Hi Guy, Wondering if you can help…. im trying to parse a flexapp ini file in powershell to create a table to check if a user has the volumes mounted they should based of their AD membership.

so i want to extract the lines beginning with:
$scriptstart_filter_value_
$scriptstart_flexappdia_package_vhds_
eg:
Select-String -Pattern “^$scriptstart_flexappdia_package_vhds_” -Path “\\pathtofile\PROD_User.ini”

I think my problem here is the $ is tripping up the regex – how can i excape the $
I tried “^\\$scriptstart ….. ” but didnt work…

This was an excellent article. Reading about the instructions in pending.xml and how poqexec.exe is used during the Windows Update process helped me to be able to explain some “Critical” security logs, labeled “Deletion of Critical File,” where files like “win32k.sys” were deleted by a process called “poqexec.exe”.

After reading this article and then looking in the pending.xml and CBS.log files I was able to prove that these critical file deletions were expected behavior caused by a Windows Update.
