Check-PSSnapin allows you to check specific PowerShell Snapin on server.
I’m using this function in SetLinuxVM 3.0 to check SCVMM if it’s available on server.

# Check Powershell Snapin

function Check-PSSnapin
{
param (
    [Parameter(
        Mandatory = $true,
        HelpMessage = 'PowerShell Snapin Name. Example: Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager')]
    [string]$Name
)
 
	$Success = "1";
	$CheckSnapin = Get-PSSnapin -Name $Name -EA SilentlyContinue
	if (!$CheckSnapin)
	{
		$AddSnapin = Add-PSSnapin -Name $Name -EA SilentlyContinue
		$CheckSnapin = Get-PSSnapin -Name $Name -EA SilentlyContinue
		if (!$CheckSnapin)
		{
			Write-Debug "$Name Snapin is not available."
		}
		else
		{
			Write-Debug "$Name Snapin is added."
			$Success
		}
	}
	else
	{
		Write-Debug "$Name Snapin is already loaded."
		$Success
	}
}

You can check PS Snapin like this:

Check-PSSnapin -Name "Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager"

Name is mandatory, so you must give a name for that.

Check-WmiObject allows you to check Wmi provider/interface on given server.
I’m using this function in SetLinuxVM 3.0 to decide Hyper-V Manager.

# Check WMI Object
# Author: Yusuf Ozturk
# http://www.yusufozturk.info
 
function Check-WmiObject
{
param (
    [Parameter(
        Mandatory = $true,
        HelpMessage = 'Wmi NameSpace. Example: root\virtualization')]
    [string]$NameSpace,
 
    [Parameter(
        Mandatory = $false,
        HelpMessage = 'Name of the Wmi Host. Example: Server01')]
    [string]$WMIHost
)
 
	$Success = "1";
	if (!$WMIHost)
	{
		$CheckWmiObject = Get-WmiObject -Computer "." -Namespace "$NameSpace" -List -EA SilentlyContinue
		if (!$CheckWmiObject)
		{
			Write-Debug "Could not contact with Wmi Provider."
		}
		else
		{
			Write-Debug "Wmi Provider is available."
			$Success
		}
	}
	else
	{
		$CheckWmiObject = Get-WmiObject -Computer "$WMIHost" -Namespace "$NameSpace" -List -EA SilentlyContinue
		if (!$CheckWmiObject)
		{
			Write-Debug "Could not contact with Wmi Provider."
		}
		else
		{
			Write-Debug "Wmi Provider is available."
			$Success
		}
	}
}

You can check Wmi Provider like this:

Check-WmiObject -NameSpace "root\virtualization"

If you want to query different wmi host:

Check-WmiObject -NameSpace "root\virtualization" -WmiHost "Server01"

NameSpace is mandatory but you don’t need to type WmiHost if you query localhost.

You installed CentOS 6.2 on Hyper-V and you want to install Linux Integration Services v3.2.
Let’s read documentation and see if we can.

So let’s do it on CentOS server.

You may need to uninstall Hyper-V Linux Integration Services v3.2 due to some reasons.
Let’s read documentation and see if we can.

After my first look, i don’t see any difference between x86 and x64.
Lets check it on VM console and see if they are correct.

I wrote a calendar sync script for Outlook to sync calendars between Exchange accounts. If you need to sync your calendars, accounts should be in same Outlook profile. I didn’t figure out how to sync between different profiles yet, but will work on it.

Function Sync-OutlookCalendar 
{
	# Connect to Outlook
	$Outlook = New-Object -com Outlook.Application
	# Get Calendars
	$Calendar1 = $Outlook.Session.folders.Item(1).Folders | where {$_.DefaultMessageClass -eq "IPM.Appointment"}
	$Calendar2 = $Outlook.Session.folders.Item(2).Folders | where {$_.DefaultMessageClass -eq "IPM.Appointment"}
	# Search Calendar Items
	$Calendar1Items = $Calendar1.items | Where {$_.Start -gt (Get-Date)} | Select-Object -Property Start, End, Subject, Location, MeetingStatus
	# Sync All: $Calendar1Items = $Calendar1.items | Select-Object -Property Start, End, Subject, Location, MeetingStatus
	# Sync Calendar Items
	Foreach ($Calendar1Item in $Calendar1Items)
	{
		$SearchDuplicate = $Calendar2.items | Where {$_.Start -eq $Calendar1Item.Start -and $_.End -eq $Calendar1Item.End -and $_.Subject -eq $Calendar1Item.Subject} | Select-Object -Property Start, End, Subject, Location, MeetingStatus
		if ($SearchDuplicate -eq $null)
		{
			$Appointment = $Calendar2.Items.Add(1)
			$Appointment.Start = $Calendar1Item.Start
			$Appointment.End = $Calendar1Item.End
			$Appointment.Subject = $Calendar1Item.Subject
			$Appointment.Location = $Calendar1Item.Location
			$Appointment.MeetingStatus = $Calendar1Item.MeetingStatus
			$Appointment.Save()
		}
		else
		{
			Write-Host "Appointment is already exist"
		}
	}
}

Every time you execute the script, it checks the duplicate entries. So you can’t sync if same appointment is also exist on other calendar. Also I thought to sync only new appointments, so there is a date checker too. You can change it if you want to sync all time appointments.

  For the effort of my last year, I’m honored by Microsoft as Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in PowerShell category. Thanks to Microsoft! I’m very glad and will work hard to be a MVP again. As a PowerShell MVP, started to work on new projects called PoSH Server, PoSH Panel, PoSH API and other secret projects :) PoSH Server is in preview, you can download it from http://www.poshserver.net and use it free.
