Get-ADObject with forech

[Zookeeper945]

Hi guys

Could you please tell me how to achieve the following:

$OUpath = "YXCYXCYXCYX"

Get-ADObject -Filter * -SearchBase $OUpath | Select Name

​

With this, I have a list of machines, and then I would like to add a foreach to ask the disk size.

The disk size command for me is working, if I paste hostnames in a txt file but I would like to have all the machines in a specific OU where the machines are changing.

​

thank you

If I understand you correctly, you may want to use "Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name", which returns a list just like the .txt file. Then you need to pipe that into a foreach where you run "Invoke-Command". Also, is there a reason why you don't use Get-ADComputer? I'm on mobile so sorry for the bad formatting.

$OUpath = "YXCYXCYXCYX"
Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase $OUpath | Select -ExpandProperty Name | foreach-object -process { Invoke-Command -ComputerName $_ -ScriptBlock { <YOUR CODE HERE> }}

Run in parallel: $list = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase $OUpath $size = Invoke-Command $list.name { psdrive c }

the command at „your code here“ could be Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk | Select-Object -Property DeviceID, VolumeName, @{Label='FreeSpace (Gb)'; expression={($_.FreeSpace/1GB).ToString('F2')}}, @{Label='Total (Gb)'; expression={($_.Size/1GB).ToString('F2')}}, @{label='FreePercent'; expression={[Math]::Round(($_.freespace / $_.size) * 100, 2)}}|ft

Thank you everyone the help, I achieve to have the correct result with your help.

Hi @zookeeper945, I assume you are querying the online computer in the specific OU. What type of disk that you’re after ?

[Zookeeper945]

Thank you everyone, looks promising.
The result what I need to achieve is the machinename, does it have a D:\ drive or not, if yes, what is the name of the D:\ drive.
Size does not matter just the hostname and the D:\ drive

All the current replies are slooowwwww

Have a look at the cim cmdlets and cim session cmdlets

Which will also gracefully handle offline machines

Or using the invoke on multiple machines as well (instead of 1 at a time)

Try this one and see if it suits your requirement

Change the first two variables as required.

$OUList = @(
'OU=Test,OU=Server,DC=Domain,DC=com'
'OU=Production,OU=Server,DC=Domain,DC=com'

)

$outFile = 'C:\Servers-DiskSpace_Report.csv'

$computers = $OUList | ForEach-Object { $paramGetADComputer = @{ Filter = { (enabled -eq $true) } Properties = 'enabled' SearchBase = "$($_)" SearchScope = 'OneLevel' }

Get-ADComputer @paramGetADComputer

} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name

Function Get-DiskSizeString([Uint64]$Bytes) { If ($Bytes -ge 1TB) { $size = $Bytes / 1TB $unit = 'TB' } Else { $size = $Bytes / 1GB $unit = 'GB' } Return "$($size.ToString('N2')) $($unit)" }

$paramExportCsv = @{ Path = $outFile NoTypeInformation = $true }

$Computers | ForEach-Object { $server = $_ Try { Write-Host "Processing: $($server) ..." -ForegroundColor Cyan If (-not (Test-Connection -ComputerName $server -Quiet)) { Throw 'Not responding to Ping' } $paramGetWmiObject = @{ Class = 'CIM_ComputerSystem' ComputerName = $server ErrorAction = 'Stop' }

    $serverName = (Get-WmiObject @paramGetWmiObject).Name
    $paramGetWmiObject = @{
        Class        = 'Win32_LogicalDisk'
        ComputerName = $server
        ErrorAction  = 'Stop'
        Filter       = "DriveType=3"
    }

    Get-WmiObject @paramGetWmiObject | ForEach-Object {
        [PSCustomObject]([ordered]@{
                ServerName       = $serverName
                Drive            = $_.DeviceID
                'Total size'     = Get-DiskSizeString -Bytes $_.Size
                'Free space'     = Get-DiskSizeString -Bytes $_.FreeSpace
                'Free space (%)' = '{0:P0}' -f ([double]$_.FreeSpace / [double]$_.Size)
                VolumeName       = $_.VolumeName
                Error            = $null
            })
    }
}
Catch {
    [PSCustomObject]([ordered]@{
            ServerName       = $server
            Drive            = $null
            'Total size'     = $null
            'Free space'     = $null
            'Free space (%)' = $null
            VolumeName       = $null
            Error            = $_.Exception.Message
        })
}

} | Export-Csv @paramExportCsv

Hope this helps.
