Hi All,
I am new to powershell. I have a list of about 400 users which needs to be disabled. What I want to do (as per our process):-
1) Search for all account where samaccountname starts with HP
2) Disable them
3) Add zzz as prefix to the samaccountname ( e.g zzzhpabc)
4 And set the account expiry date to the current date.

After spending about half day on google i only managed to do below:-

Get-user -Resultsize Unlimited | Where-Object {$_.sAMAccountName -like "hp*"} | Select-Object Name, SamAccountName, Email,  |export-csv c:\disablechange.csv

i also tried to pipe the below with the above command to add zzz but didnt worked.

Set-User -identity $_ -SamAccountName ($_.SamAccountName+ 'zzz')

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

PS :- we do not have QA commandlets.
Cheers

Ash

I have similar questions as well. Can anyone shed some light on how to do it with quest cmdlets. Thanks

Try:

get-qaduser -includedproperties samaccountname,accountexpires -ldapfilter '(samaccountname=hp*)' | foreach{$_.samaccountname = "zzz$($_.samaccountname)";$_.accountexpires = (get-date);$_.commitchanges()}

I edited my previous post but just in case you are getting this via email here is the corrected version


get-qaduser -includedproperties samaccountname,accountexpires -ldapfilter '(samaccountname=hp*)' | foreach{$_.samaccountname = "zzz$($_.samaccountname)";$_.accountexpires = (get-date);$_.commitchanges()}

oops forgot to disable:

get-qaduser -includedproperties samaccountname,accountexpires -ldapfilter '(samaccountname=hp*)' | foreach{$_.samaccountname = "zzz$($_.samaccountname)";$_.accountexpires = (get-date);$_.commitchanges();disable-qaduser $_.distinguishedName}
