I am sooo stuck on something this morning. The "best" way to handle command line arguments. It seems like there are several answers on what the "best" way is and as a result I am stuck on how to handle something as simple as: script.ps1 /n name /d domain AND script.ps1 /d domain /n name. Is there a plugin that can handle this better? I ...
Hi all, I am facing a curious issue. I have bash script I am running from powershell in windows that does a for loop. Every once in a while, one of the loop iteration hangs until I hit enter on the keyboard. This doesn't happen all the time, in fact, it happens pretty rarely. But it still does. The interesting thing is that my loop...
Hey guys, I'm a Powershell noob and seem to keep getting caught on little weird behaviors like this. Here is some test code: function EchoReturnTest(){ echo "afdsfadsf" return "blah" } $variable = EchoReturnTest echo ("var: " + $variable) Running this script generates this as output: "var: afdsfadsf blah" Why does the...
I am using Powershell for some ETL work, reading compressed text files in and splitting them out depending on the first three characters of each line. If I were just filtering the input file, I could pipe the filtered stream to Out-File and be done with it. But I need to redirect the output to more than one destination, and as far as I...

I'm working on some scripts to automate deployments. I use IIS7 ARR to load balance between two servers. When doing a deployment I take one of the two out of load balancing and my powershell script deploys code to that server so I can test it before making it live. It would be awesome if the script could also do the work of taking t...
I've long had a bunch of VBS automations for IIS 6, including one that gets/sets complex server bindings on several farms of paired servers, each having dozens of apps, each app having 3-12 host headers. Each app has hostname, hostname-fullyqualified, and Disaster Recovery enabled hostname, so they can be a mess to maintain manually. I...

Hi, I'm trying to use CreateProcess to launch a powershell script from within my application. I've used the Microsoft example (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682499(VS.85).aspx) to create the child process and redirect the standard out/in/err pipes. The only issue left to solve is why the child process (powershell) do not ...

What I'd really like to be able to do is something this $database.Name -match $includeRegexArray Given the way Powershell works it feels like there should be a nicer solution than writing ...
