Comment on Automate Group Policy Preferences printer-management using Windows PowerShell by Jan Egil Ring

Jan Egil Ring — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:31:01 +0000

I couldn`t see any new features in the Group Policy module in the Developer Preview of “Windows Server 8″, but I guess we can hope for some new features in the upcoming beta. Until then I still see great value in the SDM GPAE.

Hi Ferdinand,

The Web Access feature is part of “Windows Server 8″, it won`t be available for downlevel OS`es.

Comment on Invoke Best Practices Analyzer on remote servers using PowerShell by CypherBit

Great script, thank you very much. Two questions:

- in the reports that are generated, is it possible to hide the results that are already excluded?
- for each server, role I get:
Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Tasks\BPAReports\CA-CertificateServices-13-02-12_08-48.csv’.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], DirectoryNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Tasks\BPAReports\CA-CertificateServices-13-02-12_08-48.html’.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], DirectoryNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

Why the error is it somehow related to the PowerShell culture?

Comment on Getting information about Run As Accounts for services and scheduled tasks by Anders

Wonderfull work.

Ideas/what i found missing:
An enabled-property in the output-objects.If its a scheduled task it will be true if the task is enabled. If it’s a service it’s true if the service startupmode is ‘automatic’ and else disabled (i suppose that it should be false if its manuel even if the service is running – but i suppose your script is not looking for that at all?).

Thank you again for your inspiring AND reallife usable code

With PS3 in the horizon. Would you find any good reason to not wait for it, and still choose the ‘Group Policy Automation Engine’ from SDM Software wanting to mess with GP Preferences through Powershell?
