how is it possible to add the Group "administrator" to all OUs Permission entries with fullcontrol by powershell?
quest active roles can be used.
i failed on my try:
$test=Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -like "*"' -searchscope onelevel | FT Name | ForEach-Object{ Add-QADPermission -"$test" -Account "administrators" -ApplyTo ChildObjects -Rights genericall}
Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -like "*"' -searchscope onelevel | Select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName | ForEach-Object{ Add-QADPermission "$_" -Account 'domainName\administrator' -Rights 'GenericAll' -ApplyTo 'ChildObjects'}
That should get all OUs in the root of the domain, and then for each OU it will add the administrator group to all child objects and anything that descends from them. If you want to include the first level OUs you will want to probably want to change 'ChildObjects' to 'All'.
If you have any issues or questions please leave a comment.

I am new to powershell so please excuse me if the answer is quite simple. I am trying to get user list sorted by selected AD groups and export that to table or csv at least. Due to the fact that:
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "TestGroupName"
... gives me only user IDs for my AD, I used below:
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "TestGroupName" | Get-ADObject -Properties displayName
This works perfectly but I do not want to type manually each group there so I decided to first export groups that I need which are beginning with "Test":
Get-ADGroup -Filter "name -like 'Test*'" |Select-Object Name | Export-csv -path \Groups.csv
Now I want to use information from Groups.csv to list all user displayName for groups listed in Groups.csv so I tried something like that:
Import-Csv -Path .\Groups.csv | Get-ADGroupMember ForEach($Name in $Groups) | Get-ADObject -Properties displayName | Export-csv -path \UsersByGroups.csv
unfortunately it does not work properly maybe because I still do not get exactly how to use ForEach
Can someone with more experience have a look and help?
Thanks!

Just pipe the groups output by Get-ADGroup -Filter ... directly to Get-ADGroupMember:
Get-ADGroup -Filter "name -like 'Test*'" |Get-ADGroupMember |Get-ADObject -Properties displayName
I have a list of computers that I need to find a specific AD Group Membership and output to csv.
How can I do this from PS ?
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership (Get-ADComputer ComputerName) | select-object name
Thanks you
You are not trying to find groups of users, but computers. using Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership is useless.
Get-Content .\ListOfComputer.txt | Get-ADComputer -properties Memberof
| Where-Object {$_.MemberOf -like "*Specific Word*"} | export-csv SpecificADGroupMembership.csv -Append
I want a list of users in ATL Users that have direct reports.
Part 1: Group Membership
I can get the users in a group.
Get-ADGroupMember "ATL Users" | Where objectClass -eq "user"
Part 2: Filter for Direct Reports
I can get a list of users with direct reports, but very slowly (scans entire tree).
Get-ADUser -Filter "DirectReports -like '*'"
Question
How can I get the list of users in ATL Users then -Filter those users by if they have direct reports?
This is readily done with an LDAP filter using memberOf. If this is a one-off query and you know the group's distinguished name (cn=ATL Users,ou=groups,dc=domain,dc=gTLD in this example), you can use:
get-aduser -LDAPFilter "(&(memberOf=cn=ATL Users,ou=groups,dc=domain,dc=gTLD)(directReports=*)(objectClass=user))"
If you will be running this query repeatedly, it would be best to get the group object from a search so directory restructuring won't break your query.
PS> $groupFQDN = (get-adgroup -identity "ATL Users").distinguishedName
PS> $groupFQDN
CN=ATL Users,OU=NewGroupsOU,DC=company,DC=gTLD
PS> get-aduser -LDAPFilter "(&(memberOf=$groupFQDN)(directReports=*)(objectClass=user))"
You can just pipe a foreach into Get-ADUser -filter after Get-ADGroupMember
Example:
Get-ADGroupMember "ATL Users" | Where-Object {$_.ObjectClass -eq "user"} | foreach {Get-ADUser $_.samaccountname -properties Name, DirectReports | Where-Object {$_.DirectReports -like "*"} |Select Name, DirectReports}
I'm trying to retrieve only enabled users in the AD. When I run this code line it returns the error. I tried using a filter as well to filter only enabled users for the requested info but it returns ALL users from every domain instead of just the single id.
Get-ADUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'enabled -eq 'true''.
This is my code that is throwing the error.
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Animal Shop A' | Get-ADUser -Filter '*' | Get-ADUser Where "enabled -eq 'true'" | Get-ADUser -Properties ('Mail')
This one returns ALL users from every domain
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Animal Shop A' | Get-ADUser -Filter "enabled -eq'true'" | Get-ADUser -Properties ('Mail')
Is my syntax wrong on both of them? If I just want to return values from say "Animal shop A" and then "Animal Shop B"
.. or a little bit shorter this way:
Get-ADUser -Filter 'enabled -eq $true' -Properties mail |
Select-Object -Property Name,samaccountname,mail
Besides this I would recommend to use a -SearchBase. That's less stressful for the AD. ;-)
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties mail | Where { $_.Enabled -eq $True} | Select Name,samaccountname,mail
That will get all enabled users in your target domain that are enabled and display the name, username, and mail properties
Important to know for both commands:
You must work with an elevated powershell process.
Otherwise the result may not be complete.
get-aduser -filter 'enabled -eq "true"' -ResultSetSize $Null
simply try below commands in powershell as administrator permission.
As a guide, the first part will filter users, second part filtered enabled users and last part will give you export of results.
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property Enabled | Where-Object {$_.Enabled -like “false”} | Export-Csv -Path C:\eport.csv -Encoding ascii -NoTypeInformation
hope to be useful for you.
I'm in the process of cleaning up my inherited Domain Admins group and remove service accounts that are no longer needed. I'm trying to pull the group membership of the Domain Admins group and feed it into a Get-ADUser, with little success.
$name = Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | select -ExpandProperty Name
Foreach-Object {
Get-ADUser -Filter { Name -Like "$name"} -Properties * | FT Name, LastLogonDate
}
If I run the Get-ADGroupMember by itself it works. If I run the Get-ADUser with a name from the list (instead of the $name variable) it works. But when I attempt to tie them together it does not work.
I am glad you were able to make it work but I would like to offer some advice. First don't use -Properties * when all you really needed was LastLogonDate. You are pulling more data than you need to. Also you don't even need the ForEach loop since Get-Aduser will accept the pipeline input very nicely.
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | Get-ADUser -Properties LastLogonDate |
Select Name,LastLogonDate
or if you really want console output, as supposed to standard output
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | Get-ADUser -Properties LastLogonDate |
Format-Table Name,LastLogonDate -AutoSize
Thanks #EBGreen, your comment pointed me in the right direction. I am able to get what I need with the following:
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | select -ExpandProperty SamAccountName | % {
$name=$_
Get-ADUser $_ -Properties *
} | FT Name, LastLogonDate -AutoSize
