Comment on MOSS 2007 Script Collection by Sandeep

Small correction on SPFolder, as it doesn’t allow option to add sub-folders to document library..
i.e. Folder in Folder in Folder

function Add-SPFolder([string]$url, [string]$List, [string]$FolderUrl,[string]$Name) {

$OpenWeb = Get-SPWeb $url
$OpenList = $OpenWeb.Lists[$List]

if($FolderUrl -eq “”)
{
#$Folder = $OpenList.Folders.Add(“http://sp2010/sites/client3/matter0/a”,[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder,$Name)
$Folder = $OpenList.Folders.Add(“”,[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder,$Name)
}
else
{
$Folder = $OpenList.Folders.Add(“$url/$List$FolderUrl”,[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder,$Name)
}

$Folder.Update()

$OpenWeb.Dispose()
}

Comment on Get-AD.ps1 by Niklas Goude

Hi, use the -Filter parameter to specify what you want to filter on; sn, givenName, sAMAccountName etc. (think its default set to cn).
here’s an example:

PS > $user = .\Get-AD.ps1 -Domain powershell.nu -User nigo -Filter sAMAccountName -ToObject
PS > $user

distinguishedName : {CN=Niklas Goude,CN=Users,DC=POWERSHELL,DC=NU}
Path : LDAP://CN=Niklas Goude,CN=Users,DC=POWERSHELL,DC=NU

Oh sorry, I meant to post this earlier. I was running the script in this fashion.
$User1 = .\Get-AD.ps1 -Domain Domain -User rbentancur -ToObject

That is when I got the error above.

Very interesting read and nice script, but I have a problem running it.
I get the error
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At E:\PowershellScripts\get-ad.ps1:631 char:59
+ $SearchResult = ($Searcher.FindOne()).GetDirectoryEntry <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (GetDirectoryEntry:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

Can you give me some help?

Comment on Hiding a ListField in NewForm/EditForm in Sharepoint by Jimbo Alba

Works great, thanks Niklas.

I’m having a list with 2 content types. However, running the script it only applies to the default content type. Do you know how to apply it to all content types on the list? Or maybe be able to select each content type and apply the script?

Comment on SQL through PowerShell by Kevin

“If you use non-integrated authentiacation, you can add “userid=username;password=password;” to the connection string.”
userid is actually two words – user id
http://www.connectionstrings.com/ seems like a good reference website for this type of thing.
Good article – thanks.

Would be good to add that you need to use “MultipleActiveResultSets=True” in the $Connection.ConnectionString =
“server=Server;database=Northwind;trusted_connection=true;MultipleActiveResultSets=True”.
