@Ken - You should be able to relatively easily - however, you'd have to download it first, since you can't get the file properties until you download it. You could download it to a temp location, grab the LastWriteTime stamp and parse it to create your new name.
@Sumit - You have a similar situation. Download your file to a temporary location, and then copy/rename it with a timestamp in the name, and then you'll keep a running list. You'll also need to manage the old copies so you don't fill up your disk. 🙂

Use PowerShell to download a file with HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP 2 days, 7 hours agoHi,
Thanks for this. I plan to use this along with task scheduler to download a fresh file every week. However, the new file overwrites the older one. Is there a way to preserve the older file as well?
Regards.

Rename files with PowerShell 2 days, 11 hours agoIn this beginner's guide, you will learn how to rename files with PowerShell. I will demonstrate how to list files with the Get-ChildItem cmdlet, and then I will discuss a few examples of renaming files with the Rename-Item cmdlet.
0Add " | Out-File -FilePath C:tempmyfilename.csv" to the end of the command

PowerShell 5 days, 7 hours ago0Not to be judgemental, but this article is misleading - You show the installation of VMWare pyVmomi, but the rest of the article has zero relevance to that, it using is standard SSH, rather that the features exposed by VMWare Rest API.
0Thank you David for taking the time out to respond. I'll give it a try
0You just need to use -include to include only those directories. But, if you have the possibility of directory names and file names being very similar to each other, you can expand this and get the list of directories to check, and then go through them.
So, for example you could do something like this:
get-childitem -path c:topdir -recurse -directory -include test* | foreach-object { get-childitem -path $_ -file | Select-Object -first 10 @{Name="Gigabytes";Expression={[Math]::round($_.length / 1GB, 2)}}You'd obviously want to massage it a lot more to get exactly what you want.. but that gives you the basis for what you're looking for.

10 reasons for using PowerShell ISE instead of the PowerShell console 2 weeks, 1 day agoUse VSCode now (in 2021). Very simple. ISE is dead these days. Times change.
And it's not a big deal, ISE still works, for version 5.1. There exist just better tools, e.a. the VSCode extension.Others apparantly complain that Microsoft doesn't upgrade ISE anymore or "pushes" people towards VSCode.
But VSCode is an amazing tool and it's open source.Personally, as a developer, I was already using VSCode for multiple code editing tasks before, after I started learning PowerShell I started searching for more VSCode extensions later and decided that I wanted a PowerShell plugin as well, so I choose it and noticed that worked very well. So I don't feel being pushed anyway.
Actually I feel more "pushed" by the fact that the PowerShell plugin wants you to change the theme back to a ISE style, while I am just happy with the dark theme that VSCode has.

Michael Pietroforte replied to the topic Get-WUList command result different between local and Invoke-Command in
PowerShell Forum 2 weeks, 5 days agoYour screenshots are not really helpful because it all in French. I highly recommend to work only in English as an IT pro. This allows you to search for error messages and communicate with other IT pros on the net.
You can try to run get-module, to see if the module has been loaded in your remote session.
Perhaps the module does not work in remote sessions. I recommend contacting the developer.

PowerShell Forum 2 weeks, 5 days agoI Michael. Thank you for your help.
I Execute the install-Module PSWindowsUpdate with -Verbose option on both machine. So I suppose the module is installed and loaded. I have also execute Get-WUList command with -Verbose and the result so weird :
It seems the command is lauched well but cannot have access to the availables updates. What do you think ?
Regards.
