AWS PowerShell check if tag exist

How to check if a Tag exist on an instance?

How to change the value of the tag, if tag exist?

Code below shows how to check tags on AWS instances using PowerShell.

 

The script will also check if the tag exists and change the value to a different value.

Sample scenario where the script can be used: Example: the tag can be "Web_Server", Value "In Progress"

Then once the instance is ready, the tag can be changed to "Web_Server", Value "Online"

 

$accesskey = 'AWS-Access-Key'

$secretkey = 'AWS-Secret-Key'

$dregion =  'eu-west-1' #change the region as required

 

#instances to be checked

#repace the value with the actual instance-id

$array_prefix_instanceID = @(

"i-04e5er7ac566vc8",

"i-0c3c3cerbc3165685vc",

"i-0ecc355gf0aa5758g"

)

 

#Assume value of the tag

#Change as required / script will look for the value Yes

$value="Yes"

 

#Tag to look for is: "Client_Web_Server"

 

for ($i=0; $i -lt 3; $i++) {

$get_d_tag = Get-EC2Tag -AccessKey $accesskey  -secretkey $secretkey -Region $dregion | ? { $_.ResourceID -eq $array_prefix_instanceID[$i] -and $_.Key -eq 'Client_Web_Server' }

$the_tag_length= $get_d_tag.length

 

#uncomment below if you need to see the output

#if the output is 0 (number zero) the Tag "Client_Web_Server" is missing or cannot be found

#write-host $the_tag_length

 

if ( "$the_tag_length" -eq 0) {

#uncomment below if you need to see the output

#write-host "Nothing"

 

#set the key or tag to be checked

$Tags = @( @{key="Client_Web_Server";value=$Value})

 

#Code below will create the tag

New-EC2Tag -AccessKey $accesskey -SecretKey $secretkey -Region $dregion -ResourceId $array_prefix_instanceID[$i] -Tags $Tags

 

} elseif ("$the_tag_length" -ne 0) {

    

    $instanceid = $_.ResourceID -eq $array_prefix_instanceID[$i]

 

    #Tag exist but need to check what is the value

    $tagvalue = (Get-EC2Tag -AccessKey $accesskey  -secretkey $secretkey -Region $dregion | ? { $_.ResourceID -eq $array_prefix_instanceID[$i] -and $_.Key -eq 'Client_Web_Server' }).Value

    #change the value to lower caps  for comparing purposes

    $tagvalue = "$tagvalue".ToLower()

 

    #change the value as required

    #if ("$tagvalue" -eq  "no" -or "false")

    if ("$tagvalue" -ne  "yes")

     {

 

     #Change the value of the tag to "Yes" / change as required

     $Tags = @( @{key="Client_Web_Server";value=$Value})

     New-EC2Tag -AccessKey $accesskey -SecretKey $secretkey -Region $dregion -ResourceId $array_prefix_instanceID[$i] -Tags $Tags

 

     #create a copy of the instances that the value has been changed

      write-output $array_prefix_instanceID[$i] >> c:\change_logs\client_server_monitoring_set.txt

      }

 }

}

Cheers. Till next time.

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...
