That looks pretty cool!

Long file names can be a serious pain... for copy and backup reasons.

I recall a NTG client that used a long name for the directories,.. and it made updating nearly impossible Should follow the KISS method... Directory names don't need to be 120 characters long,.. and four deep.

@Pete-S It was on linux - ProFTPD

@JaredBusch : Awesome! Glad to hear it worked for you...

Here is the actual code in a more searchable context, sterilized for general use.

Very useful! Thanks!

@wrx7m said in PowerShell - Create New AD User Using Prompts and Variables:

If I get rid of the attempt to combine the 2 existing variables into a 3rd, I get this error.

New-ADUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '+'. At \\FP02\it\Scripts\AD\AD-InitialUserCreationVariables.ps1:5 char:1 + New-ADUser -Name "$GivenName $Surname" ` + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [New-ADUser], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.NewADUser

Like this I think:

New-ADUser -Name "$($GivenName) $($Surname)"`

They aren't in the ML community but special shoutout to Ariel Sanchez and Joe Houghes for this help. Somebody needs to get them into ML.

Turns out that it needed the -Credential flag, which Microsoft doesn't document as a requirement. This worked find...

Add-Computer -DomainName "mydomain" -Credential mydomain\myusername

The specific package adobereader is a horrible example though.

Because until this month, you installed adobereader-update which also installed adobereader first as part of the package.

But now, suddenly, adobereader is all that is needed.

The batch file I have for one client is this:

powershell Rename-Computer -NewName "COMPUTER_NAME" -DomainCredential DOMAIN\ADMINUser -Restart

Where COMPUTER_NAME to not exceed the 15 character limit

ETA:
I should add that this batch script start with installing Chocolatey package management tools, then the default applications,

Since I was working with only ONE user this is what I needed to change it to, else was getting Parameter set cannot be resolved

Import-module ActiveDirectory Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -eq "SomeUser"} -SearchBase "OU=Users,OU=OUGroup,DC=DOMAINname,DC=com" | Set-ADUser –scriptPath “\\SERVERNAME\netlogon\2018ADUC-script.txt”

But it worked!

This would work on prem exchange. Probably works with a tweak for o365.
Get-mailbox | get-inboxrule | remove-inboxrule

@penguinwrangler
Good work! I admit I would have been to lazy to go through all that. I would just have written a program to deal with it straight up instead instead of trying to use nix commands and scripting. Anything to avoid "escape hell" as I like to call it.

@dustinb3403 said in Getting PowerShell to provide me the EventLog details in an email:

Yup. . . I'm an idiot lol. I set it to only look back 1 day and email me those results within the past day.

This obviously would show blank results, since there are no 2013 events within the past day!

Ha ha ha. Whoops!

One that I love

Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity SOMEUSERNAME | Select name

List all of the groups in which the user is a member.
