I've been rather dark over the last couple of months as I helped to finish up Pluralsight's online training offering, Pluralsight On-Demand . I'm psyched that we finally shipped! Be sure to check it out soon (you can preview bits of each course right now for free), as we're offering a...

I had the pleasure of presenting at both the Minneapolis and Omaha Heartland Developers Conference this year. This is a great conference in the central region where national and regional speakers participate to create a great conference offering. I did a presentation on BizTalk Services in both cities...

In my previous post in this series, I showed how easy it is to work with enumerations in PowerShell. Here's the code I've been walking through in this series: $dacl = (dir foo.txt).GetAccessControl() $newRule = New-Object Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule "keith", Modify, Allow $modified =...

As part of a disaster recovery script, early on I wanted to ensure that all of the vdirs on a server were using ASP.NET 2.0. That meant that I wanted to run aspnet_regiis.exe -r but I didn't want to make any assumptions about what drive or directory Windows was installed in. What I wanted was something...

In part 3 , I walked through the following line of code: $newRule = New-Object Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule "keith", Modify, Allow I pointed out how the "Modify" was automatically converted into an enumeration value, promising that I'd talk more about enumerations later. Well, this value...

In my last post , I showed how to retrieve a file system ACL (well, technically a security descriptor ) via PowerShell. Today I'll show you how to tweak that ACL using System.Security.AccessControl. $newRule = New-Object Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule "keith", Modify, Allow This next line...

In my last post , I introduced a short little script that adjusts the security settings on a file. There are a number of fine points about PowerShell syntax and Windows security concepts that this little script relies upon, and I'm going to walk through them a little bit at a time so that you really...

2007 marked the year that I switched shells. I used to use the Hamilton C Shell , which was powerful and integrates exceptionally well with Windows, but I found myself constantly having to relearn the script syntax whenever I'd want to do something. So when PowerShell came along, I bought Bruce's book...

I'm working on a series of articles on PowerSMO, my combination of PowerShell and SMO, for http://www.simple-talk.com . The first few are on the site now. Some of the topics in these articles are covered in the Applied SQL Server 2005 course. Dan

In our previous blog article Processing XML with PowerShell we looked at using XPath expressions to do calculations that used XML as input. One of the things that this article pointed out was that you often can do an entire calculation within an XPath expression. Sometimes, however, you want to read...

There are a couple of powerful technologies for processing native XML, XPath and XSLT. People often avoid processing native XML but instead convert the XML to an object model in a language they are used to and do “conventional” programming on that model. Even PowerShell itself does this with...

Now that we have PowerSMO! we can start making use of it. The first example will be building a test database. Whenever I work on an new database application or write labs for a course that involves databases I need to make test database with some data in them. T-SQL is just fine for defining tables and...

Last year I wrote a blog article about using what was then called MSH with SQL Server Management Objects http://pluralsight.com/blogs/dan/archive/2005/12/29/17703.aspx . MSH is now called PowerShell and mixing some SMO with it makes PowerSMO! SMO is a set of object models for SQL Server. With PowerSMO...

This article assumes you know some of the basics of PowerShell programming and are familiar with the System.Xml namespace in...
