More PowerShell Commands with Some Examples
Here are some more commands I use when working on headless Windows Server hardware and virual machines, such as
Windows Server Core:
Open a Windows command prompt as Administrator:
runas /user:administrator CMD.exe
Install Failover Cluster Tools:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Failover-Clustering –IncludeManagementTools
Include command line management tools:
Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-Clustering-CmdInterface
Find out if package is installed. This example uses GIT:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-Package | Select-Object Name | findstr -i git
Git
Find out if package is installed. This exampled uses WAC(Windows Admin Center):
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-package | select-object Name | findstr -i Admin
Windows Admin Center
Another way to do same as above, but more “Precise”. Can USE WILD-CARDS!!!:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-package | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Windows Admin Center*"}
Name Version Source ProviderName
---- ------- ------ ------------
Windows Admin Center 1.3.53858.0 C:\Program Files\Windows Admi... msi
Display ALL services installed and their status:
Get-Service | Select-Object Name,Status,DisplayName
Check Status of Windows Admin Center(IF Installed – Otherwise will not find it!
Get-Service | Select-Object Name,Status,DisplayName | findstr Admin
FINDS:
“ServerManagementGateway”, the ACTUAL name of WAC!
ServerManagementGateway Running Windows Admin Center Service
ServerManagementGatewayAccount Stopped Windows Admin Center Account Service
Configure DNS Servers:
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 3 -ServerAddresses ("192.168.200.103","192.168.200.121","75.75.76.76")
Disable ALL Firewall Zones:
Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private -Enabled False
Enable a port through firewall:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinRM-HTTP" dir=in localport=5985 protocol=TCP action=allow
Check if Windows Admin Center has been installed:
Get-WmiObject -Class win32_service | Where-Object {$_.name -like "WinRM"}
Download a file using PowerShell:
$WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$WebClient.DownloadFile("http://192.168.200.125/WindowsAdminCenter2110.2.msi","C:\Users\Administrator\WindowsAdminCenter2110.2.msi")
Check EvenLogs for logins, failures, apps, etc:
get-eventlog -list
get-eventlog Application -after (get-date).addhours(-1)
get-eventlog Application -after (get-date).addhours(-8)
USE Security log for checking logins:
get-eventlog Security -after (get-date).addhours(-1)
FORMATTING Example of explicit log index number:
Get-EventLog Security | where index -eq 3704 | format-list *
DOWNLOAD & Install MS SQL Server:
$wc=new-object system.net.webclient
$wc.downloadfile("https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866662","SQL2019-SSEI-Dev.exe")
