Hi guys,

(Get-QADUser sst446).MemberOf

this use is part of server groups, now i need to know if this user is part of a group with the character fsr-prs, so i tried this and it fails:

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | % { if (*fsr-prs*){echo "pass!" } }

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | % { if  ($_ -like "*fsr-prs*"){write-host "pass!" } }

Open in new window


Based on the output from get-qaduser we run a like match against it.

i;ve just got it to work!!!

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | % { if ($_  -like "*fsr-prs*"){echo "$_" } }

the result of $_ are:

 cn=dl-fsr-prs-eaf-pol....,ou=....., ,ou=...
 cn=dl-fsr-prs-eaf-df....,ou=....., ,ou=...
 cn=dl-fsr-prs-eaf-ois....,ou=....., ,ou=...

the only bit i need fsr-prs-eaf and i need this in a variable. then i need to add this to antother variable with the text \\wm.ws.qre.ac.uk

and i want this to equal to  \\wm.ws.qre.ac.uk\fsr-prs-eaf\users\yew357

i then need to do a test-path \\wm.ws.qre.ac.uk\fsr-prs-eaf\users\yew357

please help!
This will write all groups that contain the string "frs-prs" that User1 is a member of.

get-qaduser User1| Get-QADMemberOf | ForEach-Object {if ($_.name.contains("frs-prs") -eq $true) {write-host $_.name }}

Open in new window

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | select -expand name  | % { if  ($_ -like "*fsr-prs*"){write-host "pass!" } }

Open in new window


So I do not have a test, but you can probably  do the above or make a split.

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | % { if  ($_ -like "*fsr-prs*"){$gval = $_.split(",") -replace "cn=","";write-host "pass!" } }

Open in new window

after this completes when i do a $gval[0] on powershell i get:

DL-FSR-PRS-EST-R

the only test i need is the prs-est

how do i split this again,

i then need to convert prs-est to prs\est and add \\wm.qw.ac.uk\fac & usr at the end, which would the equal to \\wm.qw.ac.uk\fac\prs\est\usr

please help!
if i do $gval[0].split("-")[1]

it gives me fsr,

i need the prs too! please help if put a 2 also therefore $gval[0].split("-")[1][2]

it gives me
just r
got it! its $gval[0].split("-")[1..3]

gives me

fsr
prs
est

now how do i put them in a \fsr\prs\est
i've got this far:

(Get-QADUser yew357).MemberOf | % { if  ($_ -like "*fsr-prs*"){$gval = $_.split(",") -replace "cn=","" }

$s=$gval[0].split("-")[1..3]

}
if writ this however only the group name appears when user is not in group instead i need the script to say that user aaw558 is not in group

(Get-QADUser aaw558).MemberOf | % { if  ($_ -like "*fsr-prs*"){$gval = $_.split(",") -replace "cn=","" }

else {echo "User $_ is not in a group"}

$s=$gval[0].split("-")[1..3]

}


please help!
$s values:

fsr
prs
est

now how do i put them in a \fsr\prs\est
