I'm trying to compare variables. One set of variables is pulled from a .json file while the other is based on a client. Both sets are matching on my test machine lets say $org = 1 and $ORG_ID = 1 . This should be correct but it's not, I've included the output at the bottom. What are some potential issues I should look for to get this fixed? ​ #Profile Correct? $JsonPath = 'C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco Secure Client\Umbrella\data\OrgInfo.json' if (Test-Path $JsonPath) { $Profile = 'True: Json Profile Available' } else { $Profile = 'False: Json Profile Missing' } Write-Host $Profile ​ #CheckVars ..read more

They have many, many calendars in a shared mailbox (best guesstimate of 250+ calendars) that I need to export the events from, they only need the subject, start date and end date attributes. The best progress I've made is to get a list of all the calendars in the shared mailbox from MSGraph using this endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/sharedmailbox@domain.com/calendars Then using another endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/sharedmailbox@domain.com/calendars/Calendar/eve ..read more

I need a script, if possible, that can go through a list of our desktops and servers, to see whether the account has been logged in, and even better, if its running as a service. Basic ..read more
