I have a script that perform an inventory of services and saves the info to a csv file (see portion below). Later, I wish to refresh the machine with the startup type of each service as it existed in my inventory. This is my new script. The problem is that I keep getting:
cmdlet Set-Service at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Name:
as the output in the window. What needs to be changed in order for the script to go thru.
Here is the new script,
$Path=“$env:userprofile\My Documents\Serverinfo\Services\zxxp73zrcs1-ServicesInventory.csv”
$ServiceHashTable=@{}
#Take only two important columns from the CSV file and rename the columns
$Temp=Import-CSV $Path|Select @{Name=“ServiceName”;Expression={$.name}},@{Name=“startuptype”;Expression={$.startmode}}
#Now, populate the hash
foreach ($row in $Temp) {$ServiceHashTable[$row.ServiceName]=$row.startuptype}
#Gather the inventory and state of services running now on the system
$Services=Get-Service -ComputerName “zxxp73zrcs1”
#Reset each startuptype to what was previously set in CSV file
foreach ($service in $Services) {
if ($ServiceHashTable.ContainsKey($service.name)) {
Set-Service -ComputerName “zxxp73zrcs1” -startuptype $ServiceHashTable.Get_Item($service.name)
} #end if statement
} #end foreach statement
The CSV file from the old script looks like,
systemname name displayname startmode state
ZXXP73ZRCS1 AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc Adobe Flash Player Update Service Manual Stopped
ZXXP73ZRCS1 Alerter Alerter Disabled Stopped
ZXXP73ZRCS1 ALG Application Layer Gateway Service Manual Stopped
ZXXP73ZRCS1 AppMgmt Application Management Manual Stopped
ZXXP73ZRCS1 aspnet_state ASP.NET State Service Manual Stopped
Why Use the extra hash Table ?
Import-CSV is already coverting it to a psobject.
By the way the solution to your problem is that Set-Service Expects the Service Name as mandatory Parameter.
Set-Service -Name $service.name -ComputerName “zxxp73zrcs1″ -startuptype $ServiceHashTable.Get_Item($service.name)
This should fix it.
Your suggestion did the trick, thank you.
The $Temp was needed as an intermediary. When I tried to import the info directly to $ServiceHashTable, I no longer had the methods associated with a hash.
