Hello,
I created some users in Active Directory called Person 1, Person 2, Person 3, and Person 4. If I do
(Get-ADUser -Filter ‘name -like “Person 1”’).Name
, it will find “Person 1”, but when I do
(Get-ADUser -Filter ‘name -like "’$GetMFNames’"').Name
, it gives an error message.
What I’m trying to do is, automate the process of adding employees pictures to Outlook using the ActiveDirectory thumbnailphoto attribute.
# test people are in Test-OU-Darcy
#$MFPhotos = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($IntranetPhotoMFFolder)
#$PioneerPhotos = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder)
#$FindMFADUsers = (Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "Person 1"').Name
#Set-ADUser ttantony -Replace @{thumbnailPhoto=$MFPhotos}
$IntranetPhotoMFFolder = '\\hqfs1\Shares\HQShared\Intranet\Intranet Employee Photo'
$IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder = '\\hqfs1\Shares\HQShared\Intranet\Intranet Pioneer Photos'
$GetMFNames = Get-ChildItem $IntranetPhotoMFFolder -Exclude Completed | % {$_.BaseName}
$GetPioneerNames = Get-ChildItem $IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder -Exclude Completed | % {$_.BaseName}
ForEach($Employees in $GetMFNames)
{
#(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "Person 1"').Name
(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "'$GetMFNames'"').Name
}
Thank you,
Tony
This is the error message:

Your command is passing all of the users in the variable $GetMFNames rather the the one that you are currently processing
Try this
ForEach($Employees in $GetMFNames)
{
#(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "Person 1"').Name
(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "'$Employees'"').Name
}
# test people are in Test-OU-Darcy
#$MFPhotos = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($IntranetPhotoMFFolder)
#$PioneerPhotos = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder)
#$FindMFADUsers = (Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "Person 1"').Name
#Set-ADUser ttantony -Replace @{thumbnailPhoto=$MFPhotos}
$IntranetPhotoMFFolder = '\\hqfs1\Shares\HQShared\Intranet\Intranet Employee Photo'
$IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder = '\\hqfs1\Shares\HQShared\Intranet\Intranet Pioneer Photos'
$GetMFNames = Get-ChildItem $IntranetPhotoMFFolder -Exclude Completed | % {$_.BaseName}
$GetPioneerNames = Get-ChildItem $IntranetPhotoPioneerFolder -Exclude Completed | % {$_.BaseName}
ForEach($Employees in $GetMFNames)
{
#(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "Person 1"').Name
#(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "'$GetMFNames'"').Name
(Get-ADUser -Filter 'name -like "'$Employees'"').Name
}
Thank you, I did that, and now it says this. This is a different error message than earlier.

Thanks, that was it
