Vista - AD Changes and Looping

Hey guys, love the site. Finally, there's a fine community of Powershellers that can support this developing product! Inspired in part by MOW's fine blogs about Active Directory, I have a question about scripting for AD. Is it possible to search through a specific CN in my AD, change all of the users's TerminalservicesHomeDrive and TerminalservicesHomeDirectory who reside in that CN, and then migrate those home directories to a new location using something like Robocopy? I have a script that does this in VB, but I would like to code one in MSH. Keep up the good stuff, guys.

Yes, thanks to some help, i did NEARLY the same thing to enable my
TerminalServer bit for all users (since i use GPO to restrict terminal server
access)

(Begin Code)
$root = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
@($root.get_children().find('ou=users,ou=org').get_children()) |
foreach-object {$_.InvokeSet("AllowLogon",1) ; $_.CommitChanges }
(End Code)

In your case, its .InvokeSet("TerminalServicesHomeDrive,"z:\Dir")

Also, you might also add another piece or two to also migrate the data from
one directory to another in the form

Object search | foreach-object {var =propertyget ; propertyset; commit ;
copy filefrom var to new location }

Or some such logical view. Notice you need to get the previous location in
order to get your to and from locations. It's not a complete answer but i
bet you can fill in the blanks from here.

@ JMacWildFan06,

Nice to here that my blog got you going,

I will post the 3th part tomorrow, (a bit later as it is Hot in the
Netherlands for a change ;-) and had a dinner tonight)it will talk about
the Terminal Services properties also, and in following part I also will
talk about the DirectorySearcher for if you need more granular control
about the Users affected as a whole OU.
I already have some samples :

http://mow001.blogspot.com/2006/03/w...-part-one.html
http://mow001.blogspot.com/2006/04/l...-in-monad.html

and here you can find a good entry using a directorysearcher

http://pcmusings.spaces.msn.com/blog/cns!42B71883C19FDDAE!263.entry?_c11_blogpart_blogpart=blogview&_c=blogpart#permalink

I will look into a example that makes also the directories
that and Darens example should get you going.

@ Daren Daigle

nice example.

Greetings /\/\o\/\/

Nice example there, Daren. I've had that in my MSH favorites for awhile because it was nice and detailed for what you set out to do. /\/\o\/\/, keep up the good posts on the blog. Your site is probably the best resource for MSH I've seen so far. It's given me the most information to make some real fascinating and effective scripts with MSH.

I've got a follow up question to my original post, with some more detail and procedural stuff. I have this group in AD, which is: LDAP://cn=GG_Migration_Users,ou=App_Groups,dc=subxxx,dc=xxx,dc=com

This CN group contains all of the users that need to have their TermServices profile paths and home drives changed. The old path looks like: \\server_old\program_path\[userid] and the new path would be: \\windows2k3box\[userid].

Obviously, both the old and the new path are similar in the fact that the UNC path routes to a folder with their user ID as the name. Is it possible to search through this CN group of users to determine which users still have the old path (as there is a mix of new and old paths), then change the TermServ home directory path for only those users?

Thanks,
for your question something like this ? (by head)

$OU.get_children |? {$_.invokeget('TerminalServicesHomeDrive') -eq
"z:\$($_.SamAccountname)"} |%
{$_.InvokeSet('TerminalServicesHomeDrive',"y:\$($_.SamAccountname)");$_.Commitchanges()}

Oops the group that would be :

$group.member |% { New object
directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://$_")} |?
{$_.invokeget('TerminalServicesHomeDrive') -eq
"z:\$($_.SamAccountname)"} |%
$_.InvokeSet('TerminalServicesHomeDrive',"y:\$($_.SamAccountname)");$_.Commitchanges()}

/\/\o\/\/,
When I first tried the code from your second post, I got an unexpected } in the expression. I assume it was the last } you had in your code, so I removed it and ran it again. When I did it again, it said this...

cmdlet ? at command pipeline position 2
Supply values for the following parameters:
FilterScript:

I'm not sure what to do here, but I think something isn't quite right. Is that so?

Sorry I did this by head I was missing the opening { in the second
foreach (before $_.invokeSet) :

$group.member |% { New object
directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://$_")} |?
{$_.invokeget('TerminalServicesHomeDrive') -eq
"z:\$($_.SamAccountname)"} |%
{$_.InvokeSet('TerminalServicesHomeDrive',"y:\$($_.SamAccountname)");$_.Commitchanges()}

Is this supposed to be in addition to Daren's script or a new one all together? If it is its own script, I got the same...
cmdlet ? at command pipeline position 2
Supply values for the following parameters:
FilterScript:
... problem I had before.

It stands on his own, but $group must be a DirectoryEntry Object filled
with the right Group.

as I see position 2 in the error I think there is a false newLine
somewhere, as I typed it over on my laptop and it did work.
try removing all linebreaks.
