I'm trying to get the value of msExchRecipientTypeDetails for a user using PowerShell and ADSI but I'm getting System.__ComObject.
I'm not able to move forward on getting the exact string.
I'm using below PowerShell command
$ADUsr = [ADSI]"LDAP://CN=User Name,OU=OrgUnit,DC=dc,DC=dc,DC=dc"
$ADUsr.msExchRecipientTypeDetails
And result are show below
PS C:\Windows\system32> $ADUsr.msExchRecipientTypeDetails
System.__ComObject
How Can I get the exact string value? I'm expecting to get "2147483648" for UserMailbox
Any help is appreciated!
I am able to see the value of this property if i use a directory searcher to retrieve the user object:
$Searcher = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$Searcher.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(sAMAccountName=testuser))"
$Searcher.SearchRoot = 'LDAP://DC=test,DC=domain,DC=au'
$Object = $Searcher.FindOne()
$Object .Properties.msexchrecipienttypedetails
Or you can simply use the powershell cmdlet:
Get-aduser testuser -Properties msExchRecipientTypeDetails
Unfortunately, I can't use PS for AD.
Tailored this to work how I wanted. I already have the user DN queried at the top of the script for another purpose
$UserDN = dsquery user forestroot -samid "USERNAME"
The rest to check for other attributes
$Searcher = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$LDAPPath = "LDAP://"+$UserDN
$Searcher.SearchRoot = $LDAPPath
$Object = $Searcher.FindOne()
$DisUsr = $Object.Properties.useraccountcontrol | Select -First 1
$SGMembership = $Object.Properties.memberof
$RecipientTypeDetails = $Object.Properties.msexchrecipienttypedetails | Select -First 1
$RemoteRecipientType = $Object.Properties.msexchremoterecipienttype | Select -First 1

like statted in the title, I want to get a list from the WSUS, where every clients is listed with their required updates, already installed updates, not applicable updates etc..
(Comparable to the message you can get from the WSUS, telling you which computer group need updates)
I already managed to write the necessary part to get the necessary update-count from the WSUS:
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")
$wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::getUpdateServer('XXX',$true,XXXX)
$computerscope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ComputerTargetScope
$updatescope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
$wsus.GetSummariesPerComputerTarget($updatescope,$computerscope) |
Format-Table #{L='ComputerTarget';E=$wsus.GetComputerTarget([guid]$_.ComputerTargetId)).FullDomainName}},
#{L='NeededCount';E={($_.DownloadedCount + $_.NotInstalledCount)}},DownloadedCount,NotApplicableCount,NotInstalledCount,InstalledCount,FailedCount -Autosize
Now I want to add a column to which shows me the AD field 'Description' for each client.
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")
$wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::getUpdateServer('XXX',$true,XXXX)
$computerscope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ComputerTargetScope
$updatescope = New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
$adusers = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=XXX,DC=XXX,DC=XXX" -Properties "Description","DNSHostName"
$wsus.GetSummariesPerComputerTarget($updatescope,$computerscope) |
Format-Table #{L='ComputerTarget';E={($wsus.GetComputerTarget([guid]$_.ComputerTargetId)).FullDomainName}},
#{L='Username';E={???}},
#{L='NeededCount';E={($_.DownloadedCount + $_.NotInstalledCount)}},DownloadedCount,NotApplicableCount,NotInstalledCount,InstalledCount,FailedCount -Autosize
Can somebody help me?
How can I display the domain, name and site (and nothing else) of all domain controllers using a single PowerShell command?
I've tried Get-ADDomainController cmdlet, but I only seem to get the local domaincontroller and not the information of my second server.
$getdomain = [System.Directoryservices.Activedirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()
$getdomain | ForEach-Object {$_.DomainControllers} |
ForEach-Object {
$hEntry= [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName($_.Name)
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Forest = $_.Forest
Name = $_.Name
IPAddress = $hEntry.AddressList[0].IPAddressToString
}
}

I’m trying to search through Active Directory using the AD module in PowerShell. I’m trying to determine whether a given user is in a given global group. The issue is that I’m using -match meaning if there is a username that contains another within it, such as 'smith_pl' containing 'smith_p'. The user 'smith_p' will be shown to be in the group.
So my question is: Is there a better way of getting a $True or $False return depending if a user is in a giving global group using the AD module?
If not
Is there a way of getting the output from $ListOfmembers into an array so I can use -eq instead of -match?
Part of Script:
$ListOfmembers = dsquery group domainroot -name $globalgroup |
dsget group -members |
dsget user -samid -L
$checkMember = $False
#Search if the user is in output the list
If($ListOfmembers -match $Logonname){
$checkMember = $True
}
ListOfmembers Output:
samid: user05_t
samid: user23_s
samid: Admin
samid: user45_s
dsget succeeded
Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.
$member = Get-ADGroupMember group1 -Recursive | where {$_.samaccountname -eq 'user1'}
if($member) {'user 1 is a member of group1'}
You can do it like this:
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement")
$username = "samaccountname"
$ct = [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.ContextType]::Domain
$user = [System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal]::FindByIdentity($ct, $username)
$g = $user.GetGroups()
( $g | select -expa name ) -contains 'groupname'

$user.memberof
This particular example is Get-User and Get-Mailbox (Exchange 2010). Get-User returns some of the columns I need, and Get-Mailbox some others. I am having difficulty figuring out how I can combine the results of the two into a single table with the results from both.
Get-User -Filter "..." | Get-Mailbox -Filter "..."
How do I take the results of a command similar to the above and turn it into results similar to below?
FirstName LastName Alias CustomAttribute1
--------- -------- ------ ----------------
Bob Smith bsmith Example
Johnny NoMail
Adam Blye ablye Has a Mailbox
Note that FirstName and LastName are not returned by Get-Mailbox, and conversely Alias and CustomAttributes are not returned from Get-User. Not every user has a mailbox, so sometimes a portion of the columns would be null. But I'm having a devil of a time figuring out the best way to return a combined table like this.
Get the users, save each user in a variable, get the mailbox for each user and then create a new object with properties from both variables
Get-User -Filter ... | Foreach-Object{
$user = $_
$mbx = Get-Mailbox $user
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
FirstName = $user.FirstName
LastName = $user.LastName
Alias = $mbx.Alias
CustomAttribute1 = $mbx.CustomAttribute1
}
}
I make a custom object, which may be overkill, but it's the simplest way I've found.
Here's some sample code to play with. Let me know if it generates any trouble or additional questions:
$outputCollection = #()
$users = Get-User -Filter "..."
$mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -Filter "..."
$users | Foreach-Object {
#Associate objects
$userObject = $_
$mailboxObject = $mailboxes | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $userObject.Name}
#Make a combined object
$outputObject = "" | Select Name, UserAttribute, MailboxAttribute
$outputObject.Name = $userObject.Name
$outputObject.UserAttribute = $userObject.UserAttribute
$outputObject.MailboxAttribute = $mailboxObject.MailboxAttribute
#Add the object to the collection
$outputCollection += $outputObject
}
$outputCollection
Another option that should work is called calculated properties:
Get-User -Filter "..." | Select Name, UserAttribute, #{Name="OtherAttribute"; Expression={(Get-Mailbox $_.Name).MailboxAttribute}}
...note that this will run a new Get-Mailbox command for each entry, potentially increasing execution time
Thank you guys. I spent a hell of a lot of time trying to figure out my own issue and your code helped me get it right. I needed to find all the calendars were the default account was set to none. Below is what I needed up using.
Get-Mailbox | ForEach-Object{
$user = $_
$calPerms = Get-MailboxFolderPermission $user":\calendar" -User Default | Where-Object {$_.AccessRights -eq "none"}
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Name = $user
Permissions = $calPerms.AccessRights
Users = $calPerms.user
}
}
One liner to get FirstName, LastName, Alias and CustomAttribute1:
Get-User | Select Firstname, Lastname, #{Name="Alias"; Expression={(Get-Mailbox $_.Name).Alias}}, #{Name="CustomAttribute1"; Expression={(Get-Mailbox $_.Name).CustomAttribute1}}
I am trying a few things in Powershell and what I don't manage to achieve is the following (in Exchange):
Get-User | Get-MailboxStatistics
But in the output I would like some fields/outputs from the "Get-User" cmdlet and some fields/outputs from the "Get-MailboxStatistics" cmdlet.
If anyone has an answer, I have searched the web but with no success as I've had difficulties explaining it in a few words.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Start with the execution of one cmdlet, pipe the results to Foreach-Object and then save a reference to the current object ($user), now execute the second command and save it in a variable as well. Create new object with properties from both objects.
You also need to filter users that have mailboxes, use the RecipientTypeDetails parameter.
$users = Get-User -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailox
$users | Foreach-Object{
$user = $_
$stats = Get-MailboxStatistics $user
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
FirstName = $user.FirstName
LastName = $user.LastName
MailboxSize = $stats.TotalItemSize
ItemCount = $stats.ItemCount
}
}
I don't know if it is the best or optimal solution, but you certainly do it by saving actual user to variable in foreach:
$users = Get-User
$users | % { $user = $_; Get-MailboxStatistics $_ | %
{
"User name:{0} - some mailbox statistics: {1}" -f $user.SomePropertyOfUser, $_.SomePropertyOfMailbox
}
}
The first step (saving users into separate variable) is required only when working with Exchange cmdlets - as mentioned here, you cannot nest Exchange cmdlets in foreach...
This error is caused when executing the Exchange cmdlets through PowerShell remoting, which do not support more than one pipeline running at the same time. You may see this error when you pipe the output from a cmdlet to foreach-object, which then runs another cmdlet within its scriptblock.
$users = Get-User -RecipientTypeDetails UserMailbox
$users | Foreach-Object{ $user = $_; $stats = Get-MailboxStatistics $user.DistinguishedName; New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{FirstName = $user.FirstName; LastName = $user.LastName;MailboxSize = $stats.TotalItemSize;ItemCount = $stats.ItemCount }}
I've had to add a specific field in input of Get-MailboxStatistics because remotely, I was having:
The following Error happen when opening the remote Runspace: System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert the "gsx-ms.com/Users/userName1" value of type "Deserialized.Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Management.User" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.GeneralMailboxOrMailUserIdParameter".
Anyway, thank you both #Jumbo and #Shay-levy
Get-ADUser -identity ADACCOUNT | Select-object #{Name="Identity";Expression={$_.SamAccountName}} | Get-MailboxStatistics
For some reason the Identity parameter doesn't take pipelne input by value, only by property name. So in order to get it to work you can change the name of piped in data to match the parameter name of Identity. Then Get-MailboxStatistics finally knows how to treat the data your feeding it via the pipeline.
