Help with Get-ADUser PowerShell Command querying for TsAllowLogon

I don't know about the ldapfilter syntax, but this return the right users for me.

Get-ADuser -filter {msTSAllowLogon -eq $true}

Select allOpen in new window

This will get you users with the msTSAllowLogon not set

Get-ADuser -Properties msTSAllowLogon -Filter { mstsallowlogon -notlike "*" } -SearchBase $ou -SearchScope SubTree -ResultSetSize $null |
Select-Object Name,samAccountName |
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $("C:\results\" + $name + "TsAllowLogonFalse.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

And this will get you users with the msTSAllowLogon set to $false

Get-ADuser -Properties msTSAllowLogon -Filter { mstsallowlogon -eq $false } -SearchBase $ou -SearchScope SubTree -ResultSetSize $null |
Select-Object Name,samAccountName |
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $("C:\results\" + $name + "TsAllowLogonFalse.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

Obviously you can combine the filter if you want to get both user types exported

-Filter { mstsallowlogon -notlike "*" -or mstsallowlogon -eq $false }

Select allOpen in new window

The command runs, but does not return an results with "$true" or "$false"...

mstsallowlogon -eq $false

Select allOpen in new window

does not return results either way (even with true)

mstsallowlogon -notlike "*" 

Select allOpen in new window

seems to return all records

Hmmmm

I found the right syntax for the LDAPfilter is
Get-ADUser -ldapfilter "(msTSAllowLogon=FALSE)"
In this case "FALSE" (or "TRUE") is case-sensitive.  So changing your supplied command to

Get-ADUser -ResultSetSize $null -SearchBase $ou -SearchScope SubTree -LdapFilter "(msTsAllowLogon=FALSE)" | Select-Object Name,samAccountName | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $("C:\results\" + $name + "TsAllowLogonFalse.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

works for me.

Can you edit this line

Select-Object Name,samAccountName

to this:

Select-Object Name,samAccountName,msTSAllowLogon

Select allOpen in new window

Run the command again, and take a look at the value of msTSAllowLogon. Works for me.

Footech:
The command you supplies runs but nothing is returned...


Coraxal:
Nothing is return when I look at the msTsAllowLogon parameter.  I'm guessing there should be?

If that's true, then the problem must be with your environment or I'm misunderstanding what you want.  Do any of your users have the attribute set to FALSE?  If the attribute is not set, then accordingly the file should be blank.

What exactly are you trying to check?  Whether the attribute is set to FALSE, whether it is set at all, or what?

Trying to see what users have the option selected (Remote Desktop Service Profile > Deny this user permissions to log on to Remote Desktop Session Host server).  

Results come back blank when set to either TRUE or FALSE.

OK, we're talking about a different attribute here.  From what I recall, that doesn't exist as an actual attribute of a user in AD, but is pulled from some other source.  You can access it through the userParameters attribute which is basically a blob of information that includes the TerminalServicesHomeDirectory and TerminalServicesProfilePath.  I'm not certain how I'd access it using straight PowerShell (I know it involves using the adsi accelerator).  From what I understand, the Quest cmdlets include the functionality to change this ( http://ss64.com/ps/set-qaduser.html ), but I don't use them so I can't give you specific guidance.  If I have time I'll look into the straight PS method.

Thanks footech... really appreciate it!!
