PowerShell : WMI Support in RC2 (Series part 2)

PowerShell : WMI Support in RC2 : Privileges and connection settings (Series part 3) [WMI]

Series about WMI changes in RC2

As the WMI Support in PowerShell as also changed in RC2, This was the start of new WMI series by translating former WMI posts on former blog to PowerShell RC2, and to show what has changed, this are the first 3 and  till now the last but the serie is not ready yet, so I will continue it on this blog. 

Opposed to what I think about the new Active Directory Support See :  PowerShell RC2 and Active Directory Part 2 , In this Case I think the wrapper does add value, here also a bit more PSBase is needed, but the added functional in this case I think is much more as what the ADSI wrapper does and I has much less impact on working interactively 

 

This was the second part of this series covering October and November of last year, as these entries where still all after PowerShell RC2 not much changes yet,

*Remark * I'm still a bit thinking how to make this index  as usefull as possible , I think about making Category pages for this pages also (like the PowerTab Overview Page and PowerShell VideoList ) and at least make extra pages for an WMI , ADSI, ADO.NET overall list

As this index takes considerable effort, does it have added value like this, or could I better work on new posts ?

As I'm very used to the Google Search on my Old blog, and the Recent Items (relative to post, so I could walk back ) with only the last 5 Entries listed in sidebar on this blog, I need to get to the Archives fast for a list so for me sometimes it's still harder to find items on this blog as on my old one.

Also as I mostly search for something that I know for sure is there just to look it up, my use might be a bit different,

 I had a lot of complaints about this on the old blog not much on the new one, So I would glad to hear what you think :

  • Is findability improved on this new blog ?
  • Do you think this series about posts on my old blog is usefull ?
  • Is the format right ?
  • Is there enough info provided about content in description ? 
  • Do you think category pages will work ?
  • Do pages on this blog need to be on those pages also (as those have tag lists already) ?
  • Does the Search on this blog function for you ?
  • Does the Taglist on this blog work for you ?
  • do you have more Input ?

 

Enjoy,

Greetings /\/\o\/\/

# re: MOW PowerShelled Blogitems Index : October - November 2006

Hi MOW

I know that the cmdlet 'get-acl' is buggy and it doesn't work with square bracket in pathname.

Ex: get-acl 'C:\Temp\streams\adsspy``[1].zip'

doesn't work but gci C:\Temp\streams\adsspy``[1].zip work best.

I have now the same problem with 'rename-item'.

test``[1]file.txt work perfect but the same escape sequence in -rename-item 'test``[1]file.txt' newname.txt- doesn't work.

It rename-item also buggy ??

Franck,

some cmdlets do have a literalpath ( GI ) parameter and some don't have a literalpath.

rename-item does not have one.

also this parameter did not solve the complete problem, I did not test to much with it (yet) but there is a lot of disccusion on the newsgroup ( microsoft.public.windows.powershell link to webbased version you can find in sitebar.) about this and there are some people there that did a lot of testing on this, also I think there is a bug report filed about this allready on connect.

I would recomment posting your experiences on the newsgroup also, there are a lot of people more experienced in this kind of problems.

Greetings /\/\o\/\/
