Comparing a CSV against Active Directory - Powershell not working right

Hi All! I've been working on this script for quite a while and I seem to have run into a roadblock where I just cannot figure out what is going wrong. It's likely something to do with my $Userfound statement but I'm not sure how to fix it, so I am turning to the Spiceworks community to help. I am relatively new to Powershell so please keep that in mind.

Guide to enabling/configuring Bitlocker via Group Policy (in a domain)

Since I cannot seem to find a single guide that fully shows me how to set up and configure Bitlocker in a domain with recovery keys backed up, I thought I would put this guide here to try and save others some time if they ever find themselves in a similar position.

So... Let's say you have an environment with 150+ employees. All their laptops (which are company owned/managed) have previously not had any Bitlocker on. They were all imaged via an ImageX/WDS deployment using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.

Later on, you want to roll out Bitlocker to all these laptops, ideally with minimal physical intervention. Group policy sounds like the way!

One of the first things you notice when looking at the group policy options is... There's no 'Enable Bitlocker' policy. You can specify the parameters but not actually turn it on... This is where the...

Using tab-completion in the scripting environment

Everyone who has worked in the ISE, VSCode, or any other PowerShell-aware scripting environment is aware of tab-completion. You type some code, hit [Tab] and the ISE will show you a list of viable items that you might be looking for.

In the console, too

The console does this too. Keep on hitting [Tab] and you'll move through the available items which might complete the bit of code you started.

Selecting from a list of auto-complete options in the console!

Now, did you know that if you run the straight console, not the ISE, you can also get a really cool list of predicted objects/cmdlets, etc., from which you can navigate through using...

Updating an a existing csv with data from AD

Using this script from JitnSh I am able to loop through a csvand determine what security groups the user is a member of.

Powershell
$imported=Import-CsvE:\bin\Active020119.csv$output=foreach($iin$imported){Get-ADUser$i.username-PropertiesDisplayName,memberof|Foreach{New-ObjectPSObject-Property@{UserName=$_.DisplayNameGroups=($_.memberof|Get-ADGroup|Select-ExpandPropertyName)-join","}}$output|SelectUserName,Groups|Sort-Object-PropertyName|Export-CsvC:\results-NoTypeInformation

I want to take this a bit further and check.

1) does the user exist in a specific security group

2) And if that is YES then write YES back a new column in the original csv.

I was attempting to do this with -InputObject in the Export-Csvbut I cant do that when using a pipe to Export-Csv

WinRM/Kerberos - Test-CauSetup -Hostname Failing -FQDN Working

When I run Test-CauSetup -ClusterName "HVClstr" -Credential $cred (Tried this with and without explicate credentials) the below appears

WARNING: Connecting to remote server HV1 failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occurred while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer HV1. Verify that the computer exists on the network and that the name provided is spelled correctly.

When I use "Enter-PSSession" and connect via hostname it fails but when I use the FQDN it works.

When I enable CredSSP and connect via "Enter-PSSession" it works both ways but CAU does not.

Is there anyway to have the CAU test use the FQDN instead of the host name or am I missing something else in my config?

So I've discovered that WMI is going to be deprecated so I'm trying to convert my old uses of Get-WMIObject to Get-CimInstance. The issue is, for example, if I try this:

Powershell

This basically just gets the drive letter of any USB device connected and if I were to swap out every "WmiObject" with "CimInstance", it will still work. I really am not sure if I should rely on it just working or if...

Powershell foreach on multiple csv headers

Hello,

Can someone help with the below; -

I'm using PowerShell to run through a list of users in multiple security groups from a CSV file. Each security group is listed as the "header" in the CSV file and then the users that are supposed to be in them groups are listed underneath each header.

How can I run through each header and process each user that's underneath that header?

I've tried importing a txt that contains all the group names and then running a foreach loop through the txt file, but then when I use another foreach loop underneath for the users, it will only pull back the first header name.

Hey all,

I'm trying to query AD and get a list of users in a certain group and starting with certain letters in the description.

This is my first attempt at powershell to solve anything and I feel like I'm close but am missing something.

I've used this to get the description part and it works fine, but I cannot find how to add a filter for a group that they are a member of.

Powershell
get-aduser-filter{(Description-like"abc*")}

This did not work, it gave me a after entering.

Powershell
get-aduser-filter{(Description-like"abc*")-and(memberof-like"group")}

Also tried this.

Powershell
get-aduser-filter'Description -like "abc*",MemberOf -like "group"'

I only want to query members in a certain group that start with abc in the description, it's driving me nuts here, any help is greatly appreciated.

Powershell CSV data without specifying headers as variable

Hi,

Is there anyway way to do the following; -

Import CSV

Grab all header names from CSV

Count how many items are in each column

Run a foreach loop on column based on the count

Basically, I have a large CSV containing Active Directory security groups, and then under each header are the users that are in meant to be in the security groups.

I have tried first importing the CSV and then trying to use Get-Member to pull back the header names and filter each column based on that, but this will only bring back the first header name

Then I tried importing the headers first, using a foreach loop on that and then bringing the CSV into the loop and trying to filter the headers based on this. But this hasn't worked either.

Then I tried running a foreach loop on the headers, and then adding a nested foreach loop to bring in the csv file so I could match...

anyone good in powershell? i have the above powershell script. i would like to whitelist a few hostname but the if else statement will get longer if there is more hostname.

any way to define a list of hostname in $whitelisthostname variable then if else statement will do a check of the array of hostname so that don't need to reinput the hostname into the if else statement.
