I know this is a silly question but, does a person generally install the 64bit powershell on 64 bit windows?  I assume yes

1 - when i copied this script, i got a lot of unicode spaces. don't know how that happened.

2 - when i run it, i get lots of what looks like dumped registry entries in white text and access errors in red text.

does this need to be updated?

Has the local administrator account been renamed?

You might want to include the following commands:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

This allows you to run the script on the comptuer

Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate

This imports the module so you can use it

If the PC doesn't have internet access, you can copy the PSWindowsUpdate folder from C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0 folder from a computer with internet to the same folder on the non-internet computer. Then run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate

in my case it is not logging scripts logs which is invoked by my c# code, what will be the solution?

After transcription on Invoke-Command I am getting The term 'Out-String' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

$account = [ADSI]("WinNT://$Computer/Administrator,user") - When I check $account after this, it returns an error "format-default : The following exception occurred while retrieving member "distinguishedName": "Unknown error (0x80005000)". Hence the value $account is empty.

No, it is not just a long string. You can use object properties to parse the result. I gave a few examples in the article.

err yes because this was the get-volume before the clear-disk. But shouldn't clear-disk report an error if that was the case?

And this is it after the clear-disk

I am looking for a way to change the partition type from MBR to GPT.

Thanks for your time.

Well, yes, but the content is just one long string, hence my question...

$BlobCSV.Content might technically be an array, but [0] has everything...

As you can see, the variable doesn't contain just a string, but a WebResponseObject. This means you can use this object to extract all the data you need.

Thanks for taking the time to reply 🙂
Yes, I do have a url, it was late and I forgot to include it here...

$BlobCSV = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers $AuthHeaders
$BlobCSV.GetType()

I guess these are all the types you'd expect.

I guess this isn't helped by the billing report having two lines with text before the CSV columns start on line 3...
