Hi EveryoneI am writing a very basic scripts which pulls info from one DB and pushes it to another. I wont go into reasons for doing this etc.The pulling is working correctly and I am building an array of the results.When I do the following is when i run into issues:$data | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database $database -ServerInstance $server -Query "insert into $table (SessionIdTime, SessionIdSeq) VALUES ('$_.SessionIdTime', '$_.SessionIdSeq')"}The results in the table come out as follows:SessionIdTime SessionIdSeqSystem.Data.DataRow.SessionIdTime System.Data.DataRow.SessionIdSeqSo it is recognising the $_ part but then it looks to me like the period (.) is causing the next part to be text. I have tried various ways of escaping it with no luck.I can get it to work by creating a variable for each one in the foreach loop but this seems inefficient i.e:$data | ForEach-Object {$SessionIDTime = $_.SessionIDTime ; $SessionIdSeq = $_.SessionIdSeq ; Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database $database -ServerInstance $server -Query "insert into $table (SessionIdTime, SessionIdSeq) VALUES ('$SessionIdTime', '$SessionIdSeq')"}Your assistance with this would be highly appreciated. RegardsBrendon

datetime and string conversion problem
Hi EveryoneIm pulling some data out of one database with a query that looks like:[quote]$localquery = "SELECT [SessionIdTime],[SessionIdSeq],[InviteTime],[FromUri],[ToUri],[FromUriType],[ToUriType]..........$data = Invoke-Sqlcmd -serverinstance "localhost" -query $localquery[/quote]If I look at the object type of the "SessionIdTime in the $data array it is a date time object and contains the milliseconds that have been pulled from the database.I then put this info into another database (Dont ask :D):[quote]foreach ($d in $data){$qry = "insert into $table VALUES ('$($d.SessionIdTime)', '$($d.SessionIdSeq)', '$($d.InviteTime)', '$FromUri', '$ToUri', '$($d.FromUriType)'.........Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database $database -ServerInstance $server -Query $qry}[/quote]The problem comes in where during this insert the value is put in as a string and the milliseconds are lost which are key to this requirement.I have tried to change the this and do a check as follows:[quote]foreach ($d in $data){$check = $d.SessionIdTime | get-date$qry = "insert into $table VALUES ('$check', '$($d.SessionIdSeq)', '$($d.InviteTime)', '$FromUri', '$ToUri', '$($d.FromUriType)'.........Invoke-Sqlcmd -Database $database -ServerInstance $server -Query $qry}[/quote]I then get the error:Invoke-Sqlcmd : Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string.The value in the array is definitely a date object and there is no other code between this.The field is a datetime field in the destination database.Your assistance with this is much appreciated.

Changing entries in a .ini file using powershell
Hello,I am currently working on automating SSRS installs and need a way of changing a few entries in the .ini file. I've done a fair bit of reading, but there seems (as there always is) several ways of going about it, and I'm having trouble picking a direction.I'm thinking I can Get-Content and then replace some entries (service account, instance name, service account etc..), but when I replace them, do I set them up as parameters or variables at the beginning?I also read that I can get the contents into a hash table, change the entries, and then right back to disk, but from what I have read this does not appear the best way.Ideally, I'd like be able to have something that allows me to do something like...NAME OF POWERSHELL SCRIPT Param1- "instancename" -Param2 "ServiceAccount" etc.orNAME OF POWERSHELL SCRIPT $instancename "TheInstanceName", $SrvAccount "ServiceAccount"...but I am not sure of the initial direction to go in. Would someone please provide me with some advice on what I need to use/employ to get started down this road? I'd also like to hear how some of the more experienced guys here would go about it, perhaps that will help me.I thought that I would need to start the script with a list of variables or parameters laid out then have, say, Get-Content to get the file contents and replace the existing entries with the new values.Does this seem correct? Thank you in advance for any advice given.Kind regards,D.

Need to generate 1 script per object (indexes)
Hello - Have been looking all over for a solution that will allow me to script out my Non-Clustered Indexes to a single file for each index. The closest thing I have found was from Vince Panuccio (SmoDB version 1.0 Powershell script), but it does not generate a file for the NCI's.I wanted to see if I was to post it here, if someone might be able to either tell me how to modify it (to include the NCI's) or just show me a better example. Since this script belongs to someone else, I didn't know if it would be appropriate or not to include it here, but my hope is to find a solution (and I will forward the change on to them upon successfully doing so).

How to add a filter to a variable.
Hello,I hope someone can offer some guidance. I have written a function to set some SSRS settings. It all worked well until I added a couple more SSRS instances. Now, even though I specify the instance name when I call it, the script tries to do all the SSRS instances it finds. I just want it to do the one I specify when I call it. From what I understand I need to apply a filter, but I am not sure where or how, and whether I could apply the filter at the global variable level, rather than on each of the functions that contains the variable. The variable is "SQLInstanceName".Here is my code...function fn-Set-SSRS-ReportServer-VirtualDirectory ([String]$SQLInstanceName, [String]$SSRSDatabaseServerName, [String]$SSRSDatabaseServerTcpPort, [String]$InstID){ Try { $SSRSConMgr = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ReportServer\RS_$SQLInstanceName\v11\Admin" -Class MSReportServer_ConfigurationSetting -ComputerName $ManagedComputer $SSRSConMgr.SetDatabaseConnection("$SSRSDatabaseServerName,$SSRSDatabaseServerTcpPort","ReportServer", 2, "", "") $SSRSConMgr.SetVirtualDirectory("ReportServerWebService", "ReportServer", "3081") $SSRSConMgr.ReserveURL("ReportServerWebService","http://+:80","3081") $SSRSConMgr.ReserveURL("ReportServerWebService","http://+:443","3081") $SSRSConMgr.SetVirtualDirectory("ReportManager", "Reports", "3081") $SSRSConMgr.ReserveURL("ReportManager","http://+:80","3081") $SSRSConMgr.ReserveURL("ReportManager","https://+:443","3081") $XML=[XML](Get-Content "E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.$SQLInstanceName\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config") $InstID = $XML.DocumentElement.InstallationID.Trim("{","}") $SSRSConMgr.DeleteEncryptedInformation() $SSRSConMgr.InitializeReportServer($InstID) $Result = $SSRSConMgr.Isinitialized if ($Result -ne 'True') { Throw "$Result and $Error[0]" } } Catch { Write-Error $Result } }Thank you for reading.Kind regards,D.

Import-Module SqlPS running too slowly
Hi All,I have the following installed on a machineWindows Server 2008 R2SQL Server 2012 PowerShell 3Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack Powershell toolsMy problem is that whenever i run a script that uses the invoke-sql scmdlet, it takes an huge amount of time. I believe this is because it is importing the module automatically each time (i.e. import module sqlps).Is there any way to install the invoke-sql cmdlet as an inbuilt feature of powershell? This would make my scripts run almost immediately instead of taking minutes as they do now.
