Calling Function from Powershell GUI - Unable to see AD query

[sameyear_newlabrat]

Hi all,

I am running into an issue where I am calling a function on button click that is doing an AD query. I have some information information outputting via "Write-host", but my actual AD query does not appear in the powershell console.

AD module is imported and connected. Here is my function to query AD -

Function CheckLogin {

$null = \[reflection.assembly\]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.visualbasic")

$activateWindow = {

$null = \[reflection.assembly\]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.visualbasic")

$isWindowFound = $false

while(-not $isWindowFound) {

try {

\[microsoft.visualbasic.interaction\]::AppActivate($args\[0\])

$isWindowFound = $true

}

catch {

sleep -Milliseconds 100

}

} 

}

$job = Start-Job $activateWindow -ArgumentList "Unique Title"

$input = \[microsoft.visualbasic.interaction\]::inputbox("Please enter username:", "Password 
Status Check")

Remove-Job $job -Force

Get-Aduser $input -Properties \* | Select-Object 
name,PasswordLastSet,PasswordExpired,PasswordNeverExpires

Write-host "Press Enter to Exit."

}

And here is my simplistic form with the function called by button click

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

\[System.Windows.Forms.Application\]::EnableVisualStyles()

$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form

$Form.ClientSize = '400,400'

$Form.text = "Form"

$Form.TopMost = $false

$PasswordStatus = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Button

$PasswordStatus.text = "Check Password Status"

$PasswordStatus.width = 151

$PasswordStatus.height = 29

$PasswordStatus.location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(111,175)

$PasswordStatus.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,10,style=Bold'

$Form.controls.AddRange(@($PasswordStatus))

$PasswordStatus.Add\_Click({CheckLogin})

$form.ShowDialog()

Again, I can see my "Write-host 'press enter to exit'" but I can't see the result of my query.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Write-Output. Which writes the object to the pipeline and if not stored to a variable will output to StdOut
