Create ISO image using PowerShell: how to save IStream to file? - com

I want to create an ISO image, so a .iso file, on Windows. This is possible to do using COM component IMAPI2FS.MsftFileSystemImage, and I found instructions on how to do this using PowerShell in an MSDN blog post entitled "Writing optical discs using IMAPI 2 in powershell".
After step 3, those instructions say that "at this step you can stop and save resulted image to the local hard disc, this will be a pure iso image."
My question: How do I take $resultStream, i.e., a COM object that results from retrieving an ImageStream, in PowerShell and save its contents to a file?

You need to use FileStream writer. Check this link for an example of how it is done in c#.
http://tools.start-automating.com/Install-ExportISOCommand/?-Download
The function there can be used to create cmdlets that help you create ISO. For example,
Run Install-ExportISOCommand
This creates Export-Iso
Then, use Export-ISO to create an ISO.
Export-Iso -ISOPath C:\dropbox\test.iso -FileName C:\Dropbox\Scripts

You can use the DiscUtils library to make ISOs (and manage other disk formats such as VHD/VHDX, DMG, FAT, etc). A PowerShell module is supported as well an MSBUILD task to automatically create your ISO on project build.
Create a CDBuilder object and go to town with adding files and directories then save it to disk with the Build method. Download documentation here.
CDBuilder builder = new CDBuilder();
builder.AddFile("samplefile.txt", new byte[] { });
builder.Build(#"c:\output.iso");
The great thing about this approach is that it is 100% managed code and cross-platform - there is no IMAPI2 COM/Marshaling requirement.

This is an end-to-end PowerShell ISO creator with GUI that I've used many times. No additional software required.

Download SharePoint 2010 Library Items using PowerShell V2 with CSOM

my goal is: Get the items within the folders in a SharePoint 2010 library. I'm struggling trying to get some Items from a SharePoint 2010 Library using CSOM with PowerShell.
I tried three different methods that i found in the internet but still without success. Also the Microsoft's Documentation is really sh*t in this aspect, hope somebody can help me. So here we go:
1.Method A
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileInformation]$fileInfo = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File]::OpenBinaryDirect($ctx, $file.ServerRelativeUrl);
[System.IO.FileStream]$writeStream = [System.IO.File]::Open("$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)", [System.IO.FileMode]::Create);
$fileInfo.Stream.CopyTo($writeStream);
$writeStream.Close();
With the A method I get this error:
Method invocation failed because [System.Net.ConnectStream] doesn't contain a method named 'CopyTo'.
+ $fileInfo.Stream.CopyTo <<<< ($writeStream);
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (CopyTo:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
The [System.Net.ConnectStream] can't find the method CopyTo
I was lookign information about this, in the System.Net namespace and in the "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileInformation" class but without success :(
2.Method B
$binary = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File]::OpenBinaryDirect($ctx, $file.ServerRelativeUrl)
$Action = [System.IO.FileMode]::Create
$new = "$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)"
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream $new, $Action
$writer = New-Object System.IO.BinaryWriter($stream)
$writer.write($binary)
$writer.Close()
Method B don't give me a error, but in stead of downloading the Items, it makes empty files in the destination folder. So this method isn't downloading the items, just making new files.
3.Method C
$binary = $file.OpenBinary()
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream("$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)"), Create
$writer = New-Object System.IO.BinaryWriter($stream)
$writer.write($binary)
$writer.Close()
I'm not sure if method C belongs to CSOM or to the SharPoint built-in Server side client, if it's so please let me know. This is the error i'm getting:
Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File] doesn't contain a method named 'OpenBinary'.
At C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\SharePointOnPremisesBackUp\SharePointOnPremisesBackUp.ps1:77 char:31
+ $binary = $file.OpenBinary <<<< ()
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (OpenBinary:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
And here PowerShell can't find the OpenBinary() method in Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File and there is nearly not information about this method.
Here is the complete function I'm trying to use:
function GetDocumentLibs ($ctx, $web)
{
Function IterateFoldersRecursively([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Folder]$folder, [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext]$ctx)
{
# make sure that the "Web.Context.Url" is the current web url
if ($web.Context.Url.StartsWith($SiteCollectionUrl) -eq $true)
{
$files = $folder.Files
$ctx.Load($folder.Files)
$ctx.Load($folder.Folders)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
foreach ($subFolder in $folder.Folders)
{
IterateFoldersRecursively $subFolder $ctx
}
# Check if folder Exist and Skip
$libraryTargetPath = "$($TargetPath)\$($folder.ServerRelativeUrl.Replace('/', '\'))"
New-Item -Path $libraryTargetPath -ItemType Directory -Force
foreach ($file in $files)
{
# Method 1
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileInformation]$fileInfo = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File]::OpenBinaryDirect($ctx, $file.ServerRelativeUrl);
[System.IO.FileStream]$writeStream = [System.IO.File]::Open("$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)", [System.IO.FileMode]::Create);
$fileInfo.Stream.CopyTo($writeStream)
$writeStream.Close()
# Method 2
$binary = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File]::OpenBinaryDirect($ctx, $file.ServerRelativeUrl)
$Action = [System.IO.FileMode]::Create
$new = "$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)"
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream $new, $Action
$writer = New-Object System.IO.BinaryWriter($stream)
$writer.write($binary)
$writer.Close()
# Method 3
$binary = $file.OpenBinary()
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream("$($libraryTargetPath)\$($file.Name)"), Create
$writer = New-Object System.IO.BinaryWriter($stream)
$writer.write($binary)
$writer.Close()
# delete folder
}
}
}
$folder = $web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl($web.ServerRelativeUrl)
$ctx.Load($folder)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
IterateFoldersRecursively $folder $ctx
}
the tools I'm using:
Sapien's PowerShell Studio
PowerShell V2 with CSOM
SharePoint 2010 OnPremises
Please if you have any Solution, Reference, Documentation or tutorial that can be useful tell me. Thanks in advance.
After a lot of research i found a solution and decide to use this method:
function GetDocumentLibs ($ctx, $web)
{
$site = $ctx.Site
$ctx.Load($site)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
$siteUrl = $site.Url
Function IterateFoldersRecursively([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Folder]$folder, [Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext]$ctx)
{
if ($web.Context.Url.StartsWith($SiteCollectionUrl) -eq $true)
{
$files = $folder.Files
$ctx.Load($folder.Files)
$ctx.Load($folder.Folders)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
foreach ($subFolder in $folder.Folders)
{
IterateFoldersRecursively $subFolder $ctx
}
$targetPath = "$($TargetPath)\$($folder.ServerRelativeUrl.Replace('/', '\'))"
New-Item -Path $targetPath -ItemType Directory -Force
foreach ($file in $files)
{
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
$client.DownloadFile("$($siteUrl)$($file.ServerRelativeUrl)", "$($targetPath)\$($file.Name)")
}
}
}
$folder = $web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl($web.ServerRelativeUrl)
$ctx.Load($folder)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
IterateFoldersRecursively $folder $ctx
}
Remember to implement some exception handling.
I hope this is helpful for somebody with the same problem.

jmeter report and email

I'm wondering what is the best practice for reporting Jmeter test results and email them, including configuring the email subject to include test name and success/fail. even if that includes (free) plugins.
on which OS are you using jmeter
Windows?
if windos than you can use powershell to start a test and after that send an email:
here is function:
function sendemail([string]$to, [string]$subject,[string] $body){
#$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPPort = ""
#$to = "yourmeila#gmail.com"
#$subject = $subject1#"Email Subject"
#$body = "Insert body text <b>here</b>"
$message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
$message.subject = $subject
$message.body = $body
$message.to.add($to)
$message.IsBodyHtml = $true
#$message.cc.add($cc)
$message.from = $usernameemail
#$message.attachments.add($attachment)
$smtp = New-Object System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpemail, $SMTPPort);
$smtp.EnableSSL = $true
$smtp.Credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($usernameemail, $passwordemail);

Powershell Salesforce SOAP API SessionHeader Type Converion Issue

Hi I am having trouble setting the SessionHeaderValue. I am basing my code on c#.Net. The login works and I receive the serviceUrl and sessionId in the login result but I can't get the session Id set in the session header
Here is the code
$uri = "c:\installs\sforce.wsdl"
$username = "username"
$password = "password"
# Proxy
$service = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $uri -Namespace sforce -UseDefaultCredential
# Login
$loginResult = $service.login($username, $password)
$service.Url = $loginResult.serverUrl
$service.SessionHeaderValue = New-Object sforce.SessionHeader
This is the error I get which is a bit odd.
Exception setting "SessionHeaderValue": "Cannot convert the "sforce.SessionHeader" value of type "sforce.SessionHeader" to type "sforce.SessionHeader"."
I have been playing with this for a few hours now and have run out of ideas.
Any help is appreciated.

The real problem is that you can't reuse $service. Your instance of $service is only good for the login, and that's it. I think it's due to the way New-WebServiceProxy works. Check this little script out:
$uri = 'file://C:\projects\CRM\SalesForce\Integration\enterprise.xml'
$api = new-webserviceproxy -uri $uri -NameSpace SalesForce
$api.GetType().Module.Assembly.ManifestModule.ScopeName
$api = new-object SalesForce.SforceService.ScopeName
$api.GetType().Module.Assembly.ManifestModule
If you were to run this script, (of course you'd need to substitute your own WSDL), you'd see something like this (the DLLs are dynamic, so the names will be different):
mhgl0l5w.dll
vzecopaq.dll
Notice that not only are the object references for $api different, but the dynamic assembly that New-WebServiceProxy creates is different for each one, which isn't what you might expect. That's why your cast is failing; your objects with the same name are different because they come from different dynamic assemblies. I'm not sure why the behavior is this way - if it's a peculiarity of New-WebServiceProxy, or somehow in SalesForce's WSDL.
The solution is actually pretty simple. Recreate your service object off the namespace generated by New-WebServiceProxy like so:
$uri = "c:\installs\sforce.wsdl"
$username = "username"
$password = "password"
# Proxy
$service = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $uri -Namespace sforce -UseDefaultCredential
# Login
$loginResult = $service.login($username, $password)
$service = New-Object sforce.SforceService
$service.Url = $loginResult.serverUrl
$service.SessionHeaderValue = New-Object sforce.SessionHeader
I found a webpage that implies the the $service.SessionHeaderValue instance should be created using something like:
$service.SessionHeaderValue = New-ObjectFromProxy -proxy $service -proxyAttributeName "SessionHeaderValue" -typeName "SessionHeader"
There was a definition for the New-ObjectFromProxy function in PowerShell + SOAP + AuthenticationInfoValue:
function New-ObjectFromProxy {
param($proxy, $proxyAttributeName, $typeName)
# Locate the assembly for $proxy
$attribute = $proxy | gm | where { $_.Name -eq $proxyAttributeName }
$str = "`$assembly = [" + $attribute.TypeName + "].assembly"
invoke-expression $str
# Instantiate an AuthenticationHeaderValue object.
$type = $assembly.getTypes() | where { $_.Name -eq $typeName }
return $assembly.CreateInstance($type)
}
I don't profess to be a powershell expert, but it appears the instance of the object that New-Object creates isn't really the same type that the proxy object is expecting. Confusingly, they do have the same name.
It's also worth noting that you cannot define a web service proxy twice for the same namespace. This is required for a flow where you need to go to SOAP API to login, then pass the session id to the metadata API to make your requests.
Compare:
$LoginResponse = $sf.login($username, $password)
$newSession = $LoginResponse.sessionId
$newURL = $LoginResponse.serverUrl
$service = New-Object sforce.SforceService
$service.Url = $LoginResponse.serverUrl
$service.SessionHeaderValue = New-Object sforce.SessionHeader
$service.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = $LoginResponse.sessionId
# Set the batch size to 2000
# Though, if it contains two long text area fields, it will set it as 200
# This is to avoid long SOAP messages and is controlled by SF
$service.QueryOptionsValue = new-Object sforce.QueryOptions
$service.QueryOptionsValue.batchSize = 2000
$service.QueryOptionsValue.batchSizeSpecified = $true
$mdservice= new-WebServiceProxy -URI $mdwsdl -Namespace sforce
$mdservice = New-Object sforce.MetadataService
$mdservice.Url = $LoginResponse.metadataServerUrl
$mdservice.SessionHeaderValue = New-Object sforce.SessionHeader
$mdservice.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = $LoginResponse.sessionId
This will generate the following error:

$service.QueryOptionsValue.batchSizeSpecified = $true
$mdservice= new-WebServiceProxy -URI $mdwsdl #Don't set namespace here

After New-Object you have to specify the correct class name. Try this:

$loginResults = $service.login($username,$password)
#set the session Id in partner Object
$service.Url = $loginResults.serverUrl
$sessionHeaderObjClassName = ($service.GetType().FullName) -replace "SforceService","SessionHeader"
$service.SessionHeaderValue = New-Object $sessionHeaderObjClassName
$service.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = $loginResults.sessionId

The Powershell code has several syntax errors, like referring to enums in erroneus a way:
# Incorrect form
[System.Data.Commandtype.StoredProcedure]
# Correct form for referring to enumeration
[System.Data.Commandtype]::StoredProcedure
Later on, there is an undeclared object which's member method is called:
# $command is not set, so ExecuteReader method is available
$reader = $command.ExecuteReader()
It is highly recommended to use strict mode in Powershell. It helps catching typos by preventing access to non-existing properties an uninitialized variables.
Edit
After the updated code, there are still two errors:
# This doesn't make sense. The variable should be SqlParameter, not SqlCommand
$ParamUpdateBackupPathServerName = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
# Like so:
$ParamUpdateBackupPathServerName = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
# This is nonsense syntax
$reader = New-Object -TypeName System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = $UpdateBackupPath.ExecuteReader()
# Like so:
$reader = $UpdateBackupPath.ExecuteReader()

Scripting out individual objects from SQL using SMO

For my job I often have to script out a table with all its keys, constraints and Triggers (basically a full script to recreate the table) from a Microsoft SQL 2008 server.I also have to do this for procedures and triggers.
What I do now is open SSMS right click the object and select script to and select to script it to a file. So if I have 3 procedures to do and 10 tables and 1 trigger I end up doing this 14 times .
What I would like is a powershell script that I could feed a list of objects to and then it would go and use SMO to script each on out to an individual file.
Thanks for the help
Here is a PowerShell function I use whenever I have to script a database. It should be easy to modify just to scripts the objects you need.
function SQL-Script-Database
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Script all database objects for the given database.
.DESCRIPTION
This function scripts all database objects (i.e.: tables, views, stored
procedures, and user defined functions) for the specified database on the
the given server\instance. It creates a subdirectory per object type under
the path specified.
.PARAMETER savePath
The root path where to save object definitions.
.PARAMETER database
The database to script (default = $global:DatabaseName)
.PARAMETER DatabaseServer
The database server to be used (default: $global:DatabaseServer).
.PARAMETER InstanceName
The instance name to be used (default: $global:InstanceName).
.EXAMPLE
SQL-Script-Database c:\temp AOIDB
