running a simple foreach loop a like the one below:
ForEach ($User in (Import-Csv c:\users\public\users.csv))
{ If (Get-ADUser $User.mail -server GLOBALCATALOGADDRESS:xxxx)
{ Write-Host "User found: $($User.mail)"
}
Else
{ Write-Host "User not found: $($User.mail)"
}
}
It searches only domain to which my computer is connected.
So I managed to find and modify a forest-wide search script and came up with following:
#Get Domain List
$objForest = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()
$DomainList = #($objForest.Domains | Select-Object Name)
$Domains = $DomainList | foreach {$_.Name}
$User = Import-CSV c:\users\public\users.csv
#Act on each domain
foreach($Domain in ($Domains))
{
Write-Host "Checking $Domain" -fore red
$ADsPath = [ADSI]"LDAP://$Domain"
$objSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($ADsPath)
#The filter
Foreach($mail in($User))
{
$objSearcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=user)(mail=$User.mail))"
$objSearcher.SearchScope = "Subtree"
$colResults = $objSearcher.FindAll()
foreach ($objResult in $colResults)
{
$objArray = $objResult.GetDirectoryEntry()
write-host $objArray.mail
}
}
}
The script seems to be good in its original form (found here: http://powershell.nicoh.me/powershell-1/active-directory/forest-wide-object-searches) and searches well with wildcard and single parameter as filter.
However I have no idea what am I missing to make it search for every email address I have in .csv and to make it return information whether or not user with such mail was found.
Script itself runs but given the time it takes and blank output it feels like it searches for only one user. I am 100% sure that at least one user from the list exists in on-prem AD.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks for your attention.
[EDIT]
Final script:
#Get Domain List and load user e-mails from file
$objForest = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()
$DomainList = #($objForest.Domains | Select-Object Name)
$Domains = $DomainList | foreach {$_.Name}
$Users = Import-CSV c:\users\public\users.csv
#Act on each domain
foreach($Domain in ($Domains))
{
Write-Host "Checking $Domain" -fore red
Foreach($mail in ($Users.mail))
{
Get-ADUser -filter {mail -eq $mail} -Server $domain -properties mail | select mail
}
}
Do yourself a favour and download AD Powershell module: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rkramesh/archive/2012/01/17/how-to-add-active-directory-module-in-powershell-in-windows-7.aspx
You will then be able to simplify your code and run things like this, making your task much clearer:
...
foreach($Domain in ($Domains))
{
Write-Host "Checking $Domain" -fore red
Foreach($mail in ($User.mail))
{
Get-ADUser -filter {mail -eq $mail} -Server $domain -Properties mail |
select-object -ExpandProperty mail
}
}
...

Use -LDAPfilter & point the -Server to GC.
Get-ADUser -Server DC01.Contoso.com:3268
-Ldapfilter "(ObjectClass=user)(mailnickname=David)"
The above command will search the GC DC01.contoso.com for all the users that their Alias/mailnickname is David.
Is is enough to contact the Domain itself instead of a DC of the domain. Thus this shoud also work
get-aduser -Filter {mailnickname -eq "David") -Server contoso.com:3268

Error : Sharepoint List access through Power Shell

Im getting "Cannot index into a null array" at line with "$spWeb.List"
Im using Windows7 home premium and Sharepoint Foundation 2010
I tried to add the user to shell Add-SPShellAdmin -username -database .. failing informing
error is that the account name was already added to the database as a login using a different user name than the account
Please suggest!.

$newItem.Update()
Its simple Just changing the line
$spList = $spWeb.List["products"]
to
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["products"] works out!
