如何使用Powershell在Active Directory中添加用户

Question

I am new to powershell and trying to add user in active directory using powershell, but for some reason I cannot tab complete on New-Ad for active directory, I have tried on windows 7 client with admin right also on DC itself. Can some one please help also what would be the code to do that?

Answer 1

Apologies non of the code is formatted nicely and only has terse comments. I hope it helps though.

The code below assumes you're on a non-DC server. Not sure if this will work on a client machine, like Windows 7.

Import the server manager module and add in remote AD features...

# import the server manager
Import-Module ServerManager

#add in remote AD features
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-powerShell,RSAT-AD-AdminCenter

#list PS providers (one of which should be ActiveDirectory)
Get-PSProvider

...this should give you intellisense, assuming you're on a version of PowerShell that has intellisense.

To create a new user...

#create a new user
New-ADUser –Name "John Smith" –SamAccountName "john.smith" –Description "Sales Manager" –Department "Sales" –EmployeeID "45896" –Path "ou=users,ou=sales,dc=test,dc=local" –Enabled $true

Some other code that I scribbled down electronically, when I needed to create and explore AD users.

#set location to AD
cd AD:

#list available options
dir

#explore the domain (replace DCNAME with domain)
cd 'DC=DCNAME,DC=local'

#back up
cd ..

#explore users (replace DCNAME with domain)
cd 'CN=Users,DC=DCNAME,DC=local'

#look at a user
Get-ItemProperty -Path "CN=Test ADUser1"

#find specific user
Get-ADUser "TestADUser10"

#find wildcard
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(SamAccountName=*Test*)"

#get help on the aduser command
Get-Help Get-ADUser -Full
