This topic explains how to use the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell to create a managed service account. Managed service accounts are used to run various services for applications that are operating in your domain environment. The following example demonstrates how to create a service account, SQL-SRV1, in the container Managed Service Accounts in the Fabrikam.com domain:

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.

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.

Scripting Series – Interesting things you can do with VBScript and Powershell – Post 1, Self Deletion « .\Matthew Long
Posted by Matthew on February 25, 2011 For the first challange i’m going to tackle in this series , we have the problem of self deletion. After quite a bit of experimentation, i found a powershell script cannot delete itself without help from some outside source. Having the script setup a scheduled task on a timer to delete itself is one option, and Scheduled tasks in powershell is certainly well documented on the internet. However, as i already wanted a simple way of students cleaning up their own machines (and telling someone who has never used powershell to run as an admin, set execution policy etc etc isn’t fun) i instead decided to go with a VBScript.This morning PowerWF and PowerSE 2.7 were released to the web and they can now be downloaded from http://www.powerwf.com . These releases offer a lot of new value to PowerWF and PowerSE users, as follows: PowerWF 2.7 Highlights New Start Page with New Workflows The start page in PowerWF has been completely redesigned to provide immediate value out of the box for PowerWF customers. The new design highlights the Workflow Library that is included with PowerWF, allowing customers to play workflows in the library without opening a workflow or script document.

When you write a function, you can name a set of parameters and PowerShell will bind command line arguments to them. Any command line argument that is NOT bound do a parameter is available as $args. Let me illustrate: PS>function test ($a) {"Remaing args = $args"} PS>test -A value Remaing args = PS> PS>test -A value -B value2 -C this is a test Remaing args = -B value2 -C this is a test PS> PS>function test ($a,$b,$c) {"Remaing args = $args"} PS>test -A value -B value2 -C this is a test Remaing args = is a test Eric asked me the question, "How can I get ALL the arguments and not just the "remaining arguments".
