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.

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

Find Specific commands in a loaded module in PowerShell.

 

Hi,

Today i am working with few cmdlets and loaded modules in powershell and then i need to find a cmdlet but rather then find it on whole loaded module i want to search it in to a specific module.

To find all cmdlets which have "ADD" word,   we may run this command.

 Get-Command -Name *add*

When we run the above command it list all cmdlets which have "ADD" in  them. but out target is to find all cmdlet  which have "Add" word in it  on in to a specific module, to achieve it just add -Module and a Module Name . simple 

Get-Command -Name *add* -Module ActiveDirectory 

Simple. Now it showing all cmdlets which have "Add" word. :)
