PowerShell Task:

• Import CSV
• Read import-csv line by line
• Match Non AD group To a users folder
• Create an HTML page from powershell
• Create a hyper link in each folder from  PowerShell
• base membership from a non AD source.

The task was to use a CSV file from an outside source that would create an HTML page with its HTML link based on the content of import-csv file.
The group member ships in the CSV file did not come from  AD but based on a directory structure

$NICs = Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration |
 where{$_.IPEnabled -eq "TRUE"}
Foreach($NIC in $NICs) {
#change in quotes to yor ip address
#set static IP and Subnet
$NIC.EnableStatic("192.xxx.xxx.xxx", "255.255.255.0")
#set gateway
$NIC.SetGateways("192.XX.XX.XX")
#set DNS Servers
$DNSServers = "192.XX.XX.XX","192.XX.XX.XX"
$NIC.SetDNSServerSearchOrder($DNSServers)
$NIC.SetDynamicDNSRegistration("FALSE")
}

The above script can be handy when you need to set a number
of server IP addresses.
Example:
When a company decides to change entire address scheme
is implemented.

Powershell script to remove text from each file in a directory.
*In Linux-Unix SED works very well for this.

POWERSHELL “Sed like”

Using variables to recurse a directory cheating using set-content to work like
regular expression

#remove a character from all files in a directory -=
 #REMOVE
#var old is text to remove
 $old = ','
#var $new = the text you want to replace ( I am replacing text with
#      a blank space)
$new = ''
#change the Get-ChildItem to a folder or your choice
Get-ChildItem C:\scripts\files\ -Recurse | Where {$_ -IS [IO.FileInfo]} |

% {

(Get-Content $_.FullName) -replace $old,$new | Set-Content $_.FullName
 Write-Host "----- WORKING   ----------"
 Write-Host "Processed: " + $_.FullName

}
 #REMOVE DONE

I love notepad++ but hate the default white background.  This little install makes NotePad++ have a nice dark background with full syntax highlighting possible with powershell.

1. Delete DeepBlack theme: (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes\)

2. Download powershell updated DeepBlack Theme (Attached File: Deep Black theme with Powershell, sorted. ): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3389453&group_id=95717&atid=612384

3. Add the downloaded XML to  (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes\)

(add to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes

*OLDER VERSION2. Download: http://poshcode.org/notepad++lexer/

Once downloaded,  unpack the zip and put all the files / folders into the Notepad++ Plugins folder

(add to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins)
