For the uninitiated:

Symbol

Meaning

%

shortcut for foreach object

$_

current object in the pipeline

Get-Member

Will list the fields of the object you send it

Sort-Object -Property [property name]

Will sort the objects you send in by the property name(s) which can be a comma separated list

Where-Object {$_.property -like '*string*'}

Will filter the objects. Also short cut notation: ? {$_.property -like '*string*'}

Get-Command -Module PSWindowsUpdate

Lists all the commands in the PSWindowsUpdate module

Windows

Expand all zip files into directories with zip name

   1 $list = Get-ChildItem | ? { $_.Name -like "*.zip" } | select Name
   2 foreach ($line in $list) {
   3     $parts = $line.Name.Split(".")
   4     $outDir = ".\" + $parts[0]
   5     $inFile = $line.Name
   6     mkdir $outDir
   7     Expand-Archive $inFile -DestinationPath $outDir 
   8 }

List of Listening Ports with their owning programs

   1 $listening = (Get-NetTCPConnection | ? {($_.State -eq "Listen") -and ($_.RemoteAddress -eq "0.0.0.0")})
   2 foreach ($l in $listening) {
   3     $procid = $l.OwningProcess
   4     $proc = Get-Process -PID $procid | SELECT ID,ProcessName
   5     Write-Host $($l.LocalPort) "||" $($procid) "||" $proc.ProcessName
   6 }
   7 
   8 $udp = Get-NetUDPEndpoint
   9 foreach ($u in $udp) {
  10     $procid = $u.OwningProcess
  11     $proc = Get-Process -PID $procid | SELECT ID,ProcessName
  12     Write-Host "||" $($u.LocalAddress) "||" $($u.LocalPort) "||" $($procid) "||" $proc.ProcessName "||"
  13 }

List Memory Installed

   1 Get-WmiObject win32_physicalmemory | Format-Table Manufacturer,Banklabel,Configuredclockspeed,Devicelocator,Capacity,Serialnumber -autosize

List object from Registry - namely version of .NET installed

   1 gci 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP' | sort pschildname -des | foreach-object {$_.name; $_.GetValue("Version");}

Remote commands

   1 Invoke-Command -ComputerName eve -ScriptBlock { date }

Replace a string in a file using a regular expression

So I downloaded a bunch of files from "the way back machine" site and I needed to update the hard-coded links to be relative site links. The following little script did it for me.

   1 $files = ls Level*.html
   2 foreach ($item in $files) {
   3     (Get-Content -path $item) | % { $_ -Replace '(https://web.archive.org/nebula/level)([0123456789]{2})/', 'Level$2.html' } | Set-Content $item
   4 }

   1 Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

Add User to the Active Directory as a batch

   1 New-ADUser -Name "A a" -GivenName "A" -Surname "a" -SamAccountName "ab" -Path "OU=OU_Students,DC=cs,DC=southern,DC=edu" -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "z36Hynyghg" -AsPlainText -Force) -Enabled $true

SCVMM Powershell scripts

I needed this once when I was trying to refresh the Library share. It failed on refresh with an error saying that a DVD was in use and wouldn't refresh until it was no longer in use. The following commands allowed me to identify the machines.

In general all of these need:

   1 Import-Module VirtualMachineManager

Get a list of Virtual Machines that have a DVD attached

   1 Get-SCVMMServer -ComputerName Samuel
   2 Get-SCVirtualMachine | Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive | Where-Object {$_.Connection -eq "ISOImage"} | Select Name, Connection, ISO

List VMs at the end of the semester to be deleted

   1 Get-SCVirtualMachine | Select Name, MarkedAsTemplate, Owner | Sort-Object -Property Owner, Name | Export-Csv -Path .\vms2019w.csv

Get a list of VM Mac Addresses for CPTR 427

   1 Get-SCVirtualMachine | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*427*" } | select -ExpandProperty VirtualNetworkAdapters | select MacAddress

Add DHCP Reservations to Ruth

   1 Add-DhcpServerv4Reservation -ScopeId 10.10.4.0 -IPAddress 10.10.4.10 -ClientId "00-1D-D8-C0-00-01" -ComputerName "ruth" -Description "00-1D-D8-C0-00-01"

Get a list of IP address for SCVMM

   1 Get-SCMACAddress -Assigned | Format-Table -Property `
   2 @{label="MAC address"; expression={$_.Name};                  width=18},
   3 @{label="Name";        expression={$_.Description};           width=30},
   4 @{label="IP address";  expression={$a = $_.Address -replace ":", "";
   5                                    $l = Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 10.10.4.0 -ComputerName "ruth" -ClientId $a;
   6                                    $l.IPAddress};             width=16}
   7 
   8 #Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 216.249.119.0 -ComputerName 'csdc01' -ClientId '001DD8B71C28'

List SCVMM VMs/Templates and their Ownership - Change Ownership

   1 Get-SCVMTemplate | ? { $_.Owner -eq "DOMAIN\X" } | Set-SCVMTemplate -Owner "DOMAIN\Y"
   2 Get-SCVirtualMachine | ? { $_.Owner -eq "DOMAIN\X" } | Set-SCVirtualMachine -Owner "X\Y"

List SCVMM VMs/Templates LimitCPUForMigration and Set to allow migration

Note: Setting LimitCPUForMigration = $true means that we are limiting the CPU so that it can migrate to different versions of the same CPU.

   1 Get-SCVMTemplate | ? { $_.LimitCPUForMigration -eq $false } | Set-SCVMTemplate -LimitCPUForMigration $true
   2 Get-SCVirtualMachine | ? { $_.LimitCPUForMigration -eq $false } | Set-SCVirtualMachine -LimitCPUForMigration $true

List SCVMM VMs that are not associated with the cloud and associate them

   1 $Cloud = $Cloud = Get-SCCloud -VMMServer samuel | ? {$_.Name -eq "Nimbus"}
   2 Get-SCVirtualMachine -VMMServer samuel | ? {  $_.Cloud -ne $Cloud  } | Set-SCVirtualMachine -Cloud $Cloud

Setting up a Windows 2019 Server for the first time

  1. Install the server - follow prompts.
  2. Setup the AVMA key as shown below OR use sconfig in the next step.

   1 # Install the AVMA key.
   2 slmgr /ipk TNK62-RXVTB-4P47B-2D623-4GF74
   3 
   4  1. 
   5 
   6 #First run sconfig and setup the name, timezone and network, remote management and remote desktop. You can also setup windows update from here. 
   7 
   8 # Next we need to install Windows update and get it started.
   9 # This will install nuget package too.
  10 Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate
  11 
  12 # Now start the update process
  13 #   First we'll look at what updates are there
  14 Get-WUInstall 
  15 #   Now install them
  16 Install-WindowsUpdate

See the NAT setup near the bottom! That appears to have negated the need to change firewall rules. Also, I was not able to connect to the system via Server Manager right away. But a few minutes later, I could. No changes were made. But for posterity, they are here:

   1 # To turn on or off the firewall 
   2 Get-NetFirewallProfile
   3 # to set firewall on or off
   4 Set-NetFirewallProfile -Name Domain,Public,Private -Enabled True
   5 
   6 #Te get/set the firewall rule for private networks to allow any machine on a private network.
   7 Get-NetFirewallRule | ? {$_.DisplayGroup -like "Windows Remote Management*" -and $_.Profile -like "*Private*"} | Get-NetFirewallAddressFilter #Shows the address filter
   8 Get-NetFirewallRule | ? {$_.DisplayGroup -like "Windows Remote Management*" -and $_.Profile -like "*Private*"} | Set-NetFirewallRule -RemoteAddress 192.168.1.0/24

Using Server Manager, install AD DS

Power shell to list of VM hard drives sizes

   1 $vms = Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -all
   2 foreach ($v in $vms)
   3 {
   4     $d = $v | select -ExpandProperty VirtualHardDisk
   5     Write-Output "$($v.Name), $($d.Size)"
   6 }

List the amount of memory used by virtual machines

   1 Get-SCVirtualMachine | ForEach-Object { $size += $_.Memory }

Resources:

Power Shell Scripts to create a NAT network (without DHCP) on Windows 10

   1 New-VMSwitch -SwitchName "CPTE230" -SwitchType Internal
   2 Get-VMSwitch #just for show
   3 Get-NetAdapter #get the ifIndex of your vEthernet adapter e.g. 67
   4 New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.1.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex 67 #Using the network ifIndex found above, e.g. 67
   5 New-NetNat -Name CPTE230NAT -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 192.168.1.0/24 #create the NAT 

Power Shell Script to List Network Adapters on a VM

Note: When looking at the VirtualNetworkAdapterType value, "Emulated" means that it is "legacy" network adapter and "Synthetic" means its a non-legacy adapter.

   1 Get-SCVirtualMachine | ? { $_.Name -like "*pfsense*" } | Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter

List VLANs for all CPTR 427 Virtual Machines in System Center

   1 Get-SCVirtualMachine | 
   2     ? { $_.Name -like "*427*" } | 
   3     SELECT Name,@{label="VlanID";expression={($_.VirtualNetworkAdapters).VlanID}} | 
   4     Sort-Object Name | Export-Csv -Path .\VlanData.csv

List All disconnected Adapters

   1 $vms = Get-SCVirtualMachine
   2 foreach ($vm in $vms) {
   3     $adapters = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $vm
   4     foreach ($adapter in $adapters) {
   5         if ($adapter.VMNetwork -eq $null -or $adapter.VMNetwork -eq "" ) {
   6             Write-Host $vm.Name "missing connection on'" $adapter.MACAddress "'"
   7         }
   8     }
   9 }

Revoke all MAC addresses Back to the Pool

This came up as a maintenance issue when we lost some VMs, but not the configurations

   1 $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup | where { $_.Path -eq "All Hosts\Server2016" }
   2 $MACAddressPool = Get-SCMACAddressPool -VMHostGroup $HostGroup
   3 $MACAddress = Get-SCMACAddress -MACAddressPool $MACAddressPool[0] 
   4 ForEach ($item in $MACAddress) {
   5     Revoke-SCMACAddress $item 
   6 }

Change all VMs to use Dynamic Memory and reduce memory usage

   1 $list = Get-SCVirtualMachine | ? { ($_.Name -like "*427*") -and ($_.DynamicMemoryEnabled -eq $False) }
   2 foreach ($vm in $list) {
   3     if ($vm.Status -ne "PowerOff") {Stop-SCVirtualMachine -VM $vm}
   4     Set-SCVirtualMachine -VM $vm -DynamicMemoryEnabled $True -MemoryMB 1024 -DynamicMemoryMinimumMB 1024 -DynamicMemoryMaximumMB 6144
   5 }
