I'm trying to list all users who have access to a specific directory and the subfolders in this directory.

I've found this website that shows me how to do this pretty well. But I want to modify this script slightly so I can exclude certain built-in Windows users from the output.

So I found another link on StackOverflow that shows how to exclude a list of users from the results. But when I add the -notmatch to the existing PS script, the Group/User changes from the actual username to True or False for some reason.

What can I do to have this script filter out the users in the $ignore variable and have the Group/User show the username?

Been trying to take a SQL query and output the perfect JSON but I'm running into issues. The query merely involves to tables, when I use "For JSON Auto" it produces a flat array of objects: enter image description here

However there is a hierarchical relationship:

Q2CNum--- LineItems---- Identifier

I've attempted to use "For JSON Path" but it only structures each json object (it won't aggregate all Identifiers under their parent LineItem for example).

I've managed to get it to look like this by joining the table to itself (same query just extra joins, the "For JSON Path Auto" seems to like this) and it looks more like this:enter image description here

Which is good. Problem is the query takes almost 20 times as long (2seconds vs 20).

Perhaps my self joins are badly written, or joining to get these results is inefficient.

Anyway if anyone has a clue how to do this let me know (can't share too much more, I'm sure you noticed the color blockout on the images).

UPDATE:

Here's pic of the query enter image description here. The problem is I get a flat JSON (just an array of object).

For the last week or so I have been struggling to find a resource that will allow me to make something like the 2D petrie polygon diagrams in this article.

My main trouble is finding out what the rules are for the edge and node connections.

I.e. in this plot, is there a simple way to make the image from scratch (even if it not fully representative of the bigger theory behind it)?

Any help is massively appreciated!

I'm trying to script removing the modify permission of a particular folder (or file) for the "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" group, across multiple machines (actually as part of a file deployment script). I have some code that attempts to do this, but it is not working as expected.

The script copies down a file structure locally, and a particular file (ideally the whole folder structure) needs to be made unmodifiable (by non-admins). Setting the read-only setting isn't sufficient, since it can be reverted by those with modify permissions to the file.

Question: How do you associate a Network Interface Card of an Azure Virtual Machine to an Application Security Group?

This official tutorial from MS Azure team describes how to add the network interface for a VM to one of the application security groups the tutorial has created previously. According to the tutorial, in the Azure Portal, you go to your myVmWeb VM==>SETTINGS ==> Networking. Then, Select Configure the application security groups as shown in image 1 below.

But when I follow these steps, I get the image 2 (shown below) that does not have the option Configure the application security groups. Moreover, all other tutorials that I searched online (such as this and this) showing the same image 1 that MS Azure team's tutorial is showing. So, what I may be missing here or is there any other way to associate a VM's NIC to an Application Security Group?

I need help with a code that takes a user's input of specific columns they want from a large csv file I have. After they type in themselves a column they want, they also must type an integer input. That integer input will give them that number of results of the lowest occurrences for that column. For example if they type: hospital_name, "5", it will show them 5 different hospitals(there are at least 50 different hospital names under that column) that have the lowest count tied with them. I will write an example input and output:

Type in which column you want: hospital_name Type in how many lowest results you want: 3

An output may look like:

I've read here that Microsoft is deprecating WMI. I need to start a project in .NET Core and query information from Windows, e.g. Win32_OperatingSystem or Win32_LogicalDisk.

I'v read that you should avoid Get-WmiObject in PowerShell and use Get-CimInstance instead. What (which Nuget/library) should be used in .Net Core now to query those kind of information?

I made a little diagnostic script that I keep in my $profile. In collecting the CPU name I found that the command takes about 4 seconds (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor).Name. So I thought I'd try PowerShell Jobs and while I think they will be really good for long background jobs, if you just want to quickly grab a small piece of information in the background, the initialisation times are awkward (like 2-3 sec per job) so I thought I'd use Start-Process to dump values in temp files while the rest of my script runs. I think I'm doing this correctly, but if you run this function 3 or 4 times, you'll notice that CPU name is not populated.

• Is using Start-Process like this optimal, or does anyone have a quicker way to just start small jobs in the background in parallel? I know there is a .NET way of doing this (but it seems super-complex from what I've seen)?

• Do you know why my "wait for file to be created and be non-zero before accessing it" is failing so regularly?
