Example text
Always remember that the names for properties you see in GUI tools might not be the same as what you see in the attribute editor. For example, the First Name field you see in GUI is translated to givenName in the attribute editor. Similar to the GUI approach, we can search for a user object and list its attributes using PowerShell. The Get-ADUser cmdlet can be used for this: Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -eq "ChrisB" } This will return the user object with the Name attribute having the value ChrisB.
The following command can be used to disable a single user account: Disable-ADAccount -Identity ChrisB -Passthru The -PassThru parameter is used to return the object after the completion of the operation. Also it is useful to know the disable status if you want to perform further actions on this object. You can disable users in a particular OU. The following command will return all users objects under LAB OU and its sub OUs: Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=LAB,DC=techibee,DC=AD" -Filter * | Disable-ADAccount To limit the search scope to the current OU, use the -SearchScope parameter.
Group object information is the display name of the group, description, group type, and so on. Modifying the membership of the groups doesn't fall within the scope of this chapter. The next chapter will talk in detail about membership modification. The following command will help in adding a description to the group objects. The Get-ADGroup cmdlet will query Active Directory based on the provided filters and the results are passed to the Set-ADGroup cmdlet so that it can set the description to a defined string: Get-ADGroup -Filter {Name -eq "TestGroup" } | Set-ADGroup Description "This Group Created for testing purpose only" If you want to update the description for all groups that have Test in their name, then the following command can be used: Get-ADGroup -Filter {Name -like "*Test*" } | Set-ADGroup Description "This Group is created for testing purpose" Similarly, GroupScope can be changed using the Set-ADGroup cmdlet, as shown in the following command: Get-ADGroup -Filter {Name -eq "TestGroup" } | Set-ADGroup -GroupScope DomainLocal To see the current scope, and the group category of the group, you can use the following command: Get-ADGroup -Identity TestGroup | select Name, GroupCategory, GroupScope The output will look like the following screenshot: [ 46 ] Chapter 3 Also, the group type (security/distribution) can be changed by passing the required type to the -GroupCategory parameter of the Set-ADGroup cmdlet, as shown in the following command: Get-ADGroup -Filter {Name -like "*Test*" } GroupCategory Distribution | Set-ADGroup - Groups can be configured as e-mail-enabled security groups, which helps in both sending e-mails and granting security permissions.
