Gurus, I am in Domain A. I want the list of computers from domain B. I looked up online but running out of options.by DonJ at 2013-04-17 16:08:25
Please Help! I don’t know what i am doing wrong here.
Yeah. Map a drive to the other domain using the ActiveDirectory provider. Then change to that drive when running the command.by jagan at 2013-04-18 12:04:11
I did exactly what you said. still same issue. please tell me where am I doing wrong?by DonJ at 2013-04-18 12:11:19Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$SearchBase = "CN=ABC,DC=LZREMOTE,DC=com"
cd "Z:"
get-ADComputer -SearchBase $SearchBase -Filter {Name -like 'LAXDB'} -property * |Sort-Object Name
It looks like you’re not connecting to a DC in the LZREMOTE.com domain. Make sure your drive (it doesn’t need to be a single letter, you can name the drive LZREMOTE: if you want) is pointed to that domain, and you may need to specify (a) explicit credentials and (b) a domain controller to connect to when running the command. Make sure the target domain can talk to the AD cmdlets (you need to point to a DC running the Web service).by jagan at 2013-04-18 12:44:51
Don, thanks for the quick reply! Z drive is mapped as a network drive from LZREMOTE.COM. i connect using a LZREMOTE.COM user account. in MY Serachbase variable, ABC is the domain controller server name. your last part of the commentby DonJ at 2013-04-18 12:50:05
"Make sure the target domain can talk to the AD cmdlets (you need to point to a DC running the Web service)." how do i know target domain can talk to AD cmdlets? and yes dc is running the webservice
Ah. No, not a network drive. You can actually map a drive, in PowerShell to Active Directory. Run Get-PSProvider (with the AD module loaded) and you’ll see the provider; you’ll notice you have an AD: drive already to your default domain. I think you can run "help ActiveDirectory" for more.
