Syntax for Get-ADUser to get only these items "DistinguishedName" "SamAccountName" "Title"
Is there a way to pull these three parts in PowerShell???
you always get the default set of properties, whether you ask for them or not. [...] always get all the default properties.
Richard Mueller - MVP Directory Services
It is true that the default set of properties is retrieved, but with a few more lines the OP can get what he is looking for. I had the same problem and overcame it by defining the output I wanted to display. The following code did what I think he is
asking for my test user; though my test user had no title.
$reportObject = @()
$userList = Get-ADUser USERNAME -Properties DistinguishedName,SamAccountName,Title
$userList | %{
$output = "" | Select DistinguishedName,SamAccountName,Title
$output.sAMAccountName = $_.sAMAccountName
$output.DistinguishedName = $_.DistinguishedName
$output.Title = $_.Title
$reportObject += $output
$output | fl *
$reportObject | Convertto-CSV -NoTypeInformation | Out-File C:\Output.txt
you can pull any -property that is a "Attr LDAP Name" (List: http://www.kouti.com/tables/userattributes.htm)
you may also find the -filter flag useful if you have to get more than one user.

Hello,
I am trying to just get the Managers of my users in Active Directory. I have gotten it down to the user and their manager, but I don't need the user. Here is my code so far:
Get-ADUser-filter*-searchbase"OU=REDACTED,
OU=Enterprise Users, DC=REDACTED, DC=REDACTED"-PropertiesManager|SelectName,@{N='Manager';E={(Get-ADUser$_.Manager).Name}}
|export-csvc:\managers.csv-append
Also, I need to get rid of the duplicate values in my hash table. I tried playing around with -sort unique, but couldn't find a place it would work. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
MattI would caution that, although it is not likely, managers can also be contact, group, or computer objects. If this is possible in your situation, use Get-ADObject in place of Get-ADUser inside the curly braces.
Also, if you only want users that have a manager assigned, you can use -LDAPFilter "(manager=*)" in the first Get-ADUser.
Finally, if you want all users that have been assigned the manager for at least one user, you can use:
Get-ADUser
-LDAPFilter "(directReports=*)" |
Select @{N='Manager';E={ (Get-ADUser
$_.sAMAccountName).Name }}
-Unique | Sort Manager |
Export-Csv .\managerList.csv -NoTypeInformation
This works because when you assign the manager attribute of a user, this assigns the user to the directReports attribute of the manager. The directReports atttribute is multi-valued (an array in essence).
Again, if managers can be groups or some other class of object (not likely), then use Get-ADObect throughout and identify by distinguishedName instead of sAMAccountName (since contacts don't have sAMAccountName).

Get-ADUser and Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership combined
I'm trying to get a list of template user account and what their membership are exported to a csv file. I'm trying to combine the tables on them but having a hard time figuring it out. I spent the day racking my brain on this and figured I would reach out
for help. This gets all my template users.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$User = "*Template*"
$usernames = (Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -like '*$User*'" -Properties * | format-table Displayname, SamAccountName)
$usernames
I can use this to get all the members of the groups, but since the groups repeat it doesnt break down where one user stops and the others begin.
$groups = Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -like '*$Usr*'" -Properties DisplayName | foreach-object{Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $_.SamAccountName} | format-table name
I was thinking of joining the tables but that wasnt much help to me since I cant figure out what to join on. I also thought about looping through the first table with a foreach loop but it was assigning the whole table in the first pass and displaying nothing.
If anyone could help or suggest something, I would greatly appreciate.
MattHi Matt,
Give this a shot:
Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -like '*Template*'" -Properties MemberOf | ForEach {
$username = $_.SamAccountName
$_.MemberOf | ForEach {
$props = @{
Username = $username
GroupName = (Get-ADGroup $_).Name
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Sort Username,GroupName |
Select Username,GroupName |
Export-Csv .\GroupMemberships.csv -NoTypeInformation

Below script is the one i use, however i do have an problem i would like some help with.
I use the script to display some basic info and also to show if the user is lockedout or not.
However i do would like to have the choice to unlock the user in the script as well, therefore im using the if statement.
But dont get it to return the value i want. What i want it to do is to check if the account is locked if so ask if it should unlock it. Any help or input is appreciated.

Search syntax for Safari history? how to remove items from specific pages?
I'm using Safari 5.0.3 and I prefer keeping the browsing history quite long for accessing contents I had been searching in the net some weeks ago.
However, that way I'm collecting lots of clutter and therefore I'd like to remove selected entries from the history, e. g. from the page where I'm reading daily news etc.
I tried to use the search field (accessible with Cmd-F in the history view) to search for parts of the corresponding web address, e. g. "http://www.heute.de", but I do not only get the history items from that site but many others from google and other pages.
So I'd like to know: is there a search syntax to use the search field, like address=www.heute.de* which enables wild cards, operators like OR/AND etc.?
If not, is there a 3rd party tool which can help or can I use spotlight/the finder to find and remove the unwanted items from the browser history?Hi beckmart
there might be ready-made apps or add-ons to do that - but this may help...
quit safari, open Home/Library/Safari/History.plist using PrefSetter
enter the url you want removed in the search box, no need for quotes - say www.google.com
expand the 'web history dates' section at left to see individual results, then select the first one & shift-click the last (don't use select all) to highlight/select all the results - then press the delete key to remove them. Then save the file.
Naturally, a backup copy of history.plist would be wise - but the above seems to work very well. -
How do I run Get-ADUser and filter out two separate OUs
Ha! I was assuming that Where-Object wouldn't do me any better. Well, I guess I made an ass out of me. ;)
Your first script is what I will use. We have some user accounts in other OUs that are disabled for other reasons.
It's little quirks like this that keep me from using Powershell more often.
Thanks Matt!Hi again all!I am trying to write a script that will search for AD users that have the "Password Never Expires" box checked, but not if they are in one of two OUs. These OUs are not parent/child, they are separate.If I run this, I get about 30 results:
Powershellget-aduser -filter { PasswordNeverExpires -eq $true }Some of the results are in the "Disabled Accounts" OU, some are in the "Contractors" OU, and the rest are in neither.
If I run either of these, I get zero results:

Using get-aduser -filter to find blank spaces only
Hello all,
What I'm trying to do is pretty simple. I want to use the -filter parameter of the get-aduser cmdlet to find a defined attribute that only contains a space. For example, I want to find any users that have extensionattribute1 equal to " ". I've
tried the following code but I get the error "the search filter cannot be recognized":
get-aduser -filter {extensionattribute1 -eq " "}
What I don't want to use is -like "* *", as that will give me values that contain a space anywhere. I only want to return users that have extensionattribute1 equal to one space.
Any ideas?Yes, in LDAP syntax you can escape any character with the backslash escape character followed by the two character hex ASCII representation of what you want. You can get foreign characters this way. More on escaping characters here:

Using get-aduser to search for enabled users in entire domain filter ..
Hi,
my first post here.
I have the following problem. I am trying to figure out to create a powershell command (with get-aduser) that searches for only enabled
users (in the entire domain), whose user account login names starts with "b" or "B" (because their user account login names are composed of Bnnnnn, n=numbers). I suppose that a string of "B*" in the command should be sufficient. The query result
must show the user account login name (Bnnnnn), first name
and last name and the enabled (yes) status of those enabled users. I would like to write the entire query result to a file (csv format), saving it to c: for example
Please help. Thanks in advanceI use -LDAPFilter mostly because I am used to the LDAP syntax. It can be used in PowerShell, VBScript, dsquery, VB, and many command line utilities (like Joe Richards' free adfind utility). Active Directory is an LDAP compliant database.
The PowerShell -Filter syntax can do the same things, but the properties it exposes are really aliases. I'm used to the AD attribute names, like sAMAccountName and userAccountControl. PowerShell uses things like "enabled" and "surname", which are aliases
you need to know or look up. For example, the Get-ADUser default and extended properties, with the actual AD attributes they are based on, are documented here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12037.active-directory-get-aduser-default-and-extended-properties.aspx
Finally, note that the "Name" property refers to the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) of the object, which for user objects is the value of the cn attribute (the Common Name of the user). This may not uniquely identify the user, as it only needs to be unique
in the parent OU/container. The user login name (pre-Windows 2000 logon name) is the value of the sAMAccountName attribute, which must be unique in the domain. In the Wiki article I linked, we see that the PowerShell alias for this attribute is "SamAccountName"
(in this case the name of the property matches the name of the AD attribute). All of this can be confusing.

Im trying to import songs from a cd, but it only shows track numbers, no title of songs.when it try to get the titles it gives error code saying im not registered for online use. i am signed into my account so i dont know how to fix this.
The "not recognized for on-line use" error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\.
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure.
If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes. -
Get-AdUser -Filter for homeDirectory

What gives?Hi,
you need to use the LDAP escape character for \, which is \5c
So, you could write it like this:
$DirectoryInfo = Get-Item \\server\share\User1HomeDirectory
$strFilter = $DirectoryInfo.FullName.Replace("\","\5c")
$AdUser = Get-AdUser -Filter {homeDirectory -like $strFilter}
If ($AdUser.HomeDirectory -like $DirectoryInfo.FullName) { #not abandoned home directory }

Hi WOLF86,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to quit the Mac App Store application. Then go to the Apple - My Apple ID website and click on "Manage your Apple ID" to confirm your settings. If you can't remember your password, you can reset it from this website.
The next thing I would try is to open your iTunes application, and on the menu bar, click on Store > View Account. Make sure your billing information and shipping details are correct. (You may be requested to re-enter your credit card security code, then be sure to click Done).
Finally, restart your computer and launch the Mac App Store and try your purchase again.
