Register-ScheduledTask -password parameter should accept secure string or PScredential. Currently it accept plain text and the password shows up in event log when register

We are running a home-grown internet speedtest using a PowerShell script. When running the script in ISE on fast network connections (100mbps+), the Invoke-WebRequest commands run fast enough to reflect 100mbps. However, when the script is run through console, the Invoke-WebRequest is restricted and reports speeds of only 25mbps. How can the console be configured to run with the same resources as ISE?

FYI, this is not an issue for slower networks. Only fast networks seem to expose the console bottleneck.

I found a bug with windows defender cmdlets!
Cmdlet:
set-mppreference -scanscheduletime
set-mppreference -scanschedulequickscantime

Providing an argument in format HH:mm works for values from 00:00 to 16:59 works as expected and when running get-mppreference the scanscheduletime and scanschedulequickscantime fields show the time requested.

Providing a time past 7pm (17:00) and then running get-mppreference shows the time in the format 2982615.22:16:00, which i believe means ~3 million days in the future.

Facing issue with PowerShell repository registering

PackageManagement\Register-PackageSource : The property 'Name' cannot be found on this object.

our .net core projects use powershell. The lack of these commands impedes our cross-platform activities.

Many companies have several wifi ssids. You know, "Corp" "Guest" "Upstairs Lab"
Very very common.

How? How do you select one via PowerShell ?

Starting with WMF 5.0 and WMF 5.1 the -NoNewLine option for Write-Host is essentially ignored.

Simple example:
PS C:\> Write-Host "no newline test " -NoNewline

Current Behaviour:
no newline test
PS C:\>

Expected Behavior
no newline test PS C:\>

PS version Table is as follows.

Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 5.1.14409.1012
PSEdition Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion 10.0.14409.1012
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

Trying to manage Remote Desktop certificates using powershell after installing WMF 5.1 on Windows Server 2012 fails with the following error message:

Switch should allow for implied breaks.

I think it would be useful, if it doesn’t exist to have an additional option, e.g.

switch -ImplyBreak ($variable) {
‘red’ { ‘r’ }
‘green’ { ‘g’ }
}

Where -ImplyBreak would make the code above equivalent to:

switch ($variable) {
‘red’ { ‘r’; break }
‘green’ { ‘g’; break }
}

Out-RsfolderContent fails when exporting Mobile Reports because the 'TypeName' MobileReport is not covered in the function.

I added the following remedy to my system. may be nice for others.
I have not yet tested for PowerBI reports ... but neither have the people making these nice modules ...

if (($item.TypeName -eq 'MobileReport') ) {
$relativePath = $item.Path
if($RsFolder -ne "/") { $relativePath = Clear-Substring -string $relativePath -substring $RsFolder -position front }
$relativePath = $relativePath.Replace("/", "\")
$newFolder = $Destination + $relativePath
Write-Verbose "Creating folder $newFolder"
New-Item $newFolder -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
Write-Verbose "Folder: $newFolder was created successfully."
}

Please modify clause ($var -in 1..3) not to use a list in memory.

The code becomes unusable when using long ranges like 1..20000000

Thanks

Can you provide solution for this error.
I am getting it even after i downloaded NTFS security files.

Hi,I have a loop like below. In that, I want to compare next iteration value with current iteration value. If current value is not match with next value then I need to do some process. So I want to know like how to get the next Iteration value of a loop in powershell.
$var = ('abc','abc','bcd','cdf','cdf')
Foreach($i in $var){ 
If($i -ne $nextiterationvalue) 
{       do something  } 
else  {     do something  }}

Thanks,Dinesh
