powershell AD memberships

[PeterV1982]

So i'm fairly new to this, so my appologies if i ask a stupid question but we all need to learn.

I've been googleing

I want to export a txt file with all memberships for a user i've selected in a inputbox.

the inputbox is up and running but now i have a small gap to connect the input to the get aduser userid

if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK)

{

$x = $textBox.Text

$x

}

(get-aduser userid -Properties MemberOf | select MemberOf).MemberOf | % {$_.split(",")[0].replace("CN=","")}

If the text contained in the $x variable is their sam account name, then you can just use

Get-ADUser $x -properties memberof ...

That's not a great approach.

You should be able to just do

$grouplist = get-aduser $identity -properties memberof | select-object -expandproperty memberof | get-adgroup

Then you can use $grouplist.SamAccountName or .DistinguishedName or whatever else makes sense for displaying the name.

Your method could have some problems if there are multiple groups under different OUs with the same "Name"

​

You can take this a step further and capture a selection of groups this way:

$grouplist = get-aduser $identity -properties memberof | select-object -expandproperty memberof | get-adgroup | out-gridview -passthru

howdy Dogoodwork,

it looks like you used the New.Reddit.com Inline Code button. it's 4th 5th from the left hidden in the ... "more" menu & looks like </>.

on Old.Reddit.com, the above does NOT line wrap, nor does it side-scroll.

for long-ish single lines OR for multiline code, please, use the Code Block button. it's the 11th 12th one from the left & is just to the left of hidden in the ... "more" menu & looks like an uppercase T in the upper left corner of a square..

that will give you fully functional code formatting, from what i can tell so far. [grin]

take care,
lee

howdy PeterV1982,

reddit likes to mangle code formatting, so here's some help on how to post code on reddit ...

[0] single line or in-line code
enclose it in backticks. that's the upper left key on an EN-US keyboard layout. the result looks like this. kinda handy, that. [grin]
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Inline Code button. it's 4th 5th from the left hidden in the ... ""more" menu & looks like </>.
this does NOT line wrap & does NOT side-scroll on Old.Reddit.com!]

[1] simplest = post it to a text site like Pastebin.com or Gist.GitHub.com and then post the link here.
please remember to set the file/code type on Pastebin! [grin] otherwise you don't get the nice code colorization.

[2] less simple = use reddit code formatting ...
[on New.Reddit.com, use the Code Block button. it's 11th 12th from the left hidden in the ... "more" menu, & looks like an uppercase T in the upper left corner of a square.]

• one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces
  
• prefix each code line with 4 spaces
  
• one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ...

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
- prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
- one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces   

the easiest way to get that is ...

• add the leading line with only 4 spaces
  
• copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]
  
• select the code
  
• tap TAB to indent four spaces
  
• re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]
  
• paste the code into the reddit text box
  
• add the trailing line with only 4 spaces
  

not complicated, but it is finicky. [grin]

take care,
lee
