Differences with X509Certificate2 between Powershell and PWSH Core (Windows)
Hi all, I wrote some code that loads a certificate from a crt file and it works so far. But with PWSH (7.5.1) some properties (like DnsNameList) are empty. With Windows Powershell the properties are filled. This is true, even when using static LoadCertificateFromFile class under PWSH. (Otherwise I load the certificate with [ X509Certificate2]::new( thebytes )) The validity of the certificate makes no difference so far. It would be nice if anyone has a suggestion how I can work around that issue. THX in advance and best regards!
Launch program remotely which must remain running
Hello everyone, I have to start and leave programs running on some remote PCs, I used invoke-command with start-job and start-process. Launching the script from my powershell window, the executables remain running until I close the window itself, I believe for reasons of remote sessions started. So if I schedule the start of this script in the Windows "Task Scheduler", the session is opened and closed and the executables start and close shortly after, that is, when the scheduled task completes. I also set the "-noexit" argument, but nothing happened. What can I do so that I can schedule these startups and let the affected programs run? I hope I was clear, ask if you need it, thanks everyone.Looking for alternatives to list properties of Word files

PS C:\Windows> Get-MGUser -All Get-MGUser : InteractiveBrowserCredential authentication failed: In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1 + Get-MGUser -All + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-MgUser_List], AuthenticationFailedException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Cmdlets.GetMgUser_List Prior to this I did a "connect-mgraph -Scopes "User.Read.All" " and authenticated myself with MFA.

Hello all I've got this to do what I want but thought I'd run it past people who know more than me in the hope someone would be kind enough to advise on the following. The intention is to run this every few minutes using task scheduler, I'll push to one or more machines with an RMM. Questions. Is this an efficient an accurate way to do this? Are there any improvements anyone wants to suggest for the code Am I re-inventing a wheel that I can get somewhere for free or low cost? I'm waiting for the new version of GRC's DNS testing tool so this is a stopgap unless it works well enough.

Help to add some functions to PowerShell Vpn Script
Good day sorry if sounds silly I am new learning everything. I for the life of me cannot find on the documentation for VpnClient find how to add Enable software compression under PPP settings and Negotiate multi-link for single-link connections. Also how do I add like dns address with the script for like under Advanced TCP/ICP Settings? Also with Register this connections addressess in DNS and Use the connections DNS suffic in DNS registration. And also with WINS with the ip address under it. If anyone could spare some time to help me understand this would be helpful. I fear I am overthinking it way to much. I was never explained prior how any of this works.

FC Target discovery
I was looking for a way to discover FC targets for each initiator. Searching on the web I found this code # Get all initiator ports (HBA ports) $initiatorPorts = Get-InitiatorPort # Loop through each initiator port and list its targets foreach ($port in $initiatorPorts) { Write-Host "Initiator Port: $($port.NodeAddress) - $($port.PortAddress)" $targets = Get-InitiatorTarget -InitiatorPortAddress $port.PortAddress foreach ($target in $targets) { Write-Host " Target: $($target.NodeAddress) - $($target.PortAddress)" } } But is not working because the Get-initiatortarget is not recognized as valid command. Is there a way I can do it thanks
