Powershell Script to obtain current members of a Group

Good morning.  Sorry for my English.
I would like to change the answer obtained by a script.
Today the scrip that I have, give me the following response:
Server 1              
Group 1               
User  1 User 2 User  3
Server 2              
Group 1               
User  1 User 2 User  3
I need the answer is something like:
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 1
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 2 
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 3
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 1
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 2 
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 3 ...Etc
What change I had to do in the script below to that he gave me this level of response? 
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Result = @()
foreach($server in (gc .\servers.txt)){
$computer = [ADSI](”WinNT://” + $server + “,computer”)
$Group = $computer.psbase.children.find(”Remote Desktop Users”)
$a=getAdmins
function getAdmins
{$members = ($Group.psbase.invoke(”Members”) | %{$_.GetType().InvokeMember(”Adspath”, ‘GetProperty’, $null, $_, $null)}) -replace ('WinNT://DOMAIN/' + $server + '/'), '' -replace ('WinNT://DOMAIN/', 'DOMAIN\') -replace ('WinNT://', '')
$members}
$Result += Write-Output "SERVER: $server $a"
$Result > C:\Groups\RemoteDesktopUsers.txt
Grateful.

Hi,
So, there is a way from a script to obtain from a list of servers in a *.txt  the users and groups from the groups Remote Desktop Users or Domain Admins?
I need the answer is something like:
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 1
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 2 
Server 1              
Group 1                              User
 3
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 1
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 2 
Server 2              
Group 1                              User
 3 ...Etc
Grateful.

  • Powershell script to Get members of AD group members with first, last, email address

    I'm running a powershell script to retrieve AD users from a specific AD group and pipe specific attributes to a csv file. The script is working perfectly except for one detail. I want the script to ignore any users who have a null value in any of the values
    I'm piping to the spreadsheet. Meaning that if any of the users found in the queried groups have a null value in the attributes givenname, sn or mail, ignore the user and do not pipe to the csv.
    Get-ADGroupMember -identity adgroup -recursive | get-adobject -Properties givenname,sn,mail | select givenname,sn,mail |export-csv -path c:\powershell\groupmembers.csv
    –NoTypeInformation

    Hi,
    You can pipe your user objects through ForEach-Object and then use if to verify all three properties exist. If so, output the object. If not, move to the next object. After you've processed all user objects, then pipe into Export-Csv.
    EDIT: See below.

    Hi Ritehere,
    I know this is simple but am beginner in Powershell Script so I was looking for logic to go through however the output you provided is not what i am looking for and your script is too complicated, as under timestamp i wanted display value and correspoding
    to display value the OID name and then name value correspoding to that OID. May be u got it wrong.
    Thanks anyways.

  • Trying to deploy a batch or powershell script unsuccessful

    I've deployed a .cmd file out that contains a WMI script to uninstall all instances of an application called "VirtViewer". The script looks like this:
    taskkill /F /IM remote-viewer.exe /T
    wmic product where "name like 'VirtViewer%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
    exit /B %EXIT_CODE%
    Previously, I had used MSI product codes for the uninstall, and got the same result. My original problem, is that there are currently 9 different versions of this app out there, so i am ripping them all out and replacing with 1 version. Installing over an
    old version does not overwrite the older one, it instead installs a new instance.
    Reading through the execmgr.log on the client, everything looks as it should.
    The end result, is that nothing happens. I had originally set the program to run as hidden, but then changed it to normal but still do not see it run. The application is right where i left it, untouched. If i run the script locally it works fine, but not
    when deployed. Am i missing something??

    I just tried using powershell to accomplish the same task, and got the same result. Script ran fine, but nothing resulted. 0 errors in the execmgr.log on the client.
    Program options:
    Command Line: Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -file .\VirtUninstall.ps1
    the powershell script looks like this:
    $app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "VirtViewer*"}
    $app.Uninstall()
    exit /B
    Again, the script runs great when launched locally, but not wehen deployed

  • How to Read the "text file and csv file" through powershell Scripts

    Hi All
    i need to add a multiple users in a particular Group through powershell Script how to read the text and CSV files in powershell
    am completly new to Powershell scripts any one pls respond ASAP.with step by step process pls
    Regards:
    Rajeshreddy.k

    Hi Rajeshreddy.k,
    To add multiple users to one group, I wouldn't use a .csv file since the only value you need from a list is the users to be added.
    To start create a list of users that should be added to the group, import this list in a variable called $users, the group distinguishedName in a variable called $Group and simply call the ActiveDirectory cmdlet Add-GroupMember.
    $Users = Get-Content -Path 'C:\ListOfUsernames.txt'
    $Group = 'CN=MyGroup,OU=MyOrg,DC=domain,DC=lcl'
    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $Group -Members $Users

  • Trouble adding leading zeros to numbers in PowerShell script

    I am new to PowerShell scripting (so have mercy on me please!), and I'm trying to write a script that takes simplified, menu-based user input to create a folder on the network named based on a month number and the year. The month must be expressed as a two-digit
    number, but I'm trying to make it simple enough that the user only needs to input a one-digit number (for the first nine months of the year) and have the script add the leading zero (for example, if a user inputs the number "2" for February, the
    script will output "02").
    Here is a portion of my script:
    # Get current year
    $year = Get-Date -Format yyyy
    # Provide menu of months for user to choose from
    Write-Host "Choose the name of the month for the folder you want to create."
    Write-Host "1. January"
    Write-Host "2. February"
    Write-Host "3. March"
    Write-Host "4. April"
    Write-Host "5. May"
    Write-Host "6. June"
    Write-Host "7. July"
    Write-Host "8. August"
    Write-Host "9. September"
    Write-Host "10. October"
    Write-Host "11. November"
    Write-Host "12. December"
    Write-Host " "
    Do {
    $mNum = Read-Host "Select the number of the month (1 - 12): "
    # Convert the menu item to the month name
    switch ($mNum)
    1 {$month = "January"}
    2 {$month = "February"}
    3 {$month = "March"}
    4 {$month = "April"}
    5 {$month = "May"}
    6 {$month = "June"}
    7 {$month = "July"}
    8 {$month = "August"}
    9 {$month = "September"}
    10 {$month = "October"}
    11 {$month = "November"}
    12 {$month = "December"}
    default {"Invalid entry. Please select a number from 1 - 12 (without the trailing period)."}
    # Validate user input. Current code is cumbersome; try to find more elegant method.
    While ($mNum -ne 1 -and $mNum -ne 2 -and $mNum -ne 3 -and $mNum -ne 4 -and $mNum -ne 5 -and `
    $mNum -ne 6 -and $mNum -ne 7 -and $mNum -ne 8 -and $mNum -ne 9 -and $mNum -ne 10 -and `
    $mNum -ne 11 -and $mNum -ne 12)
    # Add leading zeros to month number
    $fNum = "{0:D2}" -f $mNum
    Write-Host $fNum
    When I run it, I don't get the leading zero. However, when I create a very basic script, it seems to work:
    $mNum = 3
    $fNum = "{0:D2}" -f $mNum
    Write-Host $fNum
    Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
    Also, if anyone has a suggestion on how to better validate the user input (making sure they enter a number between 1 and 12), I would appreciate that as well.

    .NET formatting is a complicated subject
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26etazsy(v=vs.110).aspx#FormatStrings
    I'm not sure how all that documentation applies when you attempt to format a value that is already a string.
    In general, formatting is described as "Formatting is the process of converting an instance of a class,
    structure, or enumeration value to its string representation".  If it is already a string I'm not sure what to expect.
    For example,
    <# C: #> '3',3,'03',03,'003',003 | % { "{0:D2}" -f $_ }
    3
    03
    03
    03
    003
    03
    <# C: #>

    I have some experience writing Powershell scripts,but I am lost at how this script prompts for Source and Destination paths. I tried modifying the Param section, but this didnt work and up until now I thought the only way you could get a prompt was with
    "read-host". Any and all education on this matter would be greatly appreciated. (Side note: I have posted this question  on the forum in which I found it and have not got an answer yet).

    Hi Ryan Blaeholder,
    Thanks for your posting.
    To schedule a powershell script with input value, instead of modifying the script above, you can also try to add the input during creating a scheduled task like this:(save the script above as D:\backup.ps1)
    -command "& 'D:\backup.ps1' 'input1' 'input2'"
    For more detailed information, please refer to this article to complete:

    I hope this helps.

  • PowerShell script : Directory object not found error in Get-ADGroupMember

    I am new in powershell scripting. I am writing a script to add users in different AD Groups. while doing so I do the following:
    Check if the user already exist in the group:
    $mbr_exist = Get-ADGroupMember $grpname | Where-Object {$_.SamAccountName -eq $sam}
    If user does not exist then add the user to the group.
    When I manually run the script its runs flawless, without any errors. But when I schedule the script to run it gives an error as follows:
    3/30/2015 8:32:15 AM Directory object not foundAt + $mbr_exist = Get-ADGroupMember $grpname | Where-Object {$_.SamAc ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Error at Line:$mbr_exist = Get-ADGroupMember
    $grpname | Where-Object {$_.SamAccountName -eq $sam}
    The strange thing is the user for which it throws the error is present in the group.I am not sure why this error is occurring when scheduled. Can any one please help? All the suggestions will be appreciated
    Note: (The script is scheduled using Windows Task Scheduler)

    Hi mdkelly, Sorry for such a late reply (due to credential issues).
    I am using Windows task scheduler to schedule the task. I am given the administrator access to the server (Windows Server 2012). So I think I set to run the script under system account.
    My apologies for asking this, am I missing something while scheduling the script through task scheduler?  how to check if the scheduled task is running under who's credentials? How to pass my (admin) credentials, so that the script execution won't face
    a problem? Any suggestion on the above questions will be helpful. (I tried to search on net for the questions but didn't get any conclusive answers)  
    Thanks in advance.

  • Powershell script to update mailbox search

    I am trying to update a mailbox search using a powershell script:
    Stop-MailboxSearch -Identity "LitHolds" -confirm:$false
    $members = (import-csv -Path "Path"| ForEach-Object{$_.SamAccountName})
    foreach ($user in $members)
    Set-MailboxSearch -Identity "LitHolds" -SourceMailboxes $user.samaccountname
    Start-MailboxSearch -Identity "LitHolds" -confirm:$false
    I essentially have our sysadmins populating a csv file and then they run this script manually every night with the latest updates.  They are telling me that the mailbox search is empty.
    When I run the script I am getting a watson error immediately after with the following:
    WARNING: An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: Value cannot be null.
    Parameter name: legacyDN
    Value cannot be null.
    Parameter name: legacyDN
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Stop-MailboxSearch], ArgumentNullException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentNullException,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Tasks.StopMailboxSearch
        + PSComputerName        : Exchange Server Name
    What I don't understand is why it's looking for a legacyDN??
    Anyone able to do something similar?
    Chuck

    Hi Chuck,
    I would like to verify if you have a legacy Exchange.
    The LegacyDN property indicates the legacyDN of the mailbox and matches the legacyExchangeDN attribute of the user object in  Microsoft Active Directory.
    If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Best regards,

  • Calling powershell script from a batch file

    Hello All,
    I have a batch script that calls a powershell script. Before calling the script I set the execution policy to unrestricted, but when it gets to the line that calls the batch script i still get the confirmation in the command window: "Do you want to
    perform this operation" I then have to press Y for the PS script to run and then my batch script finishes.
    Does anyone know the setting I need to change in order to suppress the confirmation?
    Note: this is Windows 8, see code below
    set THIS_DIR=%~dp0
    powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
    powershell %THIS_DIR%MyScript.ps1 "param1"

    I may sound like a jerk but you really want to look at PowerShell.exe /?

    PowerShell[.exe] -Help | -? | /?
    -PSConsoleFile
        Loads the specified Windows PowerShell console file. To create a console
        file, use Export-Console in Windows PowerShell.
    -Version
        Starts the specified version of Windows PowerShell.
        Enter a version number with the parameter, such as "-version 2.0".
    -NoLogo
        Hides the copyright banner at startup.
    -NoExit
        Does not exit after running startup commands.
    -Sta
        Starts the shell using a single-threaded apartment.
        Single-threaded apartment (STA) is the default.
    -Mta
        Start the shell using a multithreaded apartment.
    -NoProfile
        Does not load the Windows PowerShell profile.
    -NonInteractive
        Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.
    -InputFormat
        Describes the format of data sent to Windows PowerShell. Valid values are
        "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
    -OutputFormat
        Determines how output from Windows PowerShell is formatted. Valid values
        are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
    -WindowStyle
        Sets the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.
    -EncodedCommand
        Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter
        to submit commands to Windows PowerShell that require complex quotation
        marks or curly braces.
    -File
        Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the
        functions and variables that the script creates are available in the
        current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters.
        File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters
        typed after the File parameter name are interpreted
        as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
    -ExecutionPolicy
        Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it
        in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
        This parameter does not change the Windows PowerShell execution policy
        that is set in the registry.
    -Command
        Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were
        typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless
        NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string. or a
        script block.
        If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard
        input.
        If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed
        in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell.exe
        in Windows PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the
        parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.
        If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter
        in the command , because any characters typed after the command are
        interpreted as the command arguments.
        To write a string that runs a Windows PowerShell command, use the format:
            "& {<command>}"
        where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&)
        causes the command to be executed.
    -Help, -?, /?
        Shows this message. If you are typing a PowerShell.exe command in Windows
        PowerShell, prepend the command parameters with a hyphen (-), not a forward
        slash (/). You can use either a hyphen or forward slash in Cmd.exe.
    Hope that helps! Jason

  • Powershell Script to Enable and Disable SharePoint list versioning

    Hi,
    We have a Sharepoint list with a date and time field named 'Today' which we update overnight
    via PowerShell script to give the current date and this recalculates other calculated fields
    in the list.
    All is fine but we have versioning enabled on the list and so we get a new version created everyday.
    Is there a way to disable the versioning prior to running the update and then re-enable
    after?
    This is the script
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
    Start-SPAssignment -Global
    $SPWeb = Get-SPWeb "<SharePointSiteUrl>"
    $List = $SPWeb.Lists["ListName"]
    $Items = $List.Items
    foreach ($item in $items)
     $modifiedBy = $item["Editor"]
     $modified = $item["Modified"]
     $item["Today"] = Get-Date
     $item["Editor"] = $modifiedBy
     $item["Modified"] = $modified
     $item.Update()
     $list.Update()
    $SPWeb.Dispose()
    Stop-SPAssignment -Global  

    Hi
    Here is a quick powershell script to iterate a site collection and remove versioning on all list of base-type Document Library. Also the iteration removes all the current versions of list items. Great for freeing up space and also to make publishing sites
    a little more easy to manage content for trusted content approvers!
    Check the below powershell script
    [void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
    # Get site
    $site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://YoServer:1002")
    # Iterate all the webs of the site
    foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs)
    # loop through all lists in web
    foreach ($list in $web.Lists)
    # Ensure list is of base Document Library
    if ($list.BaseType -ne "DocumentLibrary")
    # Move on
    continue
    # Loop through each item
    foreach ($item in $list.Items)
    # Get the file
    $file = $item.File
    # Delete all versions
    $file.Versions.DeleteAll()
    # Remove version from the list
    $list.EnableVersioning = $false
    $list.EnableModeration = $false
    # We still want to ensure check out
    $list.ForceCheckout = $true
    $list.Update()
    $web.Dispose();
    $site.Dispose();

  • SCCM 2012 PowerShell script gets progressively slower with each machine added to a collection

    Firstly, I hope this question firs in this forum.
    I have a PowerShell script that I created the imports a CSV file and adds the machine names to a collection as a direct membership. There are 5000 machines total in the list. When the script first starts, the average per machine is just a few tenths of a
    second. Once it reaches about 10% the average is up to almost 4 seconds and that time is getting larger with each machine. I tried using the CMDLets for SCCM but they were even slower than the WMI seemed to be.
    What is the reason for this increase?
    Is there anything I can do to not have this happen?
    My script:
    $ErrorActionPreference= 'continue'
    $FilesInFolder = Get-ChildItem $PSScriptRoot
    $CSVFiles = $FilesInFolder | where {$_.extension -eq ".csv"}
    $SiteCode = "US1"
    Function AddToCollection-WithWMI
    ForEach ($File in $CSVFiles)
    $CollectionStart = Get-Date
    $CollectionName = $File.Name.TrimEnd(".csv")
    $PClist = Import-CSV $File.FullName
    Write-Host "Populating Collection: " $CollectionName
    $i = 1
    $PCRollingTime = New-Object System.TimeSpan
    ForEach($PC in $PClist)
    $PCStart = Get-Date
    $ResourceName = $PC.SerialNumber
    Write-Host $i "of" $PClist.Count
    $ResourceQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_R_SYSTEM -Filter "Name = '$ResourceName'"
    $CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
    $CollectionQuery.Get()
    IF($ResourceQuery -ne $null)
    #Create new direct membership rule
    $NewRule = ([WMIClass]"\\Localhost\root\SMS\Site_US1:SMS_CollectionRuleDirect").CreateInstance()
    $NewRule.ResourceClassName = "SMS_R_System"
    $NewRule.ResourceID = $ResourceQuery.ResourceID
    $NewRule.Rulename = $ResourceQuery.Name
    #Commit changes
    $CollectionQuery.CollectionRules += $NewRule.psobject.baseobject
    $CollectionQuery.Put() | Out-Null
    $NewRule = $null
    ELSE
    Write-Host "No Device ID found for: " $PC.SerialNumber
    $CollectionQuery = $null
    $ResourceQuery = $null
    $PCFinish = Get-Date
    $TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $PCStart -End $PCFinish
    $PCRollingTime = $TimeSpan + $PCRollingTime
    If(($i % 25) -eq 0)
    $CurrentAvgPerPC = $PCRollingTime.TotalSeconds / $i
    Write-Host "The current average is" $CurrentAvgPerPC "seconds."
    $SecondsToETA = ($CurrentAvgPerPC * ($PClist.Count - $i))
    $ETA = Get-Date
    $ETA = $ETA.AddSeconds($SecondsToETA)
    Write-Host "The Estimated time of complete is" $ETA
    If(($i % 250) -eq 0)
    $PCRollingTime
    $i++
    $CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
    $CollectionQuery.Get()
    #Initiate the collection evaluator
    $CollectionQuery.RequestRefresh()
    $CollectionFinish = Get-Date
    AddToCollection-WithWMI

    I haven't checked the complete code, but it doesn't look very efficient. For example I would take the collection query out the loop for all the pcs, simply because it's always the same and would save you about 4999 queries.
    My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
    Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
    ^^ This 
    Additionally, you could likely replace most of the WMI calls you do with the built in SCCM PowerShell cmdlets.  The two lines below will check to see if a Device Object for a specific PC exists and if it does, adds it to your collection
    $PCID = Get-CMDevice -Name $PC.SerialNumber
    if ($PCID -ne $null) {
    Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionName $CollectionName -ResourceId $PCID
    If you want to check to see if the collection exists before trying to add devices to it, you can use the Get-CMDeviceCollection cmdlet.
    Get-CMDeviceCollection -Name $CollectionName

  • Powershell Script to change the target destination on a shortcut file.

    Hi All,
    I am in a middle of a new file server implementation and have come across a problem where the items on the old file server has been archived and moved to another server and in place a shortcut is left at the original location. The current target of those
    shortcut is going to be changed and thus I need to change the Target destination on those various shortcuts files. I am new to powershell and will really appreciate if someone can assist me with a powershell script for the below steps:
    To find all shortcut files (Excel, word, powerpoint and other types) whose current target destination is \\abcserver\z\abcpath
    Change the Target destination to \\xyzserver\z\abcpath on the shortcut file and apply the change.
    Effectively only change shortcut files whose current target begins with "\\abcserver\" and change to "\\xyzserver\"
    Search for the next shortcut and continue changing it.
    Hope the above makes sense and appreciate the assistance.
    Thanks!

  • How can I add SCOM 2012 Alert Context within a SCOM Alert When using a cusom powershell script in a two state monitor?

    Hello, we have a two state monitor and I would like to channel the Alert Context to Alert Description.
    The powershell script being used to find the stopped services is pasted below:
    $API = new-object -comObject "MOM.ScriptAPI" 
    $bag = $api.CreatePropertyBag()
    $ServiceStatus = Get-WmiObject -class win32_service |where {$_.startmode -eq'Auto'-and $_.State -eq 'Stopped' -and
    $_.name -ne 'wuauserv'}
    if (!$ServiceStatus) #if there are no automatic services that are stopped, we are healthy.
    write-host "good"
    $bag.addvalue("State","good")
    if ($servicestatus) #if there are any automatic services that are stopped, we are unhealthy.
    write-host "bad"
    $bag.addvalue("State","bad")
    foreach ($service in $servicestatus) #enumerate the stopped services
    $bag.addValue("$($Service.Name):","$($Service.state)")
    $bag
    $API.Return($BAG)
    The results of the services that are stopped are being captured in the Alert Context”. How can I pipe the Alert Context to “Alert Description” to obtain a meaningful alert?
    Alert Context data:
    Property Name                              Property Value
    State                                                  
    bad
    clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32: Stopped
    clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64: Stopped
    How can I pipe to Alert Description in SCOM 2012?
    Thanks,
    Kapil Dham
    Kapil Dham

    you don't need write-host
    you should create
    $bag.addvalue("ServiceName1","StateOK")
    $bag.addvalue("ServiceName2","StateStopped")
    and in alert description you will see
    ServiceName1  
    StateOK
    ServiceName2  
    StateStopped
    So try $bag.addValue($Service.Name,$Service.state)
    and $Data/Context/Property$

  • System.Drawing.Bitmap in a scheduled powershell script

    I've written a powershell script to date stamp multipage tiffs, but I check to make sure the file name follows the correct format before doing so. The file name must contain the date, sequence number, and number of pages. The script works fine when run manually,
    but when run from task scheduler it fails to query the number of pages in the TIFF. Any ideas why the .NET features wouldn't work from a powershell script run as a scheduled task?
