It’s very very rough, just thrown together over the course of a few hours to make this blog post happen, so please don’t there are bugs, and there’s no error handling, etc, I know.

With that in mind, the entire demo app is pasted below as a script. I export the script, set my break points in Powershell ISE, and I can debug on the clients machines using only the tools freely available on any Windows Server.

The reason this can be nice is if there are bugs with the program, I don’t have to install the entire Powershell Studio on a client machine to debug. One of the advantages to using Powershell studio forms apps like this is that it allows me to export the entire app not as an executable finished product, but just as a big long script. In the real version the process of just finding the list of servers and spinning off the jobs can take a noticeable amount of time, so really the entire operation should be in the background, but for a demo, just spinning off the remote portion makes it easier to follow what’s happening.

The code in Validate-TextBox is as follows: function Verify-ADObject Powershell Studio knows it, so when auto complete comes up, it only shows me the variables of the correct type. The function Validate-Textbox was defined with a parameter of type. One of the cool things about Powershell Studio is how the really great auto complete incentivises you to write good code.

To keep things neat, the code is factored out into a function and I simply pass the textbox, since both boxes need to run the same check when the Leave event fires. In the background, when Powershell Studio builds the app, it ensures that code is executed when that event is fired just as the name implies. If you’re familiar with Powershell syntax you will recognize a variable with a code block. When you click ok you get a code block for the object’s event handler. In this screenshot we are adding an event handler to the lower text box. That is going to be the name of a variable created by the Studio to reference that text box. Notice on the right side the name says textBoxSQLAccount. Before the machines are tested I use the app to ensure that the Active Directory accounts we asked for have been created. In the tab you see here I have a couple text boxes for Active Directory account names. The app consists of a main form, a tab control with tabs for the stages of testing, with sub controls for data. In the screenshot above you can see the design view for the app. Why Powershell StudioĪs we will see shortly, Powershell studio is a good solution for this because it allows you take advantage of the convenience of Powershell for administering servers, while also taking advantage of event based programming and easily wrapping scripts in a GUI that suits the needs of slightly less technical users.

The app I wrote is dropped onto a single server in the environment, and when provided a list of servers to test, invokes a series of remote jobs that instruct each box to test itself for correct state and report back the results.

Since we use Puppet for configuration management, it’s important to verify that servers are in the correct state before we accept them. We provide the client with a detailed spec of what we would like the servers they give us to look like, but it is very common for servers to be just a little bit wrong.

The company I work for installs software inside their clients’ networks. I responded, but I thought it really deserved a blog post to talk about the app and the kinds of things you can do with it. I was on Twitter the other day and saw that tweeted asking people to talk about things they had built with Powershell Studio. Event Driven App with Sapien Powershell Studio Mar 6, 2016
