  • Creating an Access database

    I’ve blogged a bit about using SQL Server with PowerShell, and using Word and Excel through PowerShell.  I realised that I hadn’t seen much about using Access. Access is part of the Office suite and is present on many desktops. It forms a handy data store for using with PowerShell. In this series...

  • Reminders via WPF

    If I am working on my home machine I don’t necessarily have Outlook or any other application that gives me calendaring capability open. There are times when I need a simple reminder to do something. For some reason I always seem to have PowerShell open so I thought of using the eventing system to give...

  • WMI CookBook: Associators Pt I

    WMI is a wonderful thing and like many people I have a love-hate relationship with it. It is incredibly powerful, and can take you deep into the system, but it is not easy to find your way. I have decided to spend some time digging into WMI and will document the findings in a (long) series of blog posts...

  • Scheduled Tasks

    Keeping on the theme of Scheduled Tasks I wanted to dig into the tasks that exist on my system.  I did a fresh install of Windows 7 in August and haven’t created any scheduled tasks – so what I see should be close to the system defaults.  This machine isn’t in a domain. I can load the task...

  • Extension for temporary files

    When I did the post on creating temporary files http://msmvps.com/blogs/richardsiddaway/archive/2009/11/05/creating-temporary-files.aspx I said I’d modify it so the file would be created with a given extension. 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019 020 021 022 023...

  • Getting Change Events

    I wasn’t particularly happy with the script for getting change events on the filesystemwatcher we discussed last time.  As a quick recap we ended up with this 001 002 003 004 Get-Event   -SourceIdentifier   "File System Changed"   |   where   { ( $_ . EventIdentifier...

    We saw how to watch for WMI events http://msmvps.com/blogs/richardsiddaway/archive/2009/11/07/powershell-wmi-events.aspx . In this post we will look at watching the file system. This time we will use the .NET System.IO.FileSystemWatcher object which means we use Register-ObjectEvent instead of Register...

    This isn’t the latest sport added for the 2012 Olympics but a way to dig deeper into what is happening on your machine.  There is a continuous stream of events occurring on a computer – programs stop or start, files open or close etc etc.  Some, but all, of these events are recorded in the...

  • Unblocking files

    When I download files from the Internet to Vista or Windows 7 the file is blocked and I can’t execute it until its unblocked. This is especially annoying with zip files because if I unzip them all the contents are blocked. I have been meaning to do something in PowerShell for this and finally got round...

    The other codeplex project that caught my eye was a brand new one to create a PowerShell module to manage AD replication.  This one will be very useful and one I will be using a lot.
