Can the set-date cmdlet be executed to a remote server? I don't see -computer
in the syntax listing (get-help set-date).

With the upcoming DST change in March, I was looking at Powershell as an
option to change a few servers times:

Set-Date (Get-Date).AddHours(-1)

Thanks,
Brian

WMI would be an option for this :

PS H:\> $time = ( Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName .
).LocalDateTime
PS H:\> $time
20070130100352.027000+060
PS H:\> $NewTime = ( [wmi]'' ).ConvertToDateTime( $time ).AddHours(2)
PS H:\> $newtime

2007 Jan 30 12:03:52 PM


PS H:\> $newTime = ( [wmi]'' ).ConvertFromDateTime($NewTime)
PS H:\> $newtime
20070130120352.027000+060
PS H:\> ( Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName .
).SetDateTime($newtime)

MOW, you are simply superb,

Can I have your real Name.

Also I'm want to learn powershell and active directory. Could you please
give me some links. I have seen lots of link I guess 10 parts series on your
Blogspot.
But very few work due changes in RC2, if you could give more details about
it.

Cheers,

(I next to the serie I have some more example posts/ scripts (23 total I
think) ;-)

you can find a list (of most of them ) here

http://del.icio.us/powershell/ActiveDirectory

I describe the changes here :

http://mow001.blogspot.com/2006/09/p...directory.html
http://mow001.blogspot.com/2006/09/p...ectory_29.html

from there it should be not that hard "translating the "old" examples (
adding psbase mostly )

as I do not that much AD at work anymore at this moment and I switched to
IronPython for my AD work (my hopes are on V1.x or V2 for PowerShell to
switch back ), could be some time till I do an AD post again (sorry)

but if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks again, for the Heads up.

Marc,

Inspire by your blogs I have created two Blogs, one for reading AD
properties and other for creating bulk users. However when i create bulk
users I can;t enable account and set password in one go.

If you find suitable time could have a look at techstarts.blogspot.com,
sorry to reply back to group. I was not sure If I would have left comment
would that made sense.

Thanks,
Techstarts.blogspot.com

I did find your blogentries allready ;-)

you need to save the Object first , because the object must exist before
setting the password

guess translated (from script in >
http://mow001.blogspot.com/2006/08/p...ry-part-7.html
) it would be this (no AD handy so not tested)
you really need to use the psbase.Invoke, as the wrapper does not handle
this (and ADSI generated method properties) correct, if I remember well.(
there is a thread about it)

$newUser.psbase.Commitchanges()
$newUser.psbase.Invoke("SetPassword","P@ssW0Rd")
$newUser.psbase.pwdLastSet = 0

# Enable User
$newUser.psbase.userAccountControl = 512
$newUser.Commitchanges()

I also find the put() ugly and the commit / setInfo, bit thats the way the
wrapper wants it (oops, sorry my rant mode comes back a bit )

as again I see how much confusion this wrapper brings,
I also use this solution at work, that helps a lot. :
http://pathologicalscripter.wordpres...-methods-back/

also good info about RC and AD you can find here :

http://tech-comments.blogspot.com/20...ll-10-rc2.html

PS why do you put all properties from CSV in varables first ?
