asked on Script - PowerShell
Good afternoon,
I have the following doubt, I am creating a script to create a user in my Active Directory automatically with PowerShell ISE.
In the following script I want these two users to have the same password without having to type it twice, that is, when I am asked to enter the password for each user.
I want that at the moment of placing the password, I take it for these two users that I am creating as an example.
Someone who can guide me please.
Best regards.
$user = New-ADUser "Roberto"
$pwd = Read-Host "Ingresar Contraseña" -AsSecureString
$pwd = Set-ADAccountPassword Roberto -NewPassword $pwd
Enable-ADAccount Roberto
$user = New-ADUser "Rocio"
$pwd = Read-Host "Ingresar Contraseña" -AsSecureString
$pwd = Set-ADAccountPassword Rocio -NewPassword $pwd
Enable-ADAccount Rocio

And perhaps more efficient as a loop...
$pwd = Read-Host "Ingresar Contraseña" -AsSecureString
foreach ($username in @('Roberto','Rocio')) {
$user = New-ADUser $username
Set-ADAccountPassword $username -NewPassword $pwd
Enable-ADAccount $username
}

Good afternoon,
Thanks for clarifying my doubt, the script did work and I apply the same password to all users.
But now I'm trying to add a certain number of users to a new organizational unit but they give me certain errors, the users create them but outside the organizational unit, I would like to see if you can help me with this new doubt.
Attach the script to powershell.
$pwd = Read-Host "Ingresar Contraseña" -AsSecureString
foreach ($username in @('Johana','David')) {
foreach ($ouname in @('Calidad')) {
$user = New-ADUser $username
$ou = New-ADOrganizationalUnit $ouname
Set-ADAccountPassword $username -NewPassword $pwd
Enable-ADAccount $username
}
}
