2 ForEach loops with output to SQL Server DB

PowerShell Help
1

I have a butchered version of Dan Belcher’s ‘Active Directory to SQL’

Which gets a list of ADGroups , Filtered in one loop Then Gets the ADGroupMembers for each group and output to SQL Server database.

Getting the ADGroups , works , Getting the ADGroupMembers works however when writing to the SQL ServerDatabase it inserts each Group as expected but the members list is always the GroupMembers from the last Group.

If I have 4 Groups each with varying number of members the output always show 4 groups all with the same member list.

here is an abridged version of the script

<#Setting up object variables
to be used for AD lookup#>
$TIME = [datetime]::today.adddays(-$DAYS)
$Groups = (Get-AdGroup -filter * | Where {$_.name -like "*I&O*"} )
$Arrayofmembers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $Group.name -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties samaccountname, displayname, objectclass, name, enabled, UserPrincipalName
<#Connect and cleanup the AD table
Connection remains open for writting#>
<#Begin loop through the ADARRAY for
Variables and begin inserting Rows to table#>

ForEach($Group in $Groups){

foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers) {
$GroupName = $Group.Name
$Name = $Member.name
$ObjectClass=$Member.Objectclass
#$DisplayName = $Member.Displayname
$DisplayName = $Member.DisplayName.replace("'","''")
$sam = $Member.samaccountname
$email = $Member.UserPrincipalName.replace("'","''")
$enabled = $Member.Enabled

$GroupName
$Name
$ObjectClass
$DisplayName
$sam
$Enabled
$email
}}

Seems you just need to move your assignment of members inside the groups loop?

<#Setting up object variables
to be used for AD lookup#>
$TIME = [datetime]::today.adddays(-$DAYS)
$Groups = (Get-AdGroup -filter * | Where {$_.name -like "*I&O*"} )
<#Connect and cleanup the AD table
Connection remains open for writting#>
<#Begin loop through the ADARRAY for
Variables and begin inserting Rows to table#>

ForEach($Group in $Groups){
    $Arrayofmembers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $Group.name -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties samaccountname, displayname, objectclass, name, enabled, UserPrincipalName
    foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers) {
        $Name = $Member.name
        $ObjectClass=$Member.Objectclass
        #$DisplayName = $Member.Displayname
        $DisplayName = $Member.DisplayName.replace("'","''")
        $sam = $Member.samaccountname
        $email = $Member.UserPrincipalName.replace("'","''")
        $enabled = $Member.Enabled
        
        $GroupName
        $Name
        $ObjectClass
        $DisplayName
        $sam
        $Enabled
        $email
    }
}

Not exactly sure what you mean

do you mean

 

ForEach($Group in $Groups){ 
$GroupName = $Group.Name
$Name = $Member.name
$ObjectClass=$Member.Objectclass
#$DisplayName = $Member.Displayname
$DisplayName = $Member.DisplayName.replace("'","''")
$sam = $Member.samaccountname
$email = $Member.UserPrincipalName.replace("'","''")
$enabled = $Member.Enabled

$GroupName 
$Name 
$ObjectClass
$DisplayName 
$sam
$Enabled
$email

$X = $X + 1 
foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers) {

}

}

Sorry, I reread you post and I think you have solved it.

Thanks

Good. Yeah I think you had everything you needed, just needed to move the $arrayofmembers assignment inside the group loop. I wasn’t sure what the variables at the bottom were, I assumed placeholder for where you write to SQL.

Also, put the output in the PSObject:

<#Setting up object variables
to be used for AD lookup#>
$TIME = [datetime]::today.adddays(-$DAYS)
$Groups = (Get-AdGroup -filter * | Where {$_.name -like "*I&O*"} )
<#Connect and cleanup the AD table
Connection remains open for writting#>
<#Begin loop through the ADARRAY for
Variables and begin inserting Rows to table#>

$results = ForEach($Group in $Groups){
    $Arrayofmembers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $Group.name -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties samaccountname, displayname, objectclass, name, enabled, UserPrincipalName
    foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers) {
       [PSCustomObject]@{
              Name        = $Member.name
              ObjectClass = $Member.Objectclass
              DisplayName = $Member.DisplayName.replace("'","''")
              Sam         = $Member.samaccountname
              Email       = $Member.UserPrincipalName.replace("'","''")
              Enabled     = $Member.Enabled
       }
    }
}

$results
