Format-List of Hashtable corrupts Console in PowerShell 2.0

Markus Steffen Schmidt

Given a hashtable containing one key value pair and the value contains a string with serveral hundred of newlines. If the hashtable is dumped to the console, e.g. using '$hashtable | Format-List' the console is getting corrupted. You can test, whether the console was corrupted by starting an executable like ping.exe or expand.exe. If the executable aborts immediately and it do not writes anything to the console, you have reproduced the bug.

Out-GridView - Items selection is lost when filters are used

Shay Levi

Consider this... you are piping a long list of items to Out-GridView and you want to select a subset of them. You start selecting items but the list is VERY long so you use filters (or the filter text field) to display items by certain criteria, ctrl+click to add them to what already has been selected and then remove the filter. Problem: once you filtered the list and selected new items, the previous selection is lost! This is quite frustrating and annoying. It would be nice if the selection ...

Export-DnsServerZone -Filename parameter doesn't accept literal file path.

wolffhaven45

Hi Guys, Not sure if I have stumbled on a bug or whether it's just user error :D or whether it is by design. When using the Export-DnsServerZone cmdlet, when I type in: Export-DnsServerZone -Name "mydomain.com" -Filename "exportdomain.txt" it all works. If I try to use a literal path for example: Export-DnsServerZone -Name "mydomain.com" -Filename "C:\exportdomain.txt" I get the following error: Export-DnsServerZone : Failed to export the zone content for on server

Import-Module defaults to importing modules in the Global scope

David Wyatt

This could be categorized as either a documentation bug or a code bug, depending on what the intended design is. The help file for Import-Module (for both the -Global and -Scope parameters) says that the default behavior is to import commands only into the caller's session state, but in fact, by default they are imported into the global session state. In PowerShell v2 (where the -Scope parameter was not available), this means it's not possible to import modules locally at all.

PowerShell ISE 3.0 copies script code only in RTF into the clipboard

Stefan Falk

The ISE 3.0 to copy script code as RTF is very nice. However, when we paste in WordPad, *only* RTF is offered. No copy some code from the immediate window, typically using a white font on a dark blue Background. Pasting this in WordPad pastes white font on white background. You must first paste into notepad, copy that, and then you can paste into WordPad. It would be very nice if ISE could copy both RTF and unformatted text (and, besides that, we would very much welcome WordPad having a shortcu...

The AZURE module to manage MSOL user accounts mostly works great, but does not seem to contain get-mailbox or set-mailbox... which is the only way I know to set CustomAttribute properties. This is a problem for us because we have a few thousand user accounts, and use CustomAttributes to do dynamic email distributions. Existing accounts are still working, but I am now unable to add new user accounts. Is there a workaround for this that I have not found yet? Joel.

Kirk Munro

The scenario is simple. You're dynamically building a filter, and you want to add brackets around the items in the filter.

If you try to do this in the native console, PowerShell thinks you're not done and uses line continuance to continue the command. Yet it is a ...

Provide support for cmdlets, jobs or other threads running code from different vendors to handle bad SSL certificates concurrently

Atanasov

All the .Net code executed within a PowerShell session in all its threads and uses HTTPS relies on the framework class ServicePointManager. That class is essentially a singleton. This means that cmdlets (that run in a single thread usually) need to use it cooperatively. Considering that cmdlets are from different vendors that cooperation might be impossible. In a PowerShell session there can be multiple threads - spawned manually, by a cmdlet or for a job. Those thread potentially use HTTPS and ...
