I have a script that will do the following:
Create a Form with 2 ComboBoxes and a Text Box for user entry
I populate ComboBox 1 and populate ComboBox 2 based on the selection from ComboBox 1. Another thing that partially works is I can get Text to appear on the form based on the selection of ComboBox 1.
My Challenges are challenges I have, by priority are:
Challenge 1:
How can I change the the text on the form doesn't update if I change the selection in ComboBox 1. selection in ComboBox 1?
Challenge 2: (linked to Challenge 1)
I am looking for a way to combing ComboBox 1 with ComboBox 2 with the Text Box
Example: Comp1-Tst-MyTst?
Challenge 3:
I'm looking to import a CSV file / OR using a Get-AD.... for the variables instead of hard coding in the script.
Challenge 4:
I'm struggling with adding an Icon to the form
Challenge 5:
I'd like to prevent the Ok Button from appearing until a Checkbox is checked
Here's the code I have:
# Below is one of the Array's I'm adding
$ADSites=#("S01","S02","S03")
$ADSiteS01=#("AAA","BBB","CCC")
$ADSiteS02=#("DDD","EEE","FFF")
$ADSiteS03=#("GGG","HHH","JJJ")

This should help you out on the combo box issue and the OK button:

If you use an AD cmdlet to retrieve site details into an object you should easily be able to populate lists from that object using the same method you have now.
