检查DSQuery在PowerShell中是否成功？

Question

I'm trying to convert a batch script to PowerShell. I encountered this piece of code, can anyone tell me how to convert this to PowerShell?

dsquery ou -domain "$SysDomain" -name "$FuncOU,$DestOU" || (echo OU was not found & Goto :eof)

I want to do somnething like:

$dsq = dsquery ou -domain "$SysDomain" -name "$FuncOU,$DestOU"
if ($dsq.HasSucceeded -eq $true) {
    echo "OU was not found"
    exit
}

Answer 1

dsquery doesn't return an exit code, so I doubt that your batch command could ever have worked. Also, the command produces string output, not a process or job object, so there's no HasSucceeded property to check.

What you can do is check the output of the command that is collected in the variable $dsq . If the variable is empty, the command did not find a OU. PowerShell automatically interprets $null values as $false , so something like this should work:

$dsq = & dsquery ou ...
if (-not $dsq) {
    echo 'OU was not found.'
    exit 1
}

Side note: I recommend using the call operator ( & ) for running external commands, and returning an actual exit code when using the exit statement.
