Powershell and Active Directory Part 3/4 Get TS info

Back again with a new post in the Powershell and Active Directory series of posts. Remember when I said I will show you how to work with attributes that are not schema attributes? By default you can do a $var.schemaatrributename like $user.name or $user.DistinguishedName. This is not possible for for example the TerminalServiceHomeDrive attribute because this strange enough is not a schema attribute.

We start with were we left of in the Powershell and Active Directory Part 2/4 post. I will repeat the script blocks but for help on these read that post!

After that we continue with the get TerminalServicesProfile atrributes which are not in the schema.

Variables Part 2

$TARGETOU = “OU=Users,dc=Bladiebla,dc=COM”
$ADSCOPE = “SUBTREE”
$strFilter = “(&(objectCategory=User))”

AD Searcher

$objOU = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(”LDAP://$TARGETOU“)
$ADSearcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
$ADSearcher.SearchRoot = $objOU
$ADSearcher.PageSize = $ADSIZE
$ADSearcher.Filter = $strFilter
$ADSearcher.SearchScope = $ADSCOPE

AD Search Result

$ADResults = $ADSearcher.FindAll()

foreach ($ADResult in $ADResults)
{
$u = $ADResult.Properties
$u

AD User Object

    $user = [ADSI]“LDAP://$($u.distinguishedname)”

Make sure you notice that we did not close the loop with the }.

Variables

$ALLOWLOGON = 1
$TSHOMEDRIVE = “H:”
$ALLProperty = “allowLogon”,”TerminalServicesHomeDirectory”

So now we can create the variables we are going to use in the next part of the Script

The variables we can use for the Terminal Services Profile Tab are

• “allowLogon”
• “TerminalServicesHomeDirectory”
• “TerminalServicesHomeDrive”
• “TerminalServicesProfilePath”

Get Information

   $ouuser = $user.psbase.get_parent()

$user2 = $OUUSER.psbase.get_children().find(“CN=$($user.name)”)
foreach ($property in $ALLProperty)

{
“$($Property) value: $($user2.psbase.invokeget($Property))”
}
}

In this part of the script we are going to extract the information from the Active Directory. What you can do here is for example create a variable with the value of the TerminalServicesHomeDrive. I used this for migrating the TS Home Drive to another location. In the next part of this blog series I will show you how to change these values.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me by e-mail or comments.

For now greetings and please come back later for the next part.
