How to jump to the next an Active Directory User within a ForEach statement ?
Posted on 2013-01-02
Hello,
I have a foreach statement that queries/reads AD users and prompts some questions while querying the AD. If there is a question that answers No, it will have to jump to the next user.
code:
$ad = Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties sAMAccountName,sn,givenNam
foreach ($AD_User in $ad) {
if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn)
{
#Write-Host "BINGO FOUND IT"
#Ask Questions
$RightWrong = Read-Host 'NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N)'
#I AM STUCK HERE...
if $RightWrong -eq "N" {
#It needs to jump to the next AD user and Ask questions
}
}
Thanks for your help,

Yes it will.. If you are looking to go to next value in loop itself then try..
if ($RightWrong -eq "N") {$foreach.moveNext() | Out-Null}
Active 5 days ago
hmm, it did not move to the next AD user, it kept the same value or AD User found on the if statement.
if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn) {....}
if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn) {....}

By the way this is all related to my previous questions, it is like a mini application but with poweshell.
I think you have to place the second IF statement outside the first one.. Try this..
foreach ($AD_User in $ad) {
if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn)
{
#Write-Host "BINGO FOUND IT"
#Ask Questions
$RightWrong = Read-Host 'NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N)'
}
if ($RightWrong -eq "N") {[void]$foreach.moveNext()}
}

Same thing,
Result:
======== FOUND THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEE IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY ========
LASTNAME: Silveira
FIRST NAME: Rodrigo

TELEPHONE NUMBER: 303-333-3333
EMPLOYEE ID:
EMPLOYEE NUMBER:

NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N): n
#The following comes after the following code:

# #break
# [void]$foreach.moveNext()
# Write-Host "LASTNAME: $($AD_USER.sn)"

}
#Same user as == FOUND THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEE IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY ======== section
LASTNAME: Silveira
FIRST NAME: Rodrigo
NOTE: Is the EMPLOYEE Information FOUND In ACTIVE DIRECTORY CORRECT AGAINST The EMPLOYEE Information FOUND In the File? (Y/N): PS C:\scripts\AD>

BTB there will be only one user which match condition $file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn right? It yes.. Ideally the script should exit if you input "N". Please correct me if I am wrong in my assumption..

Correct. The result of that of IF is, 1, True.
But think about that can be more than one User with a lastname Silveira.

Write-Host here will not write the next user, if will just write the same user which is in pipeline..
It would be better if you can post the complete code..

Did you get any error for the code which I suggested? or is it not working as expected?
And regarding PS 3.0 if bug, If I am not wrong It only fails if the closing curly brace comes in same line with if keyword..

I think I am going to give up for this part using powershell. :( I will do this first part of the project in C# then the second part in powershell.
I Actually tried Elseif in PS 3.0 and it's working for me.. I will take a close look at your code as soon as I get some time..:-)
