Can I Modify ADSI with Powershell???

Hello. I'm trying to script adding additional UPN suffixes using Powershell
but can't seem to find a way to do it. I've found vb scripts that show
appending data into the partition table in AD, but nothing for Powershell.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are others out there, as well as some discussion in this newsgroup, you
might want to try searching the archives.

Can you post a link to a VBscript example & I'll see if I can convert it

This should do it for you. It worked for me

function Add-USNSuffix{
Param($usn)
$root = [ADSI]"LDAP://rootDSE"
$conf = [ADSI]"LDAP://cn=partitions,$($root.configurationNamingContext)"
$conf.uPNSuffixes += $usn
$conf.psbase.commitchanges()
}

Thanks. So I just set the $usn variable in the formula below correct? Do I
need to set the rootDSE or does it find it itself?

It should "find itself" but if it does not you can use the full path
$root = [ADSI]"LDAP://My.Domain.Name/rootDSE"

I tried this, but it never updates anything. I tried a test scripts that
looks like this:

Param($usn)
$usn = "test.com"
$root = [ADSI]"LDAP://rootDSE"
$conf = [ADSI]"LDAP://cn=partitions,$($root.configurationNamingContext)"
$conf.uPNSuffixes += $usn
$conf.psbase.commitchanges()

Nothing gets modified though. Any suggestions?

I've got it working now. I used this instead:

$usn = "test.com"
$root = [ADSI]"LDAP://rootDSE"
$conf = [ADSI]"LDAP://cn=partitions,$($root.configurationNamingContext)"
$conf.uPNSuffixes += $usn
$conf.SetInfo()

Thanks for the help!

Dan,

f.y.i.

Brandon did make it into a function for easy of use, after loading this
function one, you can just run this function with the new USN name.
e.g. in your case this would loook like :

Add-USNSuffix test.com

it's was not ment or needed to add the USN name hardcoded

h.t.h.
