    Hi,

    I have a scipt which upload the pictures in Active directory(Tumbnail attribute),i need help to make some changes in this script.

    -I don't want any option to come while running this script.Like  in this script whenever i run it ,options come

    "Warning  ## This action will upload all pictures of C:\Photos to the AD users.
     Warning  ## All pictures must have the same name of the usernames.
     Warning "Are you sure that you want upload all pictures to the users (Y/N)"

    So unless i don't hit 'y' script doesn't run.So don't want this ,script should run as soon as i run it through command line.

    Please help as i have no idea where changes should made.Sharing the script.

    Thanks as always.

    Hi,

    Change these lines:

    Write-Warning " ## This action will upload all pictures of C:\Photos to the AD users."
Write-Warning " ## All pictures must have the same name of the usernames"
Write-Warning "Are you sure that you want upload all pictures to the users (Y/N)?"
$Opt = Read-Host
If ( $Opt -eq 'y' ) { UploadAll; } Else { Write-Host "No changes were made."; Exit }

    to this:

    UploadAll

    Use caution as this bypasses the warning mechanism that the script's author created.

    HTH,

    Bill

    Hi,

    You can redirect output using a command like this:

    UploadPhoto.ps1 -all | out-file logfile.txt

    However, note that lines in the script that use Write-Host and Write-Warning will not be saved to the log file.

    Hi,

    You will need to edit the script to replace the Write-Host and Write-Warning calls with strings. That is, instead of

    Write-Host "This is a message"

    and

    Write-Warning "This is a message"

    You can use

    "This is a message"

    and

    "WARNING: This is a message"

    Hi,

    Sorry but I don't have the resources to test and debug that script for you. I recommend contacting the script's author for further assistance.

    Building on Bills earlier suggestion, you will not only have to remove the write-message and write-errors, but you will have to also remove any of the parameters, such as -foregroundcolor or -nonewline.

    Hi  bill

       good script!  

              this modify can run and don't need input "Y".  as far as know, this script should run in exchange manager shell，such as，your ps1 name is uploadphoto.ps1,   you should run command “.\uploadphoto.ps1 -all”,

             I want to know,  I want to put this ps1 into a task,  and run it automatic at 2:00 ,  what should i do?   I have USE BAT to run some script in EMS,but without " - ALL",  how can i to slove "- ALL"

    Thanks !

    I am very sorry my english!
