How i get this powershell dynamic script working? - powershell

Hello everyone i need this script to work and i'm stuck with a error.
I need to have a dynamic script with user choice and linking the mailbox we enter in first step to the HR choice.
In the csv part we have a group distribution list
Error says that i can not do the add-distributiongroupmember and i don't know why
can someone help me on this one ?
(I just do the 0 part choice because i need this one to work before doing the other choice)
code below
Connect-ExchangeOnline
$User = Read-Host "Enter Name of the mailbox to add"
Try {
$Mbx = Get-Mailbox -Identity $User -ErrorAction Stop | Select -ExpandProperty PrimarySmtpAddress}
Catch {
Write-Host "No mailbox can be found called" $User; break }
$Services = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription]::new('&Services')
$Services.HelpMessage = 'Get running services'
$HR = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription '&HR', 'Get running HRDL'
$Legal = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription '&Legal', 'Get running LegalDL'
$Quit = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription '&Quit', 'Quit menu'
$options = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($HR, $Legal, $Quit)
$Result = $host.UI.PromptForChoice('Task menu', 'Select a Department', $options , 0 )
$DLs = Import-Csv -Path "C:\Users\GregorySemedo\Desktop\Script\DL\DL-HR.csv"
switch($Result)
{
0 { ForEach ($DL in $DLs) {
Try {
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity $DL."HR" -Member $Mbx -ErrorAction Continue }
Catch {
Write-Host "Couldn't add" $Mbx "to DL" (Get-DistributionGroup -Identity $DL."HR").DisplayName }
If($?)
{
Write-Host $User Succesfully added -ForegroundColor Green

How do I use a switch statement with while loop

I am trying to add a user to the Remote Desktop group using Powershell.
It seems it's not breaking the loop and doesn't execute further statements.
Can you please help me where the issue is:
$remote = ""
While($remote -ne "Y" ){
$remote = read-host "Do you need to add anyone to the Remote Desktop group (y/n)?"
Switch ($remote)
{
Y {
$remoteuser = ""
while ( ($remoteuser -eq "") -or ($UserExists -eq $false) )
{
$remoteuser = Read-Host "Enter the username that needs to be in the group"
Write-Host "User inputted $remoteuser"
sleep -Seconds 2
try {
Get-ADUser -Identity $remoteuser -Server <server-FQDN>
$UserExists = $true
Write-Host "$remoteuser found!"
sleep 5
}
catch [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityResolutionException] {
Write-Host "User does not exist."
$UserExists = $false
}
catch {
Write-Host "Username is blank"
$UserExists = $false
}
}
}
N {Write-Host "No user accounts will be added to the Remote Desktop Users group. Restart your PC."}
default {Write-Host "Only Y/N are Valid responses"}
}

Powershell - Azure licence based on ad group

I have been developing AzureAD licence script based on AD Group. So, Find users with a direct assigned, find them in AD, evaluate what group they should be a member of, add them to licensing group. I have hashtable with multiple values $SKUToGroupRev. I can not match hashtable with multiple values with if($ADGroup = $SKUToGroupRev[$SKU.SkuId]) .
From what I want to do :
if there are 18181a46-0d4e-45cd-891e-60aabd171b4e and 0c266dff-15dd-4b49-8397-2bb16070ed52 inside SKUs variable for below command then I will add AD group related to the inside hashtable such as O365_E1_Users
OR
if there are 6fd2c87f-b296-42f0-b197-1e91e994b900 and 0c266dff-15dd-4b49-8397-2bb16070ed52 inside SKUs variable for below command then I will add AD group related to the inside hashtable such as O365_E3_Users
e.g:
# Get licensed SKUs for the user
$aaduser = get-azureaduser -objectID $user.UserPrincipalName
$SKUs = $aaduser | Select UserPrincipalName,ImmutableID -ExpandProperty AssignedLicenses
e.g output:
UserPrincipalName ImmutableId DisabledPlans SKUId

To test agains a combination of SkuID's, using a lookup hashtable as in your first approach is not the easiest way I think. Your current approach looks much better to me, only I would not put the ID's in array variables, but test them literally against the ID's as they are found in the users AssignedLicenses.
Something like this:
$CSVfile = "C:\temp\LicenseToGroupUsers.csv"
# Import the CSV file
$users = Import-Csv -Path $CSVfile

PowerShell return to menu after running an option

I'm trying to create a menu for tasks i run in 365 Exchange. I want the script to return to the main menu once rather then ending when i run it. any guidance would be greatly received
edit - thanks it now loops back to the menu, could you point me in the direction of displaying a the powershell results before heading back to the main menu.
You should properly format your question, the code is unreadable.
A general approach can be like this:
do
{
Show-Menu
$inputChoice = Read-Host "Select your choice"
switch ($inputChoice)
{
'1' {
clear-host
write-Host "The output will be shown onscreen"
get-exomailbox -resultsize 10
pause
} '2' {
write-Host "2"
} 'q' {
return
}
}
}
until ($inputChoice -eq 'q')
Continuing from my comment to highlight come suggestions.
I do not have an M365 instance to test this in, so that side is untested, but this is just to give you another take on your use case approach. Ensure you leverage -WhatIf or -Confirm on those cmdlets to make sure of stuff before you really run things.
Output to the screen is the PowerShell default for text. So, I have a standard of only using Write-* only when it's absolutely needed. Others have their own
take of course.
I am using scriptblock to allow for reusable code to eliminate redundancy. The return to the menu and out of the screen is also in this.
Again, this is just another take on what you've done and what others have noted.

Computer Type and Asset tag merge using PS

I wrote out a PowerShell Script to rename my computer, add it to specific OU's and join it to the domain. My question is we have two types of computer Desktop (DT) and Laptop (LT) and we give it an asset tag and I would like for it to ask me to select if it is a desktop or laptop and then ask for the asset tag number and then add the DT or LT in front of the asset tag number as the computer name (sorry if confused) example: DT01234 or LT01235. I will post my code below and bold the area that renames the computer. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Write-Host "Select Desktop or Laptop [1-2] [Default 1]:
1. Desktop
2. Laptop"
$computertype = Read-Host
Write-Host "Please Enter Asset Tag"
$NewCompName = Read-Host
$renamecomputer = $true
if ($NewCompName -eq "" -or $NewCompName -eq $env:COMPUTERNAME) {$NewCompName = $env:COMPUTERNAME; $renamecomputer = $false}
Write-Host "Please enter your desired location [1-7] [Default 1]:

Read-Host "Press enter to change computer name"
if ($renamecomputer -eq $true)

Looks like you want something like this
if ($NewCompName -eq "" -or $NewCompName -eq $env:COMPUTERNAME)
{
$NewCompName = $env:COMPUTERNAME; $renamecomputer = $false
}
elseif($NewCompName -inotmatch "^DT|^LT")
{
switch($computertype )
{
1{$NewCompNamePrefix = "DT"}
2{$NewCompNamePrefix = "LT"}
default{}
}
$NewCompName = $NewCompNamePrefix + $NewCompName
}
the -inotmatch is just making sure that if a $newcompname is inputted that already looks like DTwhatever or LTwhatever, it won't append an extra LT or DT
Unrelated (just me being a bit nitpicky):
Look into Read-host -Prompt and nest the prompts into do while loops, so you can validate that the input is what you're expecting.
something like this
$properChoices = #("a","b","c")
do
{
$choice = (Read-Host -Prompt "pick a, b, or c").ToLower()
switch($choice)
{
"a"{"You picked $choice"}
"b"{"You picked $choice"}
"c"{"You picked $choice"}
default{Write-Warning "Invalid Input"}
}
}
while($choice -notin $properChoices)

PowerShell Remove the last error

In my PowerShell script I try to do some error handling. However, I'm depending on an advanced function that uses the Try/Catch clauses. So once in a while the code block in the function fails and goes to the Catch clause after generating an error. At this point the variable $Error is filled with one error.
If I then consult within my script the variable $Error it tells me there's one record, which is correct. But I would like to know if it's possible to only delete the last error within the function in the Catch clause? So I can keep my $Error variable clear for the script errors.
The problem is within Get-ADTSProfileHC. I tried to delete the last error with $Error[0] | Remove-Item but it failed.
The function:
Function Get-ADusersHC {
[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$True)]
Param(
[Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true,Position=0)]
[String[]] $OU
)
Begin {
Function Get-ADOUNameHC {
$CanonicalName = $_.CanonicalName
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$Pieces = $CanonicalName.split(“/”)
$Pieces.Remove($Pieces[-1])
$OU = $Pieces -join '\'
$OU -replace ($Pieces[0],$Pieces[0].ToUpper())
}
Function Get-ADManagerDisplayNameHC {
$m = Get-ADObject -Identity $_.manager -Properties displayName,cn
if($m.ObjectClass -eq "user") { $m.displayName } Else{ $m.cn }
}
Function Get-ADTSProfileHC {
[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)]
[String] $DistinguishedName,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=1)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[ValidateSet('UserProfile','AllowLogon','HomeDirectory','HomeDrive')]
[String]$Property
)
Begin {
$User = [ADSI]"LDAP://$DistinguishedName"
}
Process {
Try {
Switch ($Property) {
'AllowLogon' {if ($($User.psbase.InvokeGet('allowLogon')) -eq '1'){$True}else{$False}}
'HomeDirectory' {$User.psbase.InvokeGet('TerminalServicesHomeDirectory')}
'HomeDrive' {$User.psbase.InvokeGet('TerminalServicesHomeDrive')}
'UserProfile' {$User.psbase.InvokeGet('TerminalServicesProfilePath')}
}
}
Catch {
# When we receive an error, it means the field has never been used before and is blank
# this is due to an error in the AD (same problem with the Quest CmdLet), AllowLogon is
# always 'TRUE' but we don't set it because we can't read it sometimes so we write 'blanks'
Write-Output $null
}
}
}
}
Process {
Foreach ($_ in $OU) {
Write-Verbose "Function Get-HCADusersNoManager > OU: $_"
Write-Verbose "Function Get-HCADusersNoManager > Manager field empty"
Get-ADUser -SearchBase $_ -Filter 'SAMAccountName -eq "shenn"' -Properties * |
#Get-ADUser -SearchBase $_ -Filter * -Properties * |
Foreach {
$Properties = ([Ordered] #{
"Creation date" = $_.whenCreated;
"Display name" = $_.displayName;
"CN name" = $_.name;
"Last name" = $_.sn;
"First name" = $_.givenName;
"Logon name" = $_.sAMAccountName;
"Manager" = if($_.manager){Get-ADManagerDisplayNameHC};
"Employee ID" = $_.EmployeeID;
"HeidelbergcCement Billing ID" = $_.extensionAttribute8
"Type of account" = $_.employeeType;
"OU" = Get-ADOUNameHC;
"Notes" = $_.info -replace "`n"," ";
"E-mail" = $_.EmailAddress;
"Logon script" = $_.scriptPath;
"TS User Profile" = Get-ADTSProfileHC $_.DistinguishedName 'UserProfile';
"TS Home directory" = Get-ADTSProfileHC $_.DistinguishedName 'HomeDirectory';
"TS Home drive" = Get-ADTSProfileHC $_.DistinguishedName 'HomeDrive';
"TS Allow logon" = Get-ADTSProfileHC $_.DistinguishedName 'AllowLogon'
})
$Object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $Properties
Write-Output $Object
}
}
}
}
Two easy ways to do this:
$error.Remove($error[0])
$Error.RemoveAt(0)
Don't forget to check there is an error first.
$Error.Remove($error[$Error.Count-1])
If errors variable is empty, you will not get any exception
I hope it helps
