Access to Exchange Online
Log into exchange online.
$livecred = get-credential $session = New-PSSession -configurationname microsoft.exchange -connectionuri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -credential $livecred -authentication basic -allowredirection import-pssession $session
Credentials
[2]To make life a little easier with service accounts, I needed to create the credential objects.
$admin='adminuser' $pass1='securepasswordstoredforyoutoread' $creds=new-object system.management.automation.pscredential($admin,$pass1)
Now I can run the scripts without typing things in all the time.
get-aduser -credentials $creds -identity someuser
Powershell Version
$PSVersionTable
Import Excel Spreadsheets
[4]This will save the hassle of converting to CSV all the time.
Install-Module ImportExcel Import-Excel '.\test.xlsx' -StartRow 3 -EndRow 5 -StartColumne 2 -EndColumne 4
NTFS Permissions
Get-Command –Module NTFSSecurity Get-NTFSAccess -path .\Contacts add-ntfsaccess -path .\contacts -account first.last -accessrights read
Passing Passwords to PSSession
[7] Convert to secure string then call from file. This following pulls from stdin as a secure string (converts what you type), then converts that to something (I'm still new to Microsoft's ways of doing things), then stores as a file.
read-host -assecurestring | convertfrom-securestring | out-file C:\securestring.txt
