$newItem.Update()
Its simple Just changing the line

I wrote a script to list all vendors in the azure ad to check if they are working or not. the script find the logged in users for the past day and if there is a record it should print, if there is no record and the vendor did not logged in or work it should print no login records. but my script is not working well any one can help?
###########################Here is the code ##################
#get azure ad users
$AzADUsers = get-azureaduser
#start for loop
foreach ($user in $AzADUsers){
#list attributes
$dp = $user.DisplayName
$company = $user.CompanyName
# list of contractors/vendors who didn't log in during the day.
if ($company -eq "Vendor Resource - companyname1" -or $company -eq "Vendor Resource - companyname2" -or $company -eq "Vendor Resource - companyname3") {
#check if they logged in the past 24 hours
$SetDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1);
$SetDate = Get-Date($SetDate) -format yyyy-MM-dd
$AllSiginLogs = Get-AzureADAuditSignInLogs -Filter "createdDateTime gt $SetDate"
$LoginRecord = $AllSiginLogs | Sort-Object CreatedDateTime -Descending
if($LoginRecord.Count -gt 0){
$lastLogin = $LoginRecord[0].CreatedDateTime
}
else{
$lastLogin = 'no login record | Sick'
}
Write-Host "Last logon time : " $lastLogin $dp $company
Write-Host " "
}
}
in addition to our discussion:
Currently you loop through the $AzAdUsers and query foreach the SignInLogs. But you do not filter the SignInLogs for the specific user, you query all the time the same information and select the latest entry from that log, but it has no relation to the current user.
You have to filter the SignInLog for the specific user, e.g.:
$AllSiginLogs = Get-AzureADAuditSignInLogs -filter "Id eq '$($user.Id)' and createdDateTime gt $SetDate"
After that you could do:
$attrsht = #{
userId=$User.id
DisplayName=$user.displayname
LastSignIn=$LoginRecord.CreatedDateTime
}
new-object -typename psobject -property $attrsht
Btw. the AzModule will be replaced by the microsoft.graph modules. So it might be the right time to do the switch, which you have to do in any case until 2024.
If you do so, you can directly get the lastSignInDateTime from the user object:
#Switch to beta API
select-mgprofile -name beta
$lastSignIn = get-mguser -userId $user.id -Property signinactivity
$lastSignIn.LastSignInDateTime
In regards to you latest comment:
once again, if you want to know the last signInDateTime for a specific user you have to filter for that user id. if you filter by companyname you will probably get several users back and then you have to loop over this array of users and query the signInLog foreach user. the problem you are facing is that you miss to specify consistensylevel and countvariable, e.g.:
$company = "MyCompanyName"
$users = Get-MgUser -filter "companyname eq '$company'" -ConsistencyLevel eventual -CountVariable $null -property Id,CompanyName,DisplayName
select-mgprofile -Name beta
$lastSignInDateTime = #(
foreach ($user in $users){
$LoginRecord = get-mguser -userId $user.id -Property signinactivity
$attrsht = #{
userId=$User.id
DisplayName=$user.displayname
CompanyName=$user.CompanyName
LastSignIn=$LoginRecord.signinactivity.LastSignInDateTime
}
new-object -typename psobject -property $attrsht
}
)
You need to have the MgGraph module installed to run the above mentioned cmdlets -> install-module microsoft.graph

What im trying to do is the following:
Im getting a list of all VM`s that have some set values such as being in use and NOT having Azure Benefits turned on.
What i have is that i made a tiny script to get all machines within an subscription and select on the basis mentioned above.
What i want to do with that output is do the command Update-azureVM in bulk.
Could someone help me with this ? do i need to export the values to an excel and use that sheet to do a bulk update-AzureVM
here is the code that i have setup at the moment:
$returnObj = #()
$VMs=Get-AzVm -status
foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
$obj = New-Object psobject -Property #{
"VmSize" = $VM.HardwareProfile.VmSize;
"VmName" = $vm.Name;
"PowerState" = $vm.PowerState;
"License_Type" = $vm.LicenseType;
}
$returnObj += $obj | select VmSize, VmName, PowerState, License_Type
}
$returnObj |
Where-Object{$_.PowerState -ne "VM deallocated"} |
Where-Object{$_.License_Type -ne "Windows_Server"} |
Where-Object{$_.License_Type -ne "Windows_Client"} |
Export-Csv C:\temp\freek.csv
Thank you all in advance!
I have some PowerShell scripts that invoke SQL commands, take the results and put them into a CSV file, then the CSV file is put into an excel workbook and it's emailed out to a distribution list. I had no issues running these reports through Windows Scheduled tasks on my older Windows 2008 server running SQL 2008. But I have migrated over to Windows 2016 running SQL 2016. Now when I run this process through Scheduled tasks I get the following error:

If I run the PowerShell script manually I have no issues and everything runs fine. I'm using the same login to run the scripts manually as I do through scheduled tasks. Here is the script.

As mentioned this works when I run it in PowerShell manually, but through scheduled tasks it gets that error and it references the section I noted in the code. I've been working on this for days and I can't seem to figure out what is causing the issue. Any help or suggestions is welcomed. Thanks for taking the time.
I found the solution to this problem here

I'm attempting to change the field contents for multiple entries in a list. So far I've gotten to the point that I can edit the list, add columns really, but can't find anything on how to edit the field text. Here is what I have currently:
EDIT:
I've found a bunch of info for 2010 which isn't applicable but I've updated the code to almost get there. I'm getting 'null array' errors when I connect to the list now. I'm hopeful because I'm able to connect, but still can't get the field to change. I've updated my if statement as well to what is I believe a better format.

$items = $List.items
foreach($item in $items)
{
if($item["Export Flag"] -eq "New")

I am guessing you have trimmed the script since you are missing things like defining $context and such. You don't have any ExecuteQuery() calls.
MSDN doc on SP 2013 CSOM List Item tasks, which has C# examples of what you need and can be translated to PowerShell.
It generally looks like you have everything but if you could include your whole script I can try and run your script directly.
EDIT: with the updates here is the code that you need
#Load necessary module to connect to SPOService
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client") | Out-Null
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime") | Out-Null

$User = "user#email.com"
$Pass = "password"
$WebUrl = "https://site.sharepoint.com/"
#Connect to SharePoint Online service
Write-Host "Logging into SharePoint online service." -ForegroundColor Green
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($WebUrl)
$Context.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User, (ConvertTo-SecureString $Pass -AsPlainText -Force))
#Get the Necessary List
Write-Host "Getting the required list." -ForegroundColor Green
$List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("VacationRequestForm")
$Query = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery]::CreateAllItemsQuery(100);
$Items = $List.GetItems($Query);
$Context.Load($Items);
$Context.ExecuteQuery();
#Edit existing list items
foreach($item in $Items)
{
if($item["Export_x0020_Flag"] -eq "New")
{
Write-Host "Changing export flags to Complete for Id=$($item.Id)." -ForegroundColor Green
$item["Export_x0020_Flag"] = "Complete"
$item.Update()
$Context.ExecuteQuery();
}
}
Write-Host "Your changes have now been made." -ForegroundColor Green
You had a space in your Export Flag name and SharePoint will not have that in the name of the field. By default it will replace that with a _x0020_ string. This value will be based on the first name of the field. So if you change this field name in the future, you will still refer to it as 'Export_x0020_Flag' in this script. I am doing the .ExecuteQuery() for each update but you could do this once at the end of the loop. There is also the limit of 100 records in the query. If you only want records with "New" you should change the CamlQuery to just pull those records back.
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.
