• • Get-ADMapObject
  • by Steven Murawski
  • 18 hours ago

  • Map Active Directory objects using the Show-NetMap script from Doug Finke. Running the script creates three functions Get-ADMapObject (which takes a string or array of strings of the AD object classes), Get-ADObjectClassName (recurses through your Active Directory and returns the names of the object classes), and New-SourceTarget (to get the ADMapObjects into the format that Show-Netmap wants).
    Before the script runs, it will check for the dependencies (Doug’s script and the NetMap dll’s) and advise you if there are any missing.

• • Start-Demo 3.3.3

  • 19 hours ago

  • This is an overhaul of Jeffrey Snover’s original Start-Demo script … I’ve switched it to use ReadKey, which saves you some typing and makes the whole thing seem more natural when you’re demoing, (at least to me). I’ve also added a bunch of command-line options and a couple of features in the process (see the Revision History in the script).

  • The Get-Command cmdlet reveals all that you need to know about PowerShell.

    By Jeffery Hicks

    A terrific PowerShell feature is its ability to reveal its capabilities to you through help files and cmdlets like Get-Member. There is another cmdlet you’ll want to explore that can also reveal a lot about PowerShell, called Get-Command. If you run Get-Command at a PowerShell prompt, by default it will display all of the cmdlets available in your current PowerShell session.

    But Get-Command can do much more. It can also display other “executables” like applications and scripts. Try this in your PowerShell session:

    PS C:\> Get-command -commandtype application

    The command might run for a while, but it will display all non-PowerShell programs including .exe, .dll and .txt files that are in your environment path.

    Want to see all the functions currently defined? You can use Get-Command:

    PS C:\> Get-command -commandtype function

    The other command type you might be interested in is “externalscript”:

    PS C:\> Get-command -commandtype externalscript

    This will list all PowerShell scripts that exist in any directory in your path. But wait…there’s more.

    You should be familiar with the cmdlets Verb-Noun naming convention. Curious about all the cmdlets that start with the verb “Get”?

    PS C:\> get-command -verb get

    Or perhaps you want to see all the cmdlets related to processes:

    PS C:\> get-command -noun process

    Here’s a nifty trick to get a list of all the verbs and nouns. Try these commands to see for yourself:

    PS C:\> get-command | select verb -unique

    PS C:\> get-command | select noun -unique

    You should get a list of verbs and a list of nouns.

    Finally, try a command like this:

    PS C:\> get-command get-process | select *

    You should get all the information about Get-Process that Get-Command can tell you. One of the properties you’ll notice is PSSnapin. You can use Get-Command to discover what cmdlets belong to a particular snapin. One way you can accomplish this is to use the -pssnapin parameter:

    PS C:\> get-command -pssnapin Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility

    Or use Get-Command to build a report for all your snapins:

    PS C:\> get-command | sort pssnapin | format-table -groupby pssnapin Name

    So the next time you’re trying to figure out what cmdlets you have or what they can do, take command with Get-Command.

  • I got this script originally from Jim Truher and have tweaked it a bit over time (nothing major). Basically it replaces your CD function with one that keeps a history.

• • elevate-process (sudo)

  • As a former UNIX guy, I love the non-admin stuff in Vista, but got annoyed keeping two shells open (one admin and one non-admin). I wanted sudo! PowerShell made that easy. Just put this in your $profile script. Enjoy!
