Given a folder \localhost\c$\work\ I'd like to run a powershell script every 15 minutes that ensures 5gb of free space is available. If < 5gb is available, remove the least recently used folder within work until >5gb is available. Gravy for nice output that can be redirected to a log file. Thoughts? ...

Hello everyone, I have the following XML file and I want to print out the baseAddress value, then change the value and write update to the same XML file. My problem is I am using the following scripts in PowerShell to manipulate, and seems the related value could not be retrieved. I think the reason may be there is a sign '.' in the el...

I know you can write support for custom PSDrives. But those are always a root of a file system. What would be nice if there was a way to allow for VFS start at arbitrary nodes of the file system, such as using Set-Location to enter archive file maybe and use them as if they were folders. (Kinda like Far does this). Is there any way to a...
For some of monitoring applications and for tasks that are required to be scheduled to poll some service, we traditionally use a console application that in turn calls some methods in our business layer or polls file locations/ftp locations. For another task I was carrying out I started playing about with Powershell and was pretty impr...
Hello I'm looking for a way to search for a word in a word doc and add an endnote(special type of footnote) with a definition of the word as the endnote text. This would allow me to hover over that word and then the definition would pop up like a tool tip. I know i need to use reflection, but i'm new to the whole reflection thing and al...

I am working on providers and cmdlets for Powershell 1 & 2. Which version(s) of the framework should I target for my extensions? I assume Microsoft.NET 2 will work fine. What about 3.0 and 3.5? Microsoft.NET 4.0? ...
With the .NET 4.0 beta now available, and thus the wider availability of the .NET Dynamic Language Runtime, I guess these kinds of topics are going to become "hotter". I'm confused about the conceptual differences between the DLR and PowerShell. It seems to me that if I want to provide scripting capabilities in my .NET app, I can use...

So the script needs to return a similarly formatted xml message. I have a class which does my formatting for me and it would like the script writers to use it. So quest...
I am beginning to look into the PowerShell model and snap-in development. The first thing I notice is to reference System.management.automation.dll. However in Visual Studio, the .NET tab does not that assembly, and neither am I able to browse to C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Management.Automation\1.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.M...
I wanna build a console app that may stop and prompt for some input, under some conditions. But I want to prompt only if input will be available. Is there a way to know if Stdin is connected to anything? I think powershell does this, and I'd like to do something similar. Powershell detects when it is run interactively, and prompts...
In the past I've been able to embed a sripting languate (like JScript) inside the SQLCLR, so scripts can be passed as parameters of functions, to perform certain calculations. Here is a simplistic example (the function ssScriptExecute returns a concatenation of all the print's in the script): select dbo.ssScriptExecute( 'print("Calculat...
