	RE: Freespace returning NULL If it is a WMI issue, then getting the disk space a different way is solving the wrong problem. The only other way that I can think of off the top of my head would be to psexec a Dir on the remote machine and parse that. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 21 May 2012 10:32 AM
	RE: Freespace returning NULL My suspicion would be a WMI issue. Not all manufacturers populate WMI correctly (although for this class I would expect that to be rare). Also it is possible that the WMI repository is corrupt. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 21 May 2012 10:29 AM
	RE: split with multiple parameters I would do it like this: $lastaccessDate, $lastAccessTime = ($time -replace '.$(.)$', '$1').split(' ') by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 18 May 2012 10:59 AM
	RE: split with multiple parameters $time -match '$(.)$' $matches[1] Or to do it in one line: $time = $time -replace '.$(.*)$', '$1' by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 18 May 2012 09:24 AM

	RE: Remote Event Log Parsing It looks like the email portion is outside the foreach. I didn't notice that before. Try moving the instantiation of $summary to before the loop. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 16 May 2012 10:17 AM
	RE: Remote Event Log Parsing what is your actual code right now? by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 16 May 2012 05:45 AM
	RE: Bidemensional array with ddynamic size Generally speaking, in my experience multidimensional arrays are usually easier using some other data structure. If you want to use them though, try this: $array[$a] = @() $array[$a,1]=$fil $array[$a,2]=$fil by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 16 May 2012 05:10 AM
	RE: Remote Event Log Parsing The first thing that I see is that you are not getting the events from the remote machines. Change this line: $SysEvent = Get-Eventlog -logname application -After (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) #display results from the last day to this: $SysEven ... by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 15 May 2012 10:52 AM
	RE: Scheduled Job Behaves Differently Scheduled jobs behavior issues are almost invariably a rights issue. Make sure that you are forcing the job to run with your credentials. If that does not work, I would try explicitly providing the credentials in the script. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 15 May 2012 05:50 AM
	RE: Powershell concatenate and the split method If I understand then try this: $messages \| %{'Backup alert ' + $_) by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 15 May 2012 05:31 AM
	RE: DateTime Conversion Problem Hmmm...this is odd. Here is what I get: $os = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem $os.LastBootupTime 20120504100757.610798-300 $os.ConvertToDateTime($os.LastBootUpTime) Friday, May 04, 2012 10:07:57 AM $os.ConvertToDateTime($os. ... by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 11 May 2012 10:18 AM
	RE: Error in Exchange server commands - get mailbox Well the error message is pretty clear. sounds like you need to make sure that you are going over HTTPS or the IP needs to be in your TrustedHosts list. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 11 May 2012 10:05 AM
	RE: get all child window titles For what it is worth, using that command with a Citrix Outlook open and emails from that open I get the titles for outlook and all the email windows. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 11 May 2012 09:17 AM
	RE: PowerShell script to save a file on a remote server I have to be honest that I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you are asking. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 11 May 2012 09:14 AM
	RE: Extract data from a colum in a CSV file and export to a text file. Something like this should work: Import-CSV c:\scripts\bldqrysn\test.cvs \| Select-Object Test1 \| Export-CSV C:\scripts\bldqrysn\result.csv by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 09 May 2012 01:29 PM
	RE: ruby scripts to powershell I would suggest doing what you can then posting specific questions when you have specific problems. by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 09 May 2012 10:52 AM
	RE: DataSet datatype bit export saves as boolean What is the Type of the bit when it is being held in memory after the export. So what do you get from something like: $data[0].'Bit field'.GetType() by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 08 May 2012 11:14 AM
	RE: DataSet datatype bit export saves as boolean Well, I don't know if it is the best way, but a fun way would be to use the Invoke-Ternary cmdlet (alias ?:). That with Select-Object would hopefully do it. So if you had the data in a variable called $data before the export, then something like: ... by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 08 May 2012 11:01 AM
	RE: save the results of the foreach loop in the hash for later use I'm a little confused. There is more than one log file that you are reading from? by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 08 May 2012 10:16 AM
	RE: Delete one key value within a hashtable with more than one value assigned to a key There are different methods available depending on what sort of collection it is, but this should be pretty universal: $hash['firstkey'] = $hash['firstkey'] \| ?{$_ -ne 'datatwo'} by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 08 May 2012 07:03 AM
	RE: How to delete text in parentheses, that is contained within text file? This would work to display the lines. You can do whatever you would like with them: foreach($line in Get-Content c:\path\to\file.txt){ $line -replace '$.*$', '' } by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 08 May 2012 06:16 AM

	RE: Inventory accuracy Ok, so this is untested, but it would hopefully give you something to work with: $ipList = Import-CSV 'c:\temp\ip.csv' $result = @() foreach($ip in $ipList){ If(Test-Connection $ip -count 1 -quiet){ $name = [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostBy ... by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 04 May 2012 10:40 AM
	RE: Inventory accuracy I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you are asking. you want to take a list of IPs and from that generate a list of device names? by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 04 May 2012 07:44 AM
	RE: basic syntax question: "Calculate" string values to be used later on. CalumPowell's solution is perfectly valid. Here is the piping way: $foo = 1..9 \| %{'PC000' + $_} by EBGreen in General PowerShell on 04 May 2012 07:40 AM
