Group Memberships of Users in Specific OU

Same basic code as the last question regarding group memberships from a specific group of users. please see code below for searching the ou structure via get-aduser. http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/10/30/powertip-single-line-powershell-command-to-list-all-users-in-an-ou.aspx

$users = get-aduser -filter * -SearchBase "ou=TestOU,ou=TestOU,dc=Domain,dc=com" | select -ExpandProperty Name

foreach ($user in $users){
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -identity $user | select Name | export-csv -NoTypeInformation -path c:\output\$user-Groups.csv}

Select allOpen in new window

Having an issue with  "$users = get-aduser -filter * -SearchBase "ou=Marked_for_Deletion,ou=Disabled_Users,dc=bhb,dc=bm"

Throws an get-aduser  : Directory object not found message

This would be the OU structure that you want to build, is there an OU called "Marked_for_Deletion"?

Yes

if you run the command below do you find the one you are looking for?

Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -filter * | select DistinguishedName

Select allOpen in new window

Yes I had them misplaced however, it is now saying that the string is missing a Terminator

Can you post the actual error?

Sure- PS C:\Users\adjustin.\Desktop> $users = get-aduser -filter * -SearchBase ou=Disabled_Users,ou=Marked_for_Deletion,dc=,dc=" | select -ExpandProperty Name

foreach ($user in $users){
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -identity $user | select Name | export-csv -NoTypeInformation -path c:\Users\adjustin.\desktop\$user-Groups.csv}
}
The string is missing the terminator: ".
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString

can you check the file path does the "adjustin" folder actually have a .? c:\Users\adjustin.

You are missing the " quotes on the beginning of the ou=Disabled. It should be like below...

$users = get-aduser -filter * -SearchBase "ou=Disabled_Users,ou=Marked_for_Deletion,dc=,dc=" | select -ExpandProperty Name

Will.

Good Catch Will, I glazed right over that once I saw the . in the file path!

Thanks Rich!

Question...I've written this script in Quest powershell

$Users = Get-Content .\JustinPowerScripts\DisabledUsers.csv | ForEach-Object {
  Get-QADUser $_ | Disable-QADUser | Remove-QADMemberOf  -RemoveAll  
  Start-Sleep -s 5
  Move-QADObject -identity $_ -to /Marked_for_Deletion/Disabled_Users
}

I need to combine the previous powershell script to get all the users group memberships into a csv and then remove them and disable the user will it work like that or will i need to rewrite?

if the rest of the script works then maybe try just adding the get-adprincipalgroupmembership into the above script.

$Users = Get-Content .\JustinPowerScripts\DisabledUsers.csv | ForEach-Object {
   Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -identity $user | select Name | export-csv -NoTypeInformation -path c:\output\$user-Groups.csv
   Get-QADUser $_ | Disable-QADUser | Remove-QADMemberOf  -RemoveAll  
   Start-Sleep -s 5
   Move-QADObject -identity $_ -to bhb.bm/Marked_for_Deletion/Disabled_Users
 }

Select allOpen in new window

Why do you require this using Quest cmdlets?

The difficult part I have already provided an answer for remove the security group memberships to all of the users in the OU. If you want to disable them after the group memberships have been removed just use the below script.

Import-Module activedirectory
$ADusers = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=testou,dc=domain,dc=com"
$FindGroups = get-aduser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=testou,dc=domain,dc=com" | Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership
ForEach ($user in $FindGroups) {
Remove-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $user -MemberOf $FindGroups -Confirm:$false
}

ForEach ($Account in $ADUsers) {
Set-ADuser -Identity $Account -Enabled $false
}

Select allOpen in new window

Will.

Will,

I doesn't really matter unfortunately i've only been learning with Quest and wasn't sure the trade over for Quest to Standard Powershell but i appreciate the help nonetheless.

Thanks Guys!
