使用Get-ADComputer cmdlet从OU获取计算机列表

Question

I´m struggling with getting a list of computers from a specific OU via the Get-ADComputer cmdlet. The OU contains only computers. I specify the OU where the computers are placed and then I try to filter the objects based on hostname.

I want to list all computers whose hostname begins with "PC100". No matter what comes after the second zero.

The code:

Get-ADComputer -SearchBase "OU=PC,OU=LAB,DC=test,DC=cz" -Filter * | Select-Object name | where -Property Name -Match "PC100*"

I went through plenty of articles but haven't figured it out yet. PowerShell doesn't return any error, it simply doesn't generate any output.

Answer 1

Try this one

Get-ADComputer -SearchBase "OU=PC,OU=LAB,DC=test,DC=cz" -Filter {Name -eq "PC100"} -Properties Name | Select-Object Name

This assumes that PC organizational unit is nested under LAB , and that the name of the computer is exactly PC100 . If you don't know the exact name and you know that it PC100 is part of the name, change it to -Filter {Name -like "*PC100*"}

And don't pull all properties when you don't need them, it can cause potential performance issues
