Font Colors Options in Word with PowerShell

To change the color of the font you are using in Word when executing a PowerShell script, you simply need to execute this commend:

$objSelection.Font.Color = "WDColorDarkBlue"

This command will turn the text Dark Blue.  Here is the full script code:

$objWord = New-Object -comobject Word.Application
$objWord.Caption = "SvcHost Usage Report"
$objWord.Visible = $True
$objDoc = $objWord.Documents.Add()
$objSelection = $objWord.Selection
$objSelection.Font.Name = "Arial"
$objSelection.Font.Size = "18"
$objSelection.Font.Color = "WDColorDarkBlue"
$objSelection.TypeText("MCTExpert, Inc.")


Here is a list of possible color choices for your fonts when using a PowerShell script to write content to Microsoft Word.

Adding a Comment to a GPO with PowerShell

As I'm writing this article, I'm also writing a customization for a PowerShell course I'm teaching next week in Phoenix.  This customization deals with Group Policy and PowerShell.  For those of you who attend my classes may already know this, but I sit their and try to ask the questions to myself that others may ask as I present the material.  I finished up my customization a few hours ago and then I realized that I did not add in how to put a comment on a GPO.  This is a feature that many Group Policy Administrators may not be aware of. This past summer I attended a presentation at TechEd on Group Policy.  One organization in the crowd had over 5,000 Group Policies.  In an environment like that, the comment section can be priceless.  I always like to write in the comment section why I created the policy so I know its purpose next week after I've completed 50 other tasks and can't remember what I did 5 minutes ago.

Return duplicate values from a collection with PowerShell

( Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $Set2 -DifferenceObject $Set1 ) . InputObject | Select-Object – Unique 1 2 This works with objects as well as numbers.  The first command creates a collection with 2 duplicates of both 1 and 2.   The second command creates another collection with the duplicates filtered out.  The Compare-Object cmdlet will first find items that are diffe
