Hey guys,
So I need a script that runs on a client machine to get the person's username and then, based on that, his OU in AD. This is what I have thus far:
$username=$env:USERNAME
$pathOutUser="C:\Scripts\UsAer_Logger\Output\userTemp\$username.txt"
$userProperties=Get-ADUser $username
Add-Content $pathOutUser $userProperties
$userPath = Resolve-Path "C:\Scripts\UsAer_Logger\Output\userTemp\$username.txt"
if (Test-Path $userPath)
{
$txt=[IO.File]::ReadAllText($userPath)
$userParse = [regex]::Match($txt,'OU=(.*)').Groups[1].Value
}The output of Get-AdUser $username looks like this:
DistinguishedName : CN=Alexander Bazzi,OU=IT,OU=Coral Gables,OU=US,DC=corp,DC=aersale,DC=comEnabled : True
GivenName : Alexander
Name : Alexander Bazzi
ObjectClass : user
ObjectGUID : 96b6b7a2-03d1-4275-b6dc-9239a2774275
SamAccountName : abazzi
SID : S-1-5-21-3137774707-1406588056-219970087-3909
Surname : Bazzi
UserPrincipalName : abazzi@corp.aersale.com
What I need is a way to parse through this text and get the OU of the user (IT, in this case). Am I in the right track? How would you do it? Is there a way to do it in the pipe, without having to save the table to a text file and then read it?
Many thanks in advance,
Alex
