PowerShell Out-Grid.ps1

NOTE – PowerShell 2.0 now includes the “Out-GridView” cmdlet which removes the need for this custom .PS1 script built for PowerShell 1.0

The current release of PowerShell V1.0 does not ship with any GUI tools.    V2.0 CTP3 comes with a scripting IDE and the Out-GridView cmdlet to help with adoption and ease of use.I personally find the Out-Grid.ps1 script very handy and copy to servers whenever I want to do heavy PowerShell work.   Check it out below.

If you see an error stating that “the execution of scripts is disabled on this system” then you’ll want to run “set-executionpolicy unrestricted”

_WPQ_ with Javascript for dynamic lookup

If you’re using the trusty CEWP (Content Editor Web Part) to locate the current web part frame on a page you’ll want to consider using the “_WPQ” expression instead of hard coding a number.    Using the Internet Explorer Developer toolbar or Firebug toolbar is a great way to locate <DIV> tags and “ID=” attributes with a single click.

However, don’t be tempted to code in the number.    As you re-order web parts they will changes.    If you add more than one CEWP (export/import) the others will fail.    Use a dynamic token for maximum flexibility.

SharePoint’s rendering engine does a search replace on “_WPQ_” to give it the number of that web part on the page.   It’s a great way to avoid naming conflicts and a trick I’ve used to apply multiple JQuery driven CEWP on the same page.

FREE AntiVirus for Windows Server 2008

Today I learned of two FREE programs that could help cover my laptop.   In the virus and malware marketplace I’ve long believe more than one tool (and vendor) is needed to stay safe.   There are just too many angles of attack with new one coming up all the time.   Staying current on patches is a great idea.    It’s a good foundation, but you also need active scanning tools.

Here are two programs to consider.   I run ClamWin and have been very happy with it.    Then just add Windows Defender for malware and Windows Update for patches to keep your machine safe.   Learn more about safe computing practices at http://www.onguardonline.gov/
