Ok I have amend my script slightly and I get the result what I wanted but what I need is when I run this script I will ask the date to get the details from rather than bring the whole ad computers.

Get-QADComputer -identity "
" | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

Add a Where-Object clause after the Get-QADComputer to specify the date you’re looking for. Here’s an example:
$TargetDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
Get-QADComputer | Where-Object {$.WhenChanged -gt $TargetDate} | Select …

Thanks for the reply but this is not what I want…

What I need is when I run the script it will ask me a question (What Date you want server details from) and it brings the result by looking at the when created date not when changed date.

Get-QADComputer -identity "*" | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

NOT tested, so you might need to do some debugging…
$TargetDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the search date in dd/mm/yyyy form: ')
Get-QADComputer | Where-Object {($
.WhenCreated).Date -eq $TargetDate} | Select …

Hello,

Thanks for your help I made slight change instead of putting "-eq" I put "-gt" and it worked.

$TargetDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy from: ')

Set-QADPssnapinsettings -Defaultsizelimit 0

Get-QADComputer | Where-Object {($.WhenCreated).Date -gt $TargetDate} | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

$TargetDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy form: ')
Get-QADComputer -SizeLimit 0 -OperatingSystem Server | Where-Object {($
.WhenCreated).Date -gt $TargetDate} | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

Thanks for this reply.
How do I do the date range filter for eg from 01/01/2013 to 31/01/2013.
by ArtB0514 at 2013-03-06 08:53:07
Change $TargetDate to $StartDate and add a new variable $EndDate (with the day AFTER the one you want to stop at) then update the Where-Object clause:

Where-Object {($.WhenCreated).Date -gt $StartDate -and ($.WhenCreated).Date -lt $EndDate}

Please see below script this is what I have changed but it seems to pick up every single entry from the AD in theory not working as requirement. please help


$StartDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy From: ')
$EndDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy To: ')

Get-QADComputer -Sizelimit 0 | Where-Object {($.WhenCreated).Date -gt $starttDate -and ($.WhenCreated).Date -lt $EndDate} | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

Hi ,
I just want to ask that instead of using the where-object to filter , won’t it be good if we use the -createdbefore and -createdafter parameters available with the Get-QADComputer cmdlet.
Following is an example
Get-QADComputer -CreatedAfter "04/13/2011" -CreatedBefore "04/15/2011"

Hope it helps

Can you please check this script i amended and advise


$StartDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy From: ')
$EndDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy To: ')

Get-QADComputer -Sizelimit 0 | $.CreatedBefore $startDate -and $.CreatedAfter $EndDate | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv
by alizpak at 2013-03-07 02:55:24
Finally below script works as I wanted…


$StartDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy From: ')
$EndDate = Get-Date (Read-Host 'Enter the Search date in dd/mm/yyyy To: ')

Get-QADComputer -Sizelimit 0 | Where-Object {($.WhenCreated).Date -gt $startDate -and ($.WhenCreated).Date -lt $EndDate} | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemVersion,WhenCreated,WhenChanged,CanonicalName | Export-Csv Computers.csv

[quote="DexterPOSH"]Hi ,
Following is an example
Get-QADComputer -CreatedAfter "04/13/2011" -CreatedBefore "04/15/2011"

Hope it helps[/quote]

Hi alizpak.

Does the above quoted way doesn’t work for you…??
It’s good that you got it working but you can filter the Computer accounts in the Get-QADComputer itself…

Does that makes sense ?
by alizpak at 2013-03-11 06:20:42
The way I wanted to design the script was when the script runs then user can input the date on the cmdlet rather then go and change the script and run, and i put the extra "T" on $startDate so it was completely skipping the command and generating result. So now it searching through the loop and get me the result what I wanted.

Thank you soo much help and support. This forum is just too good I get all the help what I need to learn powershell more and more
