i'd get back either c: \ myscripts or c: \ myscripts \ thescript.ps1 i found this $ myinvocation .mycommand.path but that returns the current location (in this case, c: \ ) as does $(pwd).path any other suggestions? Thanks Justin $ myinvocation .invocationname Does anyone know whether its possible mark a post as a "sticky"? It would be really nice to start a FAQ. Justin the MyInvocation variable is what you want. The state of this variable depends on the context in whether you are at script of function scope. function test { echo "Entering function Test" echo "`$ MyInvocation .InvocationName is $($ MyInvocation .InvocationName)" echo "`$ MyInvocation .MyCommand.name is $($ MyInvocation .MyCommand.name)" echo "`$ MyInvocation .ScriptName is $($ MyInvocation .ScriptName)" echo "`$ MyInvocation .MyCommand.path is $($ MyInvocation .MyCommand.path)" echo "`$pwd.path execute that code.

Creating a Managed Service Account
In June of 2009, I published the first version of Getting the Contents of an Active Directory Integrated DNS Zone . Shortly after that, Chris Dent (chris at highorbit dot co dot uk) published a blog post clarifying the format of the dnsRecord attribute. Most of the time, the difference between the "correct" format and what I had deduced had no effect.

BulkServers1.ps1 – This script reads in a text file, containing 1 server per line. It simply then writes the server names back to the console BulkServers2.ps1 – This script extends the first script and simply gets the hostname, operating system and service pack level for each server listed in the input file. BulkServers3.ps1 – This script gets a little bit more complex and in fact is rather exciting.

Hello Again Well I’ve delivered my session “Windows, PowerShell and WMI: Unveiling Microsoft’s Best Kept Secret”, and as promised here are the scripts for the Demo’s I used during my session: The following lines of code show help on how to use the Get-WMIObject cmdlet in PowerShell, how to list all classes in the cimv2 namespace and finally how to use some basic parameters. These lines of code show how to get disk information from a system, identify all the properties and methods of the disk objects that can be used, then uses some properties.

PowerShell is a vast product, especially when you take into account how it's used in other products such as Lync Server, Exchange, and the Windows Operating System. It can be a little daunting to those new with PowerShell - there is a vast array of deeply technical discussions of all of PowerShell's many aspects, quirks and peculiarities and all. So start at the beginning, and learn the basics, either on you own, or possibly with the aid of a great training class. Then work with it and return to find more. And when you can, how about adding to the body of knowledge referenced here.

Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML) is a XML based markup language used by "Longhorn" Help. The current help system HTMLHelp 1.x is using HTML topic files. HTML is a markup language that combines presentational and semantic elements.The most significant aspect of MAML is the shift to a structured authoring model. Documents and their constituent elements are defined semantically, placing the focus on content rather than formatting.

Scripting with Windows PowerShell
In this session, Microsoft Scripting Guy Ed Wilson discusses a number of compelling reasons for learning Windows PowerShell scripting. These reasons include: It is powerful and provides the ability to collect and consolidate information from multiple remote systems into a centralized view of the data. It is safer than many other tools and offers the ability to prototype a command prior to the command execution. There is a confirmation mode that lets a network administrator or other IT professional selectively step through a group of commands to pick commands to execute or ignore.DFS-R Health Report for SYSVOL « blog.powershell.no
Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) was introduced as a replacement for File Replication Service (FRS) in Windows Server 2008, and was further enhanced in Windows Server 2008 R2. When your domain functional level are set to Windows Server 2008, you have the option to migrate SYSVOL-replication from the deprecated FRS to the new and more reliable DFS-R service. A major advantage of using DFS-R over FRS is that FRS copies the whole file when a change are made, while DFS-R only copies the changed bits. This and further details are discussed here . I`ve also included some links in the resource section below on how to perform an FRS to DFS-R migration.MSDN
