Windows Servers Uptime Report using PowerShell
Hi Folks, A customer has mix of Windows servers (2012, 2016, 2019) on-premises environment. Customer needs to generate a report via PowerShell about the availability of servers. During my search I found a script on this link and its modified version is attached. Please note, this script reads windows events and based on that produces result. There is a problem where I need help, this script doesn't run against list of servers via a CSV file or a text file and we suspect it is not producing correct result. Can somebody please review this script and help us with the right syntax or what is missing here? Thanks in advance.

Run Script from SCCM
I am a novice at PowerShell. I have a request to run a script from SCCM to install a list of printer drivers. Script is as follows... # Ricoh Universal Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\Ricoh\Universal Print Driver ver4_27\disk1" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } # Ricoh SP3410dn Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\Ricoh\SP 3410DN\PCL6\DISK1" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } # Ricoh SP3510dn Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\Ricoh\SP 3510DN\PCL6\DISK1" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } # Ricoh SPC232dn Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\Ricoh\SP C232DN\PCL6\DISK1" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } # HP T1300 Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\HP\T1300 PS Server 2016\win_x64_ps3_drv\win_x64_ps3_drv" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } # Zebra ZDesigner GX420t Print Driver Get-ChildItem "\\server\d$\Print_Drivers\Other\Zebra\ZD5-1-16-7110\ZBRN" -Recurse -Filter "*.inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } I can run this script locally on a machine & it runs fine, takes about 90 seconds to complete. When I create an application for it in SCCM & deploy it, its like it doesn't have time to complete the installs before PowerShell shuts down. Then the app shows as failed in Software Center. How do I make it wait to finish running the script before closing out PowerShell?Hybrid Exchange/O365 Automation (Off boarding)
I have been working with a script that was handed off to me. Its purpose was to automate some of our off-boarding processes on our Hybrid Exchange/Microsoft O365 server. It's worked in the past, but has been slowly breaking as time has moved on. Currently, my biggest challenge is trying to figure out why it won't let myself and a few other admins connect to our exchange/O365 server. I have a sneaking suspicion it's related to the currently installed modules/available cmdlets.

How to migrate selected folder and files permission from OneDrive to Sharepoint Online?
We are migrating all the permission of selected contents(files and folders) from the OneDrive to SharePoint Online, if number of files are less than 100, script migrate it's in half an hour, however, if the count of files more than 5000 then it will takes around 10 hours, which is effecting the performance of migration. Kindly find below the portion of code for getting the permissions. #$fileUrl -NewFolder/logo.png $file = Get-PnPFile -Url $fileUrl -AsListItem Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $file -Property RoleAssignments $members = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $roleAssignments -Property RoleDefinitionBindings, Member $member = $roleAssignments.Member #list of users $Users = Get-PnPProperty -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ClientObject $member -Property Users #Return Accesstype $accessType = $roleAssignments.RoleDefinitionBindings.Name; Hence, we are decide to use workflow in the PowerShell script, as shown in the below link: https://gist.github.com/jamiekt/f586e47cb96b93dacbe5 But this link doesn't fulfil our requirement.
