Running a powershell command within a batch file -


i trying create active directory security groups using new-adgroup need able execute these within batch file. goal have script prompt user running enter ou , branch prefix used in front of group name.

i started working powershell i'm still not 100% on when use different brackets , quotes , suspect issue.

this original code:

set /p ou=enter ou: set /p prefix=enter prefix: powershell new-adgroup -name “%prefix%-owa test” -samaccountname “%prefix%-owa test” -groupcategory security -groupscope global -path "ou=groups,ou=%ou%,ou=test1,dc=test2,dc=test3,dc=test4,dc=com”

i able execute command inside powershell within batch file causing problem. tried removing variables equation , executed following:

powershell new-adgroup -name "orf-owa test" -samaccountname "orf-owa test" -groupcategory security -groupscope global -path "ou=groups,ou=branch1,ou=test1,dc=test2,dc=test3,dc=test4,dc=com”

i receive following error in both cases: 

new-adgroup : cannot convert 'system.object[]' type 'system.string' required parameter 'path'. specified method not supported. @ line:1 char:110 + ... e global -path ou=groups,ou=branch1 ,ou=test,dc=test1,dc=test2,dc=test3,dc=com -des ... +                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : invalidargument: (:) [new-adgroup], parameterbin    dingexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : cannotconvertargument,microsoft.activedirectory.    management.commands.newadgroup

the way read wrong "path" parameter i'm not sure why is successful in powershell not cmd prompt or bat file.

any suggestions appreciated.

when working powershell inside batch file, have remember line parsed twice. first cmd , powershell. personal rules when doing to

  1. use single quotation marks powershell when used in batch or on command line.
  2. enclose entire powershell command in double quotations if containing special characters

example: single quotations:

powershell new-adgroup -name '%prefix%-owa test' -samaccountname '%prefix%-owa test' -groupcategory security -groupscope global -path 'ou=groups,ou=%ou%,ou=test1,dc=test2,dc=test3,dc=test4,dc=com'

example: explicit command, scoped, , enclosed in double quotations:

powershell -command "&{new-adgroup -name '%prefix%-owa test' -samaccountname '%prefix%-owa test' -groupcategory security -groupscope global -path 'ou=groups,ou=%ou%,ou=test1,dc=test2,dc=test3,dc=test4,dc=com'}"

i did not have time test whether these work, give em try ;) illustration of working command (note requires 2 input variables), here 1 of batch powershell commands use:

powershell -command "&{$nlm = [activator]::createinstance([type]::gettypefromclsid([guid]'{dcb00c01-570f-4a9b-8d69-199fdba5723b}')); $connections = $nlm.getnetworkconnections(); $connections | foreach { if ($_.getnetwork().getcategory() -eq %filter%) { $_.getnetwork().setcategory(%category%); } }; }"

opencv - DataType<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth what is it used for -

i wondering why line used in lucas kanade tracker in opencv: datatype<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth can explain me? in opencv, depth of mat refers type of data contained in mat 's data buffer. represented integer values correspond given data type. these integers commonly abstracted appropriate macro definition (e.g. uchar data represented macro cv_8u ). cv::datatype type-traits class provides method obtain corresponding integer value without having memorize macro means data type. there few cases user code needs use datatype::depth . more common datatype::type . a simple example shows 1 possible use of datatype::depth : cv::mat uchar_data = cv::mat::ones(3, 3, cv_8uc1); cv::mat float_data; uchar_data.convertto(float_data, cv::datatype<float>::depth); // ^^ equivalently replaced // cv_32f macro float_data.at<float>(0,1) += 0.5f; std::cout << float_data << std::endl;...
