Strange behavior with arays
This morning I adjusted the description on many OU's in Active Directory in the Users hive, and wanted to propagate these changes to the computers hive as well. However when performing following syntax the result came back empty
Foreach ($OU in $Source) {Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -eq "$OU.Name"' -SearchBase "OU=whatever...." -server $dom | Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -description $OU.Description -server $Dom}
Started tropubleshooting and saw that Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -eq "$OU.Name"' did not return anything. After a lot of troubleshooting it came down to this, when i run
Foreach ($OU in $Source) {Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -eq $OU.Name' -SearchBase "OU=whatever...." -server $dom | Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -description $OU.Description -server $Dom} Everything works as expected. 10 minutes later the helpdesk starts calling stating they could not longer create mailboxes with our mailbox creation wizard which was written with powershell. The same problem was seen there. It used
$verUs = Get-aduser -filter 'SamAccountName -like "$SamAc"' -Server $Dom
Where $VerUs ended up Empty
Change the code to use
$VerUs = Get-aduser 'SamAccountName -eq $SamAc' -server $domWhich resolved the issue. This code has been running more then one year and i personally ran the code again last friday without any issue. Which brings on the next question "What Changed?!"

You need to learn how to use strings in PowerShell:
$verUs = Get-aduser -filter "SamAccountName -eq '$SamAc'" -Server$Dom
Look up how to use single and double quotes. Understanding the difference is critical.

Strange, obviously you cannot trust official documentation from Microsoft?

Besides i do not want to be nagging, but the script did work until this morning?

This: Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*SvcAccount"' is wrong and will never work.
As I noted. You need to learn how to use expandable strings. Single quotes cannot be expanded.
Yes - there are occasional mistakes but learning to use the basics can help you to avoid these obvious mistakes.
When looking for a SamAccountName do NOT use "-like" with a wild card or you may get back bad info.

Actually that syntax does work; I just tested it. It's just quite slow.

The variable ism null som the result is this:
Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*"'
This will then return ALL accounts which is why it is slow.
PS C:\scripts> $svcaccount = 'testuser' PS C:\scripts> 'Name -like "*$SvcAccount*"' Name -like "*$SvcAccount*" PS C:\scripts> "Name -like '*$SvcAccount*'" Name -like '*testuser*' PS C:\scripts>

To clear thing things up the string "Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*SvcAccount"' | FT Name,SamAccountName -A" is quoted from the Microsoft article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617241.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
This is my understanding on the subject:
Single quotes (') are literal quotes, and therefore not treated as a PowerShell object.
Double quotes are dynamic, wherefore PowerShell will handle the content as an array or object.
But that obviously is an incorrect interpretation.
This explains its actually quite well, thanks for pointing that out:

The base concept comes from "C" language compiler directives. In "C" and other languages a string is either an "expandable" string or a "static" string.
In C@ we use @"string contents" to declare a static string. And just quotes for an expandable string.
An expandable string in PowerShell and other languages is one that is used to embed meta characters in that can be processed by the compiler to produce a modified version of the string.
In PowerShell double quotes indicate an expandable string. Variables within the string will be replaced by the current value of the variable. Strings in single quotes will not have embedded characters addressed as replacement directives.
Certain special character sequences in a string will be expanded to their replacement values as well as variables and subexpressions $().
With "Filter" expressions the expansion does not exactly follow the rules of strings. The string is parsed and passed to the filter which converts it. Variables will be extracted from the environment when possible but will behave better when we use double quotes as the variables will be expanded before passing to the CmdLet.
The issue her is the way the filter works and not just about string parsing.
When using double quotes it is necessary to surround the variable with single quotes. When using single quotes this is not necessary but you cannot pass objects or the properties of objects in a single quoted string. They must be expanded before passing.

This should work:
(see updated code in subsequent post)
Basically what we're doing here is creating an index, and a list of indexes where the first column contains the word "Actuals", which is how we're choosing the lines that have the Year value in them. Then we're converting that to a number to round out the list.
Next, we add a custom column to the original table where we choose the most recent year with an index that is less than or equal to the current row index - essentially, picking the closest header above us, and then populating the column with that value. We have to use an ad hoc function to give us row context (in line #"Added Year to MainTable").
Once we have that, it's a simple matter of unpivoting the columns and then doing a Group By to roll up by year and (let's say) Account name.
EDIT: Just noticed that while I've got the roll-up by year, I neglected the 'Expense Type' (the middle column). The solution is very similar; I'll respond with an updated answer when I've got a chance.- Edited by Chris Dutch Tuesday, July 11, 2017 7:23 PM removed old code

SCOM 2012 R2 Thick client alert resolution update issue
Hi All,
We are using SCOM 2012 R2 UR 12, and the issue we are facing is that the think client is not showing the correct alert resolution state. For example when I check for an alert in Active Alert the resolution state is showing it as New but when I double click it it shows the actual modified one. This creates un-necessary confusion while checking alert via console. Not sure what is the problem. Please help.

I am trying to update the resolution to '255' to close all rule alerts. I can see the change in the DB but the same is not reflecting in SCOM console but when I double click and open the alert it shows the correct status.

SET ResolutionState = '250'

These policies overwrite anything in group policy.
You can access it through the tools menu in System Manager.
Another possibility is that the user account has "user cannot change password" ticked in AD Users and Computers.

After Windows 10 updates we are asked to enter the Bitlocker encryption key every time
Hello,
we activated Bitlocker on some of our PCs with Windows 10 and now everytime we have Win10 updates and the pc reboots, we are first thing asked to enter the Bitlocker encrytpion key to be able to proceed with the boot.
Is there anyway to avoid this behaviour?
Thank you in advance,
Marcello

Hi Marcello.
Be aware that updates in general don't trigger bitlocker recovery. Not even feauture upgrades (the big OS upgrades that require several reboots) will trigger bitlocker recovery. I can assure you that we never even saw a single time that updates triggered recovery in our win10 network that exists for about 1 1/2 years and is fully bitlocked.
What could be a problem is firmware updates. If your update process allows firmware updates and delivers them automatically, you will run into this if you don't suspend bitlocker before.
