Question for the assembled: *is* there any technical difference between the
certs used for executables vs. VBA?
I have no experience with using commercial code-signing certs (my POE runs
its own PKI, and we don't market software) but the OP's question got me
curious about the Verisign offering of different certs (each at full

Ah, I was using V2 and the date is already converted using that cmdlet,
apparently. Chris posted the right answer.

You just need a custom property in the Select-Object statement:
Get-WMIObject Win32_QuickFixEngineering |
Where-Object { $_.Description } |
Select-Object HotFixID, Description, `
@{n='InstalledOn';e={
[DateTime]::FromFileTimeUTC([C onvert]::ToInt64($_.InstalledO n,
16)).ToString("MM/dd/yy") }}

Re: Root certificate not trusted when running as scheduled task

j.c.mor...@verizon.net (Joe Morris) — Sat, 20 mrt 2010 02:07:21 UT

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

l...@airmail.net (Larry__Weiss) — Fri, 19 mrt 2010 22:37:12 UT

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.

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

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

description, and the date that the HotFixes were installed. I want this

paulcha...@discussions.microsoft.com (PaulChavez) — Fri, 19 mrt 2010 20:19:02 UT

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

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
