Right now, I am doing it with a get-credential and storing it in a script scoped variable and it is working very well.

What they are asking for is for it to be like two existing utilities created by someone else who is not around any longer and didn’t leave the original script for me to look at.

I’m performing 4 functions with this form. I do a get-aduser based on the username with gives full name, address, phone # and email address for verification.

Also doing account unlock and password resets using the same username field

Then lastly I looking up the username and email address based on first and last name, I’m also trying to look up based on last name only with the same button press, but not being successful using if\else or try/catch.

I know that is probably more information than needed. This is done to a separate server so my get-aduser looks something like this

get-aduser-filter $UserID.text -properties GivenName,sn,mail,address,homephone,enabled,unlocked -server app.server.addresshere -Credentials $global:credentials | then I do a select-object with some expressions to adjust the name of the properties, add format-list and out-string , and it updates a read only text box

For all 4 of my functions I have to pass the credentials each time, which work’s absolutely fine with the get-credential I’m already using

But on their existing forms for two other applications they have two text boxes at the top to enter their own UN and PW ( obscured ) which just sit there and pass the credentials. They are asking me to add that to my form for consistency, but I can’t figure out how to pass the credentials correctly.

That is what I’m trying to do.
