如何使用PowerShell在AD中移动用户？

Question

I'm in need of a little help. I've got little to no PowerShell experience but I'm working with a Pocket Guide by my side and my GoogleFu.

Currently, my plan is to prompt for a username and store it, use Get-ADUser with the stored username to get and store the DistinguishedName, use Move-ADObject to move the user from the DistinguishedName to the target path.

The problem I'm encountering is storing and calling these things. I have this, which gives me the info on a user. How can I isolate just the distinguished name and store it?

$name = read-host "Enter user name"
Get-ADUser $name

After storing the DN, can Move-ADObject use the stored value? I've attempted to store individual values like:

Move-ADobject 'CN=$name,OU=department,OU=company,DC=Domain,DC=net' -TargetPath 'OU=NonActive,OU=company,DC=Domain,DC=net'

But this returns "Directory object not found" as it doesn't use the stored value.

Answer 1

尝试这个：

Get-ADUser $name| Move-ADObject -TargetPath 'OU=nonactive,OU=compny,DC=domain,Dc=net'

Answer 2

Just an aside on this -

Powershell can't recognise variables such as $name when they're enclosed in single quotation marks as the shell treats such values as literal strings. Use double quotes to work with variables:

Eg. write-host '$name' would give the output $name , but write-host "$name" would return the value in the variable.

So Move-ADobject "CN=$name,OU=department,OU=company,DC=Domain,DC=net" -TargetPath 'OU=NonActive,OU=company,DC=Domain,DC=net' should work as expected. On the other hand, you will learn more interesting stuff by using the pipeline.

Answer 3

Only for your personal interest:

CB., doing the pipeline is passing an object. You, instead of using a string, should use an object with the command:

Move-ADObject
