PowerShell and Active Directory : Get the list of Active Directory Groups created of a Specific Date (v1).

 

In my previous post, I have written a script function, by using we can see the list of Active Directory Users those are created on a specific date.  This is just a same version of that script, instead showing the Active Directory users, it shows the list of Groups those are created on that specific day.

The usage is simple as the previous script, type the function name, provide the date to -Date parameter and  that's all.

PS C:\> Get-ADGroupCreated -Date 01/05/2015 

You can download the script from the below link.

PowerShell and Active Directory : Get the list of Active Directory Users created of a Specific Date.

 

If you are an I.T or System Administrator, then you must doing one thing for sure, getting the list of Active Directory users. Getting list of Active Directory users is very easy with PowerShell.

You just need to have “Active Directory PowerShell Module” and just shoot the Get-Aduser cmdlet. Simple!

A IT guy from Egypt ( Ahmad),  email me and ask me if he can get a list of Active Directory user that is created on a specific date? I said Yes, and then I think about to write this PowerShell Script function.

The usage of PowerShell function is very easy. Type the function name and in –Date parameter provide the Date on which you want to see if you have created any Active Directory user.

For example:

If you run the below code. It will give you list of all Active Directory User account those are created with-in 24 Hours of 17^th December 2014.

 

Get-ADUserCreated -Date 12/17/2014

HotFix Available: "One or more properties are invalid" error when you run the Get-ADUser Cmdlet" error on Windows 8.1

 

Quote of the Day - “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. :- Henry Ford”

You are an Administrator? And you also do use PowerShell, and also you are using Windows 8.1 with RSAT tool installed, and also using Active Directory module for manage Active Directory users and computers, then, I am sure you are familiar with this creepy error.

 

This error occurred when you use –Properties * either with “Get-AdUser” or with “Get-AdComputer”.

The most irritating part of this error is, if you want to see all properties of the user, you can’t.

 

One or more properties are invalid. Parameter name: msDS-AssignedAuthNPolicy

 

Yesterday, Microsoft has launched the “Hotfix for this bug!”{Actually I am not aware of that this a bug in  PowerShell.}

You can download the hotfix from this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2923122

After installing the hotfix, reboot your computer and run the above command again, and you will notice that “all is well again” in our world.

 

 

 So, install this hotfix ASAP!!!! ;o) .

Powershell and Active Directory : Find empty Active Directory Groups using Powershell.

Hi Everyone.

Finally i come back to India and it is always love to be at home.

My today’s task was to create a list of all empty active directory groups, all groups those are not having any members.

As you know, i don’t like to do the manual tasks, so i decided to use powershell to accomplished this.

Lets do it.

Import Active Directory module.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

Once, Active Directory Module is loaded, run the below command.

Get-ADGroup -Filter * -Properties Members  | where { -not $_.Members} | select Name

Now , this will give you the list of all empty groups.

Now we have two groups “*ASKLAILA” and “*Hello Sir” as a result of the above command.

Now lets cross-verified our result.

I hope you find this useful.

Thanks
