	RE: Code Formatting 2 Yup, that worked. Simply manually enter the [ code ] and [ /code ] tags around your code and you should end up with a code block in your replies. :) by Poshoholic in Suggestion Box on 15 May 2011 12:17 PM

I'm going to test it in this reply by inserting some code by clicking on the Code button above this control, then inserting the code between the tags.

	RE: How to access PSobject properties within the PSObject? To add a property that references another property, you need to use Add-Member to add a member of type ScriptProperty. ScriptProperty members are evaluated when they are referenced, so they can use information in other members or methods. For exam ... by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 29 Apr 2011 08:48 AM

	RE: get-content -wait vs. tail -f You should post this question in an appropriate forum if you haven't already. This forum is only for suggestions for the Community site. by Poshoholic in Suggestion Box on 12 Apr 2011 11:23 AM
	RE: Forum Moderators I completely agree Chad, great suggestion. As you can see by me marking this as the accepted answer, it's definitely possible, so now we just need to determine who will be the forum moderators. by Poshoholic in Suggestion Box on 12 Apr 2011 11:19 AM

	RE: mousecursor disappears over grey sidebars Hi again,We just published an update to the site today with a bunch of style fixes, and this fix was included in that update so your mouse shouldn't disappear on you anymore in IE 8 (or 9).Thanks for reminding me that this needed to be fixed. by Poshoholic in Suggestion Box on 17 Feb 2011 01:50 PM
	RE: mousecursor disappears over grey sidebars Thanks for pointing out this issue. I have experienced it myself on my Windows 7 machine with IE 9 beta from time to time. I am not sure what the root cause is, but will think about this as we clean up the site. by Poshoholic in Suggestion Box on 20 Jan 2011 07:01 PM

	RE: Piping properties from Get-QADuser to Set-Qaduser The problem with your current script is that $_ doesn't have a value when you are trying to reference it. $_ only gets set inside script blocks in the pipeline like in ForEach-Object, Where-Object, or in Script Block parameters. So you need to e ... by Poshoholic in Active Directory on 07 Jan 2010 05:56 PM
	RE: Script to display folders and sub folders search & replace Something like this should do the trick: Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath $rootFolder -Filter SalesDB.sql -Recurse -Force \| Where-Object {-not $_.PSIsContainer} \| Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace 'SalesDB','ProfileDB'} by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 07 Oct 2009 08:53 PM
	RE: Why does this work? Right, System.Object[] is an array of objects. You don't always get an array just by wrapping something in brackets though. You may only get one object if there is only one object. If you want to make sure you have an array, be explicit a ... by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 29 Sep 2009 11:00 AM
	RE: Why does this work? The former retrieves all services and stores them in memory and then from that collection of services you retrieve the length (count). The latter retrieves all services and passes each one to Get-Member, one at a time. Get-Member identifies that ... by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 28 Sep 2009 09:09 PM
	RE: get-childitem vs. get-childitem * Get-ChildItem -Filter * returns a short name. Maybe that's where you saw the short name while using a wildcard? by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 06 Aug 2009 01:44 PM
	RE: get-childitem vs. get-childitem * Best educated guess: When you use a wildcard in the path parameter in Get-ChildItem, you may end up with objects (files and folders) from multiple directories. For example, if you have this structure: C:\Temp1\Folder1 C:\Temp2\Folder1 C:\ ... by Poshoholic in General PowerShell on 06 Aug 2009 01:43 PM
	RE: set-QADUser If you have all of the groups in one string (a list of semi-colon delimited DNs), you can just split it into an array like this: $myString.Split(';') So you would want to change the script I proposed to this: $list \| % {foreach ($groupDN in ... by Poshoholic in Active Directory on 29 Jul 2009 01:02 PM
	RE: set-QADUser Don't set the group membership that way. It's not supported. You need to use Add-QADGroupMember instead. For example: $list \| % {foreach ($groupDN in $_.MemberOf) {Add-QADGroupMember -Identity $groupDN -Member $_.DN}} If you want to suppress errors ... by Poshoholic in Active Directory on 26 Jul 2009 10:24 PM

If you create your variables without types, they will have whatever type they are assigned to.
