postheadericon Powershell: Credentials in clear text

09:56 | Upplagd av Catherina | | Edit Post
With this script you send the credentials in clear text. But with this someone else can use it, like helpdesk. With password in encrypted file; no one else can use it.

 
$user = "adminuser"            
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'adminpassword' -AsPlainText -Force            
$cred = new-object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $user,$password

postheadericon Need help with output from Select-String!

13:54 | Upplagd av Catherina | | Edit Post
I have this script:

001

003
004
005
006
007
008
function isWithin([int]$days, [datetime]$Date)
{[DateTime]::Now.AddDays($days).Date -le $Date.Date}

$list = get-childitem "X:\Program Files\vizioncore\esxRanger Professional\Logs\Backup\" -recurse | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | where {isWithin -1 $_.lastwritetime}
$list
foreach ($file in $list)
{$file | Select-String -pattern "Failure"
}

It checks for the text pattern Failure in files dated today or yesterday in a specific catalog.
I get the ouput:
