  • 1. Server 2008 / $user.SetInfo() error
    I am trying to run the simplest of Powershell scripts in Windows Server 2008. I an trying to change the FullName property of a local user. This scripts works fine on XP (the local user "testuser" exists on the on WS2K8 server I'm running on): $user = [ADSI]"WinNT://./testuser,user" $user.Fullname="Test User" $user.SetInfo() When I hit the SetInfo() line, I get this error: Exception calling "SetInfo" with "0" argument(s): "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. ( Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)" If i do $user.psbase.properties, it dumps the list of properties and values with the new value reflected, i just want actually write the info. Googling had turned up nothing useful. Thanks. --> A.J. Fried
  • 2. Loading Registry hive with PowerShell
    Hello, how can I load and unload a Registry hive with PowerShell? Of course, I could call reg.exe to load and unload my hive, but this seems not very beautiful for me. Further, there are different versions of reg.exe which have a different parameter ordering. I trying to modify the Default User ntuser.dat with PowerShell. Can anybody give some hints? Please bear with me, I just starting to use PowerShell... Thanks for your reply! Andi

  • 4. Searching for Patterns in Hashtable
    I have a hashtable that has been formed by reading in values from an xml file, so I end up with a hashtable with keys and corresponding values. What I need to do is search through for keys that begins with specific patterns, can I use the containskey metthod with some kind of filter? So far I am working around it using the following:- $result = $hash1.keys | select-object | Where-Object {$_ -like "PATTERN*"} I can then check if $result.count is greater than zero. This seems a little clunky to me and was wondering if there is a better way around this? Thanks.

TotalFreeSpace, TotalSize -auto

Output:

Try:


$FreeGB = @{label="Free (GB)";expression={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.TotalFreeSpace/1gb)}}
$TotalSizeGB = @{label="TotalSize (GB)";expression={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.TotalSize/1gb)}}
$PFreespace = @{label="% Free";expression={"{0:P2}" -f ($_.TotalFreeSpace/$_.TotalSize)}}
$PUsedSpace = @{label="% UsedSpace";expression={"{0:P2}" -f (($_.TotalSize-$_.TotalFreeSpace)/$_.TotalSize)}}

[System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives() | where {$_.DriveType -eq "Fixed"} | ft 
name,$FreeGB,$TotalSizeGB,$PFreespace,$PUsedSpace -auto

The last two lines of Shay's script are actually one line, wrapped.  Make 
that one line and you should be good to go.

1.40 GBs of hard disk space gone 

My computer , a Sony Vaio, running windows vista , has a 105 GB harddisk, 
even taking into account the whole 1000mb=1Gb v.s. 1024mb=1Gb issue, since i 
am missing 40Gbs, that i cannot find, look at, or delete. I open up the 
hardrive, highlight all the sub folders, and look at the properties, the 
total GB count comes up as 65GB, but then I go to the computer as a whole, 
and it shows the disk as full, 105 of 105 gb used. I have looked into 
(ALL)temporary files, I have defraged my hardrive, I have done disk clean up 
repeatedly, and i have conducted several disk scans. I cannot find were this 
40gbs is going to; is there somewhere i just havent looked?

2.Where has all the GBs gone? 

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how I managed to use up so much space on my hard 
drive in just 9 months.  I have a 120GB hdd, which converts to approx 111GB.  
HP Recovery used 8.34 leaving me 103GB.

Out of 103GB, I currently have 30.8 free space.  This is incredible that 
I've used 72.2 GB in 9 months.  My 7-year old desktop with XP has 80GB with 
55GB free space.

Does Vista use this much space?  If I right click on Windows, select 
Properties, it calculates 12.7 GB.  Is this a true number?  If so, I've done 
this for every folder and the large ones are Program Files 12.1 and my user 
is 17.7GB.  No other users.  Pagefile.sys 3.1GB and hiberfil.sys 3.4GB.  Many 
other misc folders add up to 5.75 GB. 

All these files add up to 55.15 GB.  That leaves 17GB that I can't account 
for.  Where's that missing 17GB?

3.SP1 with 8 GBs DDR2 667Mhz problem 

Hello all:
   I had 4 2GB sticks of  667 Mhz RAM left over from upgrading a couple of 
pcs to 800 Mhz RAM so I pulled out the 3 GB 800 Mhz RAM from my Vista 
Ultimate x64 PC and put in the 8 GBs of 667 Mhz RAM.  It seems to work ok 
after a couple of re-boots but.......it is quite a bit slower to boot up.  
With 3 GBs of 800 Mhz it was taking about 90 seconds to 2 mins.  With 8 GBs 
of 667 Mhz it is taking 4 1/2 minutes.  Shutdown time seems about the same.  
Intel specs say my DG965WH board can use 8 GB of 667 Mhz.  Is the slow boot 
because Windows is taking more time to load more data in memory than it would 
with 3 GBs?  Or, is the problem of using more than 4 GB's with Vista using 
all 4 slots not solved by the latest Intel Bios and SP1?  The PC was actually 
working great with 3 GBs but I wanted to see if it would work with 8 GBs to 
make it easier to install & use a couple of virtual operating systems.  I 
don't really NEED to have that capability but I just wanted to learn more 
about using Virtual operating systems.  I'd be interested in comments from 
others using 8 GBs of RAM and how it's working on their pc.
