Hello!
I have 2 Questions:
1:
How can i get the distinguished Name of the logged on User in a variable? I
need this for our new LogonScript which will be written in Powershell.

2:
How can i get all groupmemberships of a User, including nested Groups?
If it is possible, i don't want to use the tool "ifmember.exe".


Thanks for your help!

Lothar

Question 1.

$root = [ADSI]"LDAP://dc=es,dc=gasnatural,dc=com"
$userWMI = Get-WmiObject win32_ComputerSystem
$user = $userWMI.UserName
$user = $user.split("\")[1] #in case you have a domain logon, just get
the name
$searchAD = new-object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher($root)
$searchAD.PageSize = 10000
$searchAD.Filter = "(`&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=$($user)))"
$searchResult = $($searchAD.FindAll()).getDirectoryEntry()
$userDN = $searchResult.distinguishedName

Hello!

Why -1?

DOMAIN\User
[0] \ [1]

isn't it?

"#in case you have a domain logon, just get the name"
#in case you don't have a domain logon, just get the name

If there is no \ in $user, split("\")[1] should give you nothing.
The -1 should give you the last array element which should be the user
name whether there is a "\" or not.
