If you have to create multiple shares for an Azure files instance as part of a migration or new deployment it can be very time consuming. With this script you put the name of the shares in a txt file called "shares.txt" and it will loop through and create them all and assign them to the hot tier. <# .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This script creates shares from a txt file in Azure and set's their access tier .EXAMPLE .OUTPUTS .NOTES #> # CONFIG START $file = Get-Content -Path "shares.txt" $accessTier = "Hot" $tenant = "<tenant id>" $subscription = "<subscription id>" $resourceGroupName = "<resource group>" $storageAccountName = "<storage account name>" # CONFIG END # CONNECT TO AZURE Connect-AzAccount -Tenant $tenant -SubscriptionId $subscription # GET STORAGE KEY $storageKey = (Get-AzStorageAccountKey ` -ResourceGroupName $resour...

This script is used to apply tags as per a csv file. Tags will be applied in uppercase. If a resource group is present in the csv but not in Azure it will be skipped.

You have to run the gxhsmutility to scan the files to check if any stub files remain, if there is it outputs what is called a map file, you then run the restore again pointing to said map file. The problem with this was that if the map file was over 100,000 lines the recovery would just crash, so I wrote this to split the map file out in to multiple map files I could then use to recover the data. <### .SYNOPSIS Created by James Lambert www.roonics.com .DESCRIPTION This script will get a list of all files in the "Files_to_split folder" then loop through each file and split every XXX numbers of lines (set in the config) .EXAMPLE .OUTPUTS .NOTES ###> ### Config $FilesToSplitDir = "Files_to_split\" $SplitFilesDir = "Split_files\" $SplitFileLines = 100000 $padding = " " cls ### Check if source folder is present if (!(Test-Path ...
