Hi all
The script below works perfectly fine, but I feel there is a better way to write it/condense it. We have a list of nearly 2,800 servers that we have to confirm which of the 8 domains they belong to. When I run this script from the root domain it checks against that domain and, if not a part of the root domain, then moves onto the first child domain, and then the next child domain, and so on.
-----------------------------------------------------------
$servers = Get-Content c:\scripts\servers.txt
foreach ($server in $servers){
If (test-connection $server){
write-host "Checking which domain $server is part of..."
try {
$a = Get-ADComputer -Identity $server
Write-Host "$server is member of rootdomain"
}
catch [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException] {
try {
$a = Get-ADComputer -Identity $server -server childdomain1
Write-Host "$server is member of childdomain1"
}
catch [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException] {
try {
$a = Get-ADComputer -Identity $server -server childdomain2
Write-Host "$server is member of childdomain2"
}
catch [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException]{
try {
$a = Get-ADComputer -Identity $server -server childdomain3
Write-Host "$server is member of childdomain3"
}
catch [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException]{
Write-Host "$server not found on any domain"
}
}
}
}
}Else{
Write-Host "$server not responding"
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------
That's a lot of Try/Catch when you have 7 child domains, so I was wondering if there was a way to check against multiple domains in a better way.
