Any way to use an AD group for a batch script?

I have a .bat script that reads from a text file a list of computers and runs the script for each of them. But i want to make this happen automaticly if a user is part of that AD group. That can be done with GPO and running a script, but i still would need
to update my textfile. So is there any way i can communicate with AD through a script? So i can run it against a AD group instead of a textfile.

Your requirement is not fully clear to me regarding the automation you are planning to implement. In your post you mentioned you want to automate the process of reading computer object whereas the automation you are seeking is for users, so is it for users
or system? What exactly is your requirement?
Group policy can be used for automation esp group policy preferences based on subnet, group membership, IP etc. I don't think in-built dynamic group membership option is present within AD using criteria or role where as its available within exchange server.

  • Is there any way to filter an AD group for Synchronization?

    Project Server 2010 , the AD synchronization fails every week because of users who have left the organization.
    Is there any way to filter the AD group so that only active users are picked up into the application?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Ricardo.
    The problem is that if a user leaves, his id is usually reused.
    Eg. John Smith leaves the organization, his ID JSmith is reused.
    But the original record is in the AD group, so it fails to recognize the new user say Jack Smith.
    The error seen in the logs is typically:
    " A resource could not be updated during Project Server Active Directory Synchronization because a duplicate windows account name conflict occured that could not be resolved. Resource GUID: d2077b6c97992-57d5-4d87-9ba9-c6ae273. Resource Name XYZ"
    and
    "the supplied windows account name is invalid."

  • Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?

    Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
    I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
    Thanks
    Glenn

    This has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

  • Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?

    I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
    So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6
    Thanks in advance.

  • My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

    My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

    Hi cindy,
    If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
    Here's what I mean:
    If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
    However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
    You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
    Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
    So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
    The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
    Hope that helps,

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?

    I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
    In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
    app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
       cLabel: "Flatten",
       cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
       cExec: "flattenPages();"
    That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed.  I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
    I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
    This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar).  The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar.  In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
    From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy.  Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
    Thanks.

    One further question...
    I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue.  That led me to this (failed) solution:
    this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
    var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
    app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
       cLabel: "Flatten",
       oIcon: flatIcon,
       cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
       cExec: "flattenPages();"
    The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently.  Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script?  Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script.
