Powershell Try Catch and retry? - loops

I have this script
#Change hostname
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic')
Write-Host "Change hostname " -NoNewLine
$ComputerName = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox('Insert the desired computername:', 'Change hostname')
Write-Host "- DONE" -ForegroundColor DarkGreen -BackgroundColor green -NoNewline
Write-Host " hostname = $ComputerName "
Rename-Computer -NewName $ComputerName
when the computer name gets spaces, it fails cause a hostname cant have spaces.
Can i block the form to have any spaces or does anyone knows how to get back to the inputbox when a error has been created for a re-try

do {
$ComputerName = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox('Insert the desired computername:','Change hostname')
} while ($ComputerName -match "\s")
using a do{}while() loop and checking the Input doesn't have any whitespace should resolve your issue, this will re-prompt until a valid hostname is input, if you want to check for any errors at all:
do{
$Failed = $false
Try{
$ComputerName = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox('Insert the desired computername:', 'Change hostname')
Write-Host "- DONE" -ForegroundColor DarkGreen -BackgroundColor green -NoNewline
Write-Host " hostname = $ComputerName "
Rename-Computer -NewName $ComputerName -ErrorAction Stop
} catch { $Failed = $true }
} while ($Failed)

Very satisfied with the end result, much thanks

Write-Host "Change hostname " -NoNewLine

Can't use Get-ADGroup in foreach loop

I want to use a Get-ADGroup command in nested foreach loops. But somehow the command results nothing back. The command and filters are corect, as you can see it at the very bottom after the loops, the same instruction works there perfectly, for whatever reason.
$file = "\\path"
$data = Import-Csv $file -Delimiter ";" -Encoding UTF7 |
select -First 5
Measure-Command {
foreach ($item in $data ) {
$tiefe = $($item.'Tiefe')
$pfad = $($item.'Pfad')
$recht = $($item.'Recht')
$trustee = $($item.'trustee')
$LDAPDirectoryService = 'IP-Adresss'
$DomainDN = 'o=enterprise'
$LDAPFilter = "cn=$trustee"
$null = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.DirectoryServices.Protocols')
$null = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Net')
$LDAPServer = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.LdapConnection $LDAPDirectoryService
$LDAPServer.AuthType = [System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.AuthType]::Anonymous
$LDAPServer.SessionOptions.ProtocolVersion = 3
$LDAPServer.SessionOptions.SecureSocketLayer = $false
$Scope = [System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchScope]::Subtree
$AttributeList = #('*')
$SearchRequest = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest -ArgumentList $DomainDN,$LDAPFilter,$Scope,$AttributeList
$groups = $LDAPServer.SendRequest($SearchRequest)
$groups
#Prüft ob Gruppe existiert
if ($groups.Entries.Count -eq 0) {
Write-Host " Group not found!" `n -Foregroundcolor Red $LDAPFilter
#Speichert alle nicht gefundenen Gruppen zur manuellen Nachbearbeitung
Add-Content -Path \\Path -Value "$LDAPFilter"
}
foreach ($group in $groups.Entries) {
#Listet alle Member der oben übergebenen Gruppe auf
$users = $group.Attributes['member'].GetValues('string')
foreach ($user in $users) {
Write-Host $user
#Hier den User zur AD Gruppe hinzufügen
Write-Host "user zur Gruppe hinzufügen $pfad-$recht" -ForegroundColor Red
# This little Boy doesnt work
Get-ADGroup -Properties Name, Description -Filter 'Name -like "F-KT-*"' |
where {$_.Description -like "*$pfad" -and $_.Name.EndsWith($recht)}
#Add-ADGroupMember -Identity S-1-5-21-219376080-2991882224-574971396-34759 -Members $user -Whatif
}
}
}
}
# Here the command works without a fault
Get-ADGroup -Properties Name, Description -Filter 'Name -like "F-KT-*"' |
where {$_.Description -like "*$pfad" -and $_.Name.EndsWith($recht)}
I still dont know why but I found a solution working for me.
$AD = Get-ADGroup -Properties Name, Description -Filter 'Name -like "F-KT-*"' | where {$_.Description -like "*$pfad" -and $_.Name.endswith($recht) }
write-Host $AD.Name -ForegroundColor Yellow
Maybe someone can tell me why I have to declare get-ADGroup as a variable in the Loop, but outside its working without it.

Why is my object array doubling results?

The the set of code below, everything works except 1 thing I can not figure out.
while Get-CSUserStandardsValidatedSet is processing the data, The object count array stays in tact. whether I have 1 or 100 object in the array the count is good. But when Get-CSUserStandardsValidatedSet passes the object array via return $return back to the Caller Function Invoke-MRC_CSSkypeObjects_ImportCSV. The Object count Doubles everytime.
If I pass the parameter Select -unique I actually loose records I want to process.
Any Ideas?

Powershell Script Limiting OU search for Active/Disabled users

I currently have a script that is functional with the exception of two search features. The Active user search which is limited to two OUs, and the Disabled user which is limited to a separate 2 OUs. This is all contained within a while loop that performs a search of all of AD. I am having difficulty getting these two sub-searches to work. They return the result of all of AD users no matter what. I have several different renditions in the Disabled search.
I am trying to get it to search the specific OU for user, if not present, display message saying user not found.

I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to do, but I do see a couple problems in your code.
I can't speak to the Quest cmdlets, but I can speak to Get-ADUser.
The SearchBase parameter takes a sting, but you've declared $Dous as an array:
$Dous = 'OU=Terminated,DC=childdomain,DC=domain,DC=com', 'OU=Disability Leave,OU=Production,DC=childdomain,DC=domain,DC=com'
Then passed it to Get-ADUser:
Get-ADUser -Server $ADServer -Searchbase $Dous
That's not going to work. You need to run Get-ADUser once for each OU.
You also need to set the Filter parameter, even if you just set it to * to get every user:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Server $ADServer -Searchbase 'OU=Terminated,DC=childdomain,DC=domain,DC=com'
But you may want to set Filter differently if you know the name of the account you're looking for.

Creating a Powershell menu from from config file

I have been trying to build a menu from a config file in Powershell. The purpose of the menu is to call other scripts and executables and to make maintenance easier so I can easily update the config whenever I need to add menu items.
First of all I strongly recommend you to use config files in XML format. Its REALLY much useful. I have came up with solution like this:
#Assuming this is content of your XML config file. You could easily add new Ids to insert new actions.
[xml]$Config=#"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Menu>
<Actions>
<Id>
<Choice>1</Choice>
<Script>C:\DoThis.ps1</Script>
<Description>Will do this</Description>
</Id>
<Id>
<Choice>2</Choice>
<Script>C:\DoThat.ps1</Script>
<Description>Will do that</Description>
</Id>
</Actions>
</Menu>
"#
#Here's the actual menu. You could add extra formating if you like.
$Message = ''
$Continue = $true
DO
{
cls
Write-Host 'Welcome to the menu!'
Write-Host ''
if ($Message -ne '')
{
Write-Host ''
}
foreach ($Item in #($Config.Menu.Actions.Id))
{
Write-Host ("{0}.`t{1}." -f $Item.Choice,$Item.Description)
}
Write-Host ''
Write-Host "Q.`tQuit menu."
Write-Host ''
$Message = ''
$Choice = Read-Host 'Select option'
if ($Choice -eq 'Q'){$Continue = $false} #this will release script from DO/WHILE loop.
$Selection = $Config.Menu.Actions.Id | ? {$_.Choice -eq $Choice}
if ($Selection)
{
cls
Write-Host ("Starting {0}" -f $Selection.Description)
& $Selection.Script
Write-Host ''
}
else
{
$Message = 'Unknown choice, try again'
}
if ($Continue)
{
if ($Message -ne '')
{
Write-Host $Message -BackgroundColor Black -ForegroundColor Red
}
Read-Host 'Hit any key to continue'
}
cls
}
WHILE ($Continue)
Write-Host 'Exited menu. Have a nice day.'
Write-Host ''
Output:
Welcome to the menu!
1. Will do this.
2. Will do that.
Q. Quit menu.
Select option:

Upload file from my local system on Sharepoint

Please help me with the complete batch file code:
I want to upload file(.xls,csv) onto Sharepoint server using batch file. It should perform:
a> Do a check to see in the sharepoint location if the file exist. If exist then do nothing.
b> If the file do not exist, then
1.check the local if the file is present in this location or not. If yes then simply upload it n sharepoint.
2.Step a. again
This batch file will be triggered by windows schedular every 20 mins.
My goal is to upload the files the moment they get generated.
Request you to please help me with the correct code logic which I can implement.
Thankyou for the help n support!
