This one is from Aaron Nelson aka SQLVariant:
I have a PowerShell question for you gurus. I know precisely how to do this in SQL, but I’m only kinda-sure how to do this in PowerShell.
My question is how do you contain an OR to only a certain portion of a Where-Object? In SQL all you have to do is put parens around the clauses and that will make their results act as one ‘where’ clause. In PowerShell all I could think to do is to break it up into multiple Where-Object statements. There has to be a better way to do this right?
SQL Example:
WHERE (NAME LIKE ‘%SQL%’
OR NAME LIKE ‘Reporting%’)
AND StartMode = ‘Auto’
AND Started != ‘True’
PowerShell Example (that doesn’t work)
Get-WmiObject win32_service -ComputerName AARON |
Where {$_.name -match “^*SQL*” -or $_.name -match “Report”} |
Where {$_.StartMode -eq “Auto” -and $_.Started -ne “True”} |
Select SystemName, Name, StartName, Started, StartMode | Ft -a
Review the Operator Precedence help page, you’ll see that -and -or are near the bottom, so you need parentheses to make this work. For example:
get-stuff | ? { ($_ -gt $x) -and ($_ -ne $y) }
On this week’s show (3/31/11 @ 9:30pm EST right here on Ustream!), we’ll be talking to Chris Harris from Microsoft about the release of System Center Operations Manager 2012!

The 2011 Scripting Games begin on April 4, 2011 and run through April 15, 2011. What is the Scripting Games, you may ask? Well simply put, the Scripting Games are the premier learning event of the year for IT Pro’s and others who wish to master Windows PowerShell. Comprising 10 events, a registered contestant has seven days to create a solution to a scenario driven problem and post their code to a MVP maintained script repository for evaluation by a panel of internationally recognized judges. Daily leaderboards and prize drawings help to maintain the suspense throughout the two-week international event.
During the 2011 Scripting Games hundreds of contestants will submit thousands of scripts that will be reviewed by dozens of judges. Hundreds of thousands of spectators from all around the world will view the games themselves. Last year, participants from more than 100 countries participated in the Scripting Games. With an emphasis on real world scripting scenarios and problems, the scripts will be of immediate value to both the participants and to the spectators.
Preparation for the 2011 Scripting Games is already underway, with a learning guide, step-by-step tutorials, videos and other resources being generated on a daily basis. The 2011 Scripting Games all in one page is the portal for the games themselves. The 2010 Scripting Games all in one page is still available, as are the events from the 2009 Scripting Games.

Hi everyone. We just wanted to let you know what our show schedule will be like for the next couple of weeks. There won’t be a live show this week or next (2/24, 3/3). However—we will be releasing shows! Hal will be at the Microsoft MVP Summit next week and will be bringing recording gear. Yes, that’s right, Hal and a bunch of other like-minded geeks in the same room talking about PowerShell.
No absolute promises on timetable or topics, but at the very least, we hope to record:
Watch the website, rss, and Twitter IDs @halr9000, @jonwalz, and @powerscripting for the latest!
