I'm trying to write a cmdlet that accesses one of my wcf webservices. I've been looking at the new cmdlet : New-WebServiceProxy, but it only really seems capable of consuming ASMX webservices. I've seen this article; which is focussed around Powershell v1.0 I'd rather use a better method (if one exists). http://keithhill.spaces.live.co...
I'm trying to execute a cmd file on a list of 48 computers. I don't want to execute and wait for completion sequentially because each cmd takes about 10 minutes to complete. WinRM isn't an option. Neither is WMI. PSExec is an option....but I can't seem to make it work inside of Start-Job. I'm doing something like: $sb = { param...
I have lots of text output from a tool that I want to parse in Powershell 2.0. The output is nicely formatted so I can construct a regex to pull out the data I want using select-string. However getting the subsequent matches out of select-string seems long-winded. There has to be a shorter way? This works: p4 users | select-string "...

When we set breakpoints within a Module we've imported the debugger ignores the breakpoint. Has anybody else seen this behaviour? This is driving me nuts, we use PowerShell Modules extensively. The thing that's really weird is I can see the breakpoint if I run get-psbreakpoint PS H:\Projects\Powershell> get-psbreakpoint | format-list -f...
Dear PowerShell users of SO, We are using a long running PowerShell script to perform a lot of small operations that can take an extremely long amount of time. After about 30 minutes the scripts froze. We were able to get the scripts to start running again by pressing Ctrl-C which caused the scripts to resume execution instead of killin...
Hi, I have COM object with few constructors, i'm trying to create new instance and passing parameters to the constructor using powershell 2.0, but i'm getting this error: Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.

I'm trying to copy a single file using copy-item to a remote computer using powershell. It works fine if the directory already exists but fails if it doesn't.

In experimenting with scriptblocks, I was attempting to use a scriptblock parameter with an advanced function and noticed that it performs differently than when supplied to a compiled cmdlet. In reviewing this blog post from the PowerShell Team blog, it appears that the PowerShell engine should be evaluating the scriptblock if a scriptb...
