powershell script- need help-

Do you see the progress messages written to the PS console?

what do you meant by?

I'm confused by the following , may be I'm wrong

"OU=rti,OU=Depts,OU=Dept 58,OU=Users,DC=DC02,DC=contoso,DC=com"

our users folder is under> domain controller> dc02, domain name> contoso.com, OU-rti\Depts\users

please help me

Then "OU=Users,OU=Depts,OU=OU-rti,DC=DC02,DC=contoso,DC=com" should be correct. You need to go in reverse order if looking at the folder tree.

The script writes out some text messages to show progress - all lines with Write-Output. You should at least see some of them, depending on the correctness of OU etc.

is this correct?
OU=OU-rt

can we do remote session if possible?
I dont see its creating any list in the c:\temp\envoy2?
what to check?

this scrip is basically for envoy to sysnc up with AD

Well, maybe stating the way-too-obvious here, but for starters, the complete "$OUs" array with the OU names is still commented, so "foreach($ou in $OUS) {" will happily do exactly nothing.

Then to make sure you have the correct OU path, try it like this:
- Open the ADUC console, go to the OU that you want to sync, pick any user inside that OU, and open its properties.
- Go to the Account tab, make note of the "pre-Windows 2000" user logon name.
- Open a Powershell console, enter
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -Identity InsertTheUserNameFromAboveHere | Select Dist*
- From the DistinguishedName returned, discard everything until (but not including) the first "OU=" - this is the OU path you need.

When I'm done with this thread, is there any way to delete the code?

Please remove domain name and ou names

Great!! That's ok thanks a lot!!!

One more request- please change wherever you see- dco2, rti and envoy2

Thank u!

Hi Obda,

I followed your above instructions.
Result came out as> PS H:\> Import-Module ActiveDirectory
PS H:\> Get-ADUser -Identity username | Select Dist*

DistinguishedName
-----------------
CN=firstname lastname,OU=Users,OU=test - Doc 01,OU=Dept,OU=Market,DC=r...


Note: is this the correct OU path to be entered into the script? what to cxclude? under dc: Idont see domain, it is just with r and 3 dots. What does it mean. I'm missing dc=domaincontroller and dc=com too. Please advise me.

"maybe stating the way-too-obvious here, but for starters, the complete "$OUs" array with the OU names is still commented, so "foreach($ou in $OUS) {" will happily do exactly nothing."

what would be the exact syantex? I'm not a power shell coder. Please write me in detail.

This should give you the full path for the user, with anything until the first "OU=" to be discarded:

Get-ADUser -Identity username | Select -Expa Dist*

Select allOpen in new window

This is bit more complicated, but gives the you the path just as it needs to be used:

"OU=" + ((Get-ADUser -Identity username).distinguishedName -split ',OU=', 2)[1]

Select allOpen in new window

Put the result in line 13 in the script below.
One more error: In the script you posted, you removed a line break before the PROCESS (line 2), so the commented "$OUs" array and the OU search root aside, all the script ever did was to create a scriptblock, without actually executing anything of it.

If this still doesn't work with the correct OU path in it, post the original, unchanged, envoy-ad-sync.ps1.

Have a close look at lines 33-38 above.

I followed your instructions and ended with the following error-

PS C:\Windows\system32> # envoy-ad-sync.ps1
PS C:\Windows\system32> # for more information, visit https://help.envoy.com/act
ive-directory-integration/
PS C:\Windows\system32> PROCESS #This is where the script executes

   ception

Don't paste the script into a PS console. Save it as envoy-ad-sync.ps1 or Whatever.ps1 to test it.

I ran the way you said above- following error attached below- please let me know where to edit the script? it should be creating a .csv file but don't see yet? Thanks for your help.

Now run the envoy script again.

You are the best!! Kudos to oBdA!!
