Services and Processes
Posted by: | July 27, 2009 | No Comment |Services and processes seem to be a constant source of topics for PowerShell. Probably because they are so fundamental to Windows. I wanted to see the relationship between a service and its underlying process. 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019 020 021 […]

Posted by: | July 24, 2009 | No Comment |We can get the tombstone period of our Active Directory by 001 002 003 $root = [ADSI]"" $ds = [ADSI]("LDAP://CN=Directory Service,CN=Windows NT,CN=Services,CN=Configuration," + $root.DistinguishedName) $ds.tombstoneLifeTime But if the value isn’t set it means we are using the default which changes depending on the version of Windows used to create the forest in the first place. If we have upgraded then […]
PowerShell 2.0 ETA
Posted by: | July 24, 2009 | No Comment |In case you wanted more info on when we can see PowerShell v2 available as a download for XP\2003\Vista\2008 – see http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2009/07/23/windows-powershell-2-0-rtm.aspx The post says a few months before we can get it.

First problem is that the network in the hotel isn’t playing the game (thats English understatement for broken). It will occassionally let him […]

Excel 2010 PowerShell I
Posted by: | July 16, 2009 | 1 Comment |This now works for a non-US locale. 001 002 003 004 $xl = New-Object -ComObject "Excel.Application" $xl.visible = $true $wb = $xl.workbooks $wb.Add() Well to be strictly correct it works in a UK locale and I’m assuming it works for other non-US locales. As previous versions of Excel threw a wobbly and we had to use an awful work around this is […]
