OK, my good friend June said that I needed to post the code for my Arizona Coyotes countdown timer.

$formArizonaCoyotes_Load={

 

       $timer1.Interval = 1000

       $timer1.Start()

}

 

$timer1_Tick={

 

       $Date = Get-date -Year 2015 -Month 10 -Day 10 -Hour 19 -Minute 0 -Second 0

      

       $Time = $Date.Subtract((Get-Date))

      

       $Data =  "$($Time.Days):$($Time.Hours):$($Time.Minutes):$($Time.Seconds)"

       $LabelTime.Text = $Data

} 

 

That is it!.  SAPIEN PowerShell Studio 2015 writes the rest of the code for you.  Let’s take a look at a couple of key objects on the form.

Not visible on this form is another object called Timer1.  The Load event for the form runs on lines 2 – 6.  We set Timer1 to tick every 1000 milliseconds (1 second).  We then call the Start method of Timer1. 

The Tick event for the timer runs on lines 8 – 16. 

Line 11 saves the date that you are counting down to in the variable $Date.  Notice that you also need to specify the time.

Line 13 finds the difference between the current time and the one you are counting down to.  This is saved in the variable $Time.  This will create a whole new object for us to pull information from.

Line 15 creates a string from this data and stores it in the variable $Data.

Line 16 updates the LabelTime label object on the form.

As for the rest, I just used the visual programing capabilities of the PowerShell Studio to program in the colors, graphic and font size.

By
In the past, to run the GPResult command, you would need to either physically visit this client, have the user do it, or use and RDP connection.  In all cases, this will disrupt the user.  First, you need PowerShell remoting enabled on the target machine.  You can do this via Group Policy . Open PowerShell and type this command. Invoke-Command –ScriptBlock {GPResult /r} –ComputerName <ComputerName> Replace <ComputerName> with the name of the target.  Remember, the target needs to be online and accessible to you.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

By
You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping. Update Action The Update action will have a yellow triangle. Update will modify settings of an existing mapped drive for users. This action differs from Replace in that it only updates settings defined within the preference item. All other settings remain as configured on the mapped drive. If the
