PowerShell - Limit the search to only one OU
- by NirPes
Ive got this cmdlet and I'd like to limit the results to only one OU:
Get-ADUser -Filter {(Enabled -eq $false)} | ? { ($_.distinguishedname -notlike '*Disabled Users*') }
Now Ive tried to use
-searchbase "ou=FirstOU,dc=domain,dc=com"
But if I use -SearchBase I get this error:
Where-Object : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'searchb
ase'.
At line:1 char:114
+ Get-ADUser -Filter {(Enabled -eq $false)} | ? { ($_.distinguishedname -notli
ke '*Disabled Users*') } -searchbase <<<< "ou=FirstOU,dc=domain,dc=com"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Where-Object], ParameterBi
ndingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Comm
ands.WhereObjectCommand
What Im trying to do is to get all the disabled users from a specific OU, BUT, there is an OU INSIDE that FirstOU that I want to exclude: the "Disabled Users" OU.
as you might have guessed I want to find disabled users in a specific OU that are not in the "Disabled Users" OU inside that OU.
my structure:
Forest
FirstOU
Users,groups,etc...
Disabled Users OU
