Re: Root certificate not trusted when running as scheduled task

Perhaps I should have asked the question differently. Was the code-signing
certificate you used issued by the root certificate server, or was it issued
by a second-tier CA? More to the point, are the public keys associated with
the cert chain leading to the code-signing certificate the same as are used

Re: Write-host in a function, no newline

You need to use spaces instead of commas as the argument separator
SQLquery('a' 'b' 'c')
It's something yo just have to get used to.
With commas you were sending the function a single argument whose value was an
array containing three strings.

Re: Write-host in a function, no newline

My mistake.
SQLquery('a','b','c') needs to be SQLquery 'a' 'b' 'c'
no parentheses, no comma

I'm trying to create a very basic function
function SQLquery ([string]$SQLserver,[string]$S QLCatalog,[string]
$SQLQuery)
{
write-host -fore yellow $SQLserver;
write-host -fore red $SQLCatalog;
write-host -fore cyan $SQLQuery;
write-host "test"
write-host "test2"

Hello, all. I'm new to Powershell scripting, but have used VBScript for
years. I've found that there is no way in VBScript to do the following
and am hoping someone can help with a PowerShell script for the
following:
I need to be able to document all of the HotFixIDs, their
description, and the date that the HotFixes were installed. I want this

As far as i know there is no way to provide parameters to a script you're
running directly from the editor window using F5 or Debug->Run.
You can run the script from the interactive command window built into the
ISE, and if you've set a breakpoint in the editor it will stop at the
breakpoint even if you didn't explicitly run it from the menu.

Re: adding smtp address for all users containing the employeeID field

2010-03-19T20:00:46Z

Something like this should work. It's a bit silly, but it's easier to
add e-mail addresses using ADSI unless I'm missing something glaringly
obvious about Set-Mailbox.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {employeeID -eq "<number>"} | %{
$User = Get-User $_
$NewSmtp = "{...@somedomain.com" -f $User.employeeID

We used WSUS to deploy these. WSUS automatically takes all the necessary
steps. You would also be able to control all other updates centrally.

If you have ISE open the bottom pane is usually an interactive pane that you
can use to do stuff interactively

Re: Root certificate not trusted when running as scheduled task

Joe, thanks for replying.
The CA is our enterprise certificate server. All machines in the enterprise
have it as a Trusted CA. The CA issued the code signing cert.
Yes, although I have to admit I was surprised by this.
The code signing cert is stored in the "Trusted Publisher's" store.
When I first ran the script from the command line, PowerShell asked me: "Do

Powershell ISE

2010-03-19T17:37:24Z

Hi all,
I decided to give the Powershell ISE a try (I'm currently a Powershell
GUI Scipt Editor user). The first thing I tried to do, I could not. The
first line in my script is a "param" statement. How can I enter the
appropriate "params" to ISE so my script will see them?
Thanks

With these many machines, do you have an existing tool for automating
deployments?
Are these connected to AD? Maybe a logon script would kick off this
check/installation...
