The hardest part of creating a WMI WQL event query is, well…just about everything. Creating a temporary event consumer with Windows PowerShell 2.0 is really easy, so it only makes sense to take this first step. In fact, whenever I am creating a permanent WMI event consumer, I always test it out as a temporary event consumer first. Then I will use this WQL event query tomorrow to create a permanent WMI event consumer. Today I am going to develop a WMI event query to detect newly created files in a particular folder. Note For more information about WMI event driven scripts, see An Insider’s Guide to Using WMI Events and PowerShell. Then if the files match the naming pattern discovered yesterday, rename them by using the procedure from the script I posted yesterday in Use PowerShell to Detect and Fix Files with Leading Spaces. Although running a script on demand to find and rename files in a folder might work, it would be better to use an event to monitor the folder for newly created files. Yesterday’s email from KS about his problems with files that contain leading spaces in them got me thinking. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.
Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, shows how to use Windows PowerShell to monitor for the creation of new files.
