A little help please with Get-AzADObject
I am trying to write a PowerShell script that will list the users who hold specified Azure roles into a .csv file for security reviews. I'm new to PowerShell and I'm struggling with this for far too long on my own. Here's what I've got: I keep getting the error: Get-AzADObject: The term 'Get-AzADObject' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. I've already used: Get-Module AzureAD Install-Module AzureAD Import-Module AzureAD With no errors on any of those. What am I missing, please?
powershell on mac
Hello Everyone, I’m new to using PowerShell on a Mac. I was given a PS1 script that needs to be run on a Mac device to check the files and folders of logged-in users. I managed to achieve this to some extent, but now I’m stuck on granting full disk access to the PWSH app via a Jamf Pro privacy payload. Since the PWSH app is not a signed package, I was unable to identify the “code requirements” to add a payload in Jamf Pro. Could you please share your best practices for deploying PowerShell and granting it full disk access via Jamf Pro?
Cannot dot-source this command because it was defined in a different language mode.
Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1: Cannot dot-source this command because it was defined in a different language mode. To invoke this command without importing its contents, omit the '.' operator. I am getting this error when I open my PowerShell anywhere... I have few scripts present in my PS Profile, but this is failing with error, and I can't import, its blocking me to even set a property. $Host.Name = 'Test' InvalidOperation: Cannot set property. Property setting is supported only on core types in this language mode. Can someone please help me to get rid of this issue. Thanks!
PowerShell support on Linux
I am trying to invoke Powershell 7.4 on Linux RHEL8 through a java program and submitting commands and reading output using streams. As soon as the powershell starts , the inputstream is reading some unknown characters from the powershell output for e.g. '[?1h' and '[?1l'. I need a way such that I don't read these characters. I tried setting the encoding in the input stream to UTF-8, but that didn't solve the problem. Would really appreciate if someone could provide some inputs on this.Regarding the different output formats of Powershell Versions 5 and 7.
I use Exchange Online commands through Powershell. I have noticed that Powershell versions 5 and 7 work differently. And I would like to achieve an output format like Powershell version 5, but without using the "｜Format-table" notation. Is it possible to rewrite the default values? Thank you. Powershell version information in use: PowerShell 5: 5.1.22000.653 and PowerShell 7: 7.2.5PowerShell Colors for Operator & Parameter
Hi all I have some weird behavior here. When I work with PowerShell 7 over the Windows Console Host, the Operator and Parameter color are completely black, and I can't see them when I type an Operator or Parameter. When I work with PS7 over the Windows Terminal, the Operator and Parameter are visible. Both windows have the same background color (0c0c0c) and I copied the value from the Windows Console Host PS7, to make sure it has the same value as the window from the Windows Terminal PS7. Has anyone a fix/explanation for this? Thanks. 🙂
Huge memory consumption using ForEach-Object -Parallel
I’ve a function that updates the stats in databases using ForEach-Object -Parallel. When I run it, to loop through the stats in a database and update them, it consumes a lot of memory on the server where I run the command from. In some cases 60/70Gb. Why is it doing that? Is there a way I can have the function release the memory used for each stat it updates? Function Update-Stats { <# $Database = '' $SqlInstance = '' Update-Stats -SqlInstance $SqlInstance -Database $Database #> [cmdletbinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$SqlInstance , [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$Database ) BEGIN { $FlagOn = "DBCC TRACEON (7471, -1) WITH NO_INFOMSGS" $FlagOff = "DBCC TRACEOFF (7471, -1) WITH NO_INFOMSGS" $Satslist = @() $Srv = Get-SqlInstance -ServerInstance $SqlInstance $Srv | Get-SqlDatabase -Name $Database | %{ $Db = $_ "Processing $($Db.Name)" $Db.Tables | ?{$_.RowCount -gt 10} | % { $Table = $_ $Table.Statistics | %{ $Satslist += [PSCUstomObject]@{ SqlInstance = $SqlInstance Database = $Database Schema = $Table.Schema Table = $Table.Name RowCount = $Table.RowCount Stats = $_.Name } } } } $Satslist } PROCESS { if($Srv.VersionMajor -ge 14 ) { Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SqlInstance -Database $Database -Query "$FlagOn" $Tflag = $true } $Satslist | Sort-Object {Get-Random} | % -parallel { $Obj = $_ $Table = "[$($Obj.Schema)].[$($Obj.Table)]" $Stats = "[$($Obj.Stats)]" switch($($Obj.RowCount)){ {$_ -le 1000000} {$Percent = 20 ; break} {$_ -In 1000001..10000000} {$Percent = 15 ; break} {$_ -In 10000001..100000000} {$Percent = 10 ; break} {$_ -ge 100000001} {$Percent = 5 ; break} } "Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $($Obj.SqlInstance) -Database $($Obj.Database) -Query `"Update Statistics $Table $Stats with Sample $Percent Percent`"" Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $($Obj.SqlInstance) -Database $($Obj.Database) -Query "Update Statistics $Table $Stats with Sample $Percent Percent" } -ThrottleLimit 12 if($Tflag) { Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SqlInstance -Database $Database -Query "$FlagOff" } } END { } }
