The term '...' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Hi, I am new to PowerShell. I am running on Win7 and I have the following module installed. I constantly hit with error: The term '...' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,.... I tried google around for solutions and there is a lot of articles, but only keeps throwing more error after error. Is there anyway to verify what is missing? Can anyone point me to the right direction, any step-by-step guide? Like what needs to be installed first, or how to install guide? Or how to check what is still required? Thanks.
Using the <Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta> command remotely.
Hello all, I have an Exchange Hybrid between Office 365 and Exchange 2013 on-prem. For this to work we have the Azure AD Connect application installed on the Exchange server. It syncs every half hour and in order to force a sync, as needed in certain situations, we login to the server remotely and run the command <Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta> to force a sync. Works everytime and this makes sure that the Active Directory users attributes related to mailbox parameters are copied between the cloud and on-prem. I have tried initiating a remote Exchange Powershell session from other Exchange servers using <Import-PSSession> and <Enter-PSSession> after creating a New-PSSession. This all works but I get an error when I run the command <Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta> in both Import and Enter PSSession options. Any Ideas on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. I am new to the ocean of Powershell so I am pretty sure it is user error on my part. Thanks
Guest credentials for Windows trial VM
Hello, I have set up a virtual machine using the Windows 10 trial VM for Hyper-V (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/, preview 15.15). I would like to use Powershell Direct to run Powershell scripts on my VM. I believe I've successfully enabled PSRemoting. I enter the command "Enter-PSSession -VMName $VMname" on my host. I am then asked to enter the credentials of the guest machine. I tried searching in the installation instructions and learned that one can sign in as IEUser/Passw0rd! by default. However this doesn't seem to be a valid credential. I can't tell if there is a default credential, a credential is stored somewhere on the computer, or I need to make a credential. I would greatly appreciate your advice on the matter. Thank you.Powershell: how to use an if condition with true false
Highlighted , how is $ True is equal to false? Same way, why does typecasting 'False' to boolean is evaluating to true? What is the right way to use if condition that can receive $True or 'True or $False or 'False' $Stat = $True if($Stat -eq 'fal'){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if($Stat -eq $False){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if($Stat -eq 'False'){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} $Stat = 'True' if($Stat -eq 'False'){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if($Stat -eq 'True'){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if($Stat -eq $True){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if($Stat -eq $False){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} $Stat = $False if($Stat){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} $Stat = 'False' if($Stat){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} if([bool]$Stat){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"} $dd = [bool]$Stat if($dd){Write-Host "if executed"}else{Write-Host "else block"}

pwsh.exe Not recognized, even after adding path?
Hello, I am trying to use PowerShell to install/run Node Red. No experience with PS and very little with CMD. First issue: xxxx cannot be loaded. The file xxxx is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system..." I went to the Microsoft link provided (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170) to read about Execution_Policies I tried to change the policy for a single session using: pwsh.exe -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned To which I got the error: pwsh.exe : The term 'pwsh.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program..." Looking that up, I found that my 'Environment Variables' were not correct. Specifically, Powershell was not in my path variable. (btw, Why not? There's all types of weird stuff there, why is PS not there?) So I added it to my path. I copy/pasted the .exe location C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 It still says pwsh.exe is not recognized. Any ideas?

Send-MailMessage with Powershell and Exchange Online with MFA
I am having difficulty with one of my scripts that blocks a user from signing into Office 365 then sends an email to my manager and HR when the script has completed. I downloaded the Exchange Online Powershell Module and connected to EXOPSSession but I receive an error message that I need a secure connection to send a message. I know I created a secure connection with the old way to connect with Exchange Online but not sure how to do it when I connect to EXOPSession. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
