I need to run a GPO that will collect info from the user that logs in. The user logs into the computer gets the samaccountname and uses get-aduser to collect full name and email address. My question is: If the client machine does not have the ad module do I need to import it or will the server handle it
i do not know whether this will be handled by the workstation or the server, but i do know that you don’t need the ad module to get the information you mentioned
$userinfo = [pscustomobject][hashtable]([adsisearcher]"samaccountname=$env:USERNAME").findone().properties $userinfo.name $userinfo.mail
This is what I have so far:
$username = $env:USERNAME $Filter = "(&(objectCategory=User)(SamAccountName=$UserName))" $Searcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher $Searcher.Filter = $Filter $ADUserPath = $Searcher.Findone() $ADUser = $ADUserPath.GetDirectoryEntry() $ADDisplayName = $ADUser.displayName $ADEmailAddress = $ADUser.mail $ADTitle = $ADUser.title $ADDescription = $ADUser.description $ADTelePhoneNumber = $ADUser.TelephoneNumber #$ADMobile = $ADUser.mobile $ADStreetAddress = $ADUser.streetaddress #$ADCity = $ADUser.l $ADDepartment = $ADUser.department
The only one that works and returns a value is displayname. Can someone help me fix it
try changing this
$ADUser = $ADUserPath.GetDirectoryEntry()
to this
$ADUser = $ADUserPath.Properties
How can I get the same properties with adsi. as with get-aduser .I can get the emailaddress property using get-aduser but not with adsi. Can You help me.
There may be some useful information here
