Hello,

I am looking for a way to search by the title of student in AD and then from there find any accounts which have a space in the samaccountname, proxyaddresses, cn and then just remove the space I would like to do this for the entire domain.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I have tried the following:



#Add-PSSnapin Quest.ActiveRoles.ADManagement $AllOUs = Get-QADObject -Type organizationalUnit -SearchRoot "stockport.sch.uk/Schools" -SearchScope OneLevel foreach ($ou in $AllOUs) { $Users = Get-QADUser -sizelimit 0 -SearchRoot $searchroot | where {$_.title -match "student" -and $_.samaccountname -match "\s"} } If ($users -eq $null) {Write-Warning "No match found...!"} foreach ($user in $users) { Set-QADUser -id $user -samaccountname ($user.samaccountname -replace "\s") Set-QADUser -id $user -cn ($user.cn -replace "\s") Set-QADUser -id $user -proxyaddresses ($user.proxyaddresses -replace "\s") Set-QADUser -id $user -targetaddress ($user.targetaddress -replace "\s") }



However must be going through the students or something as I get lots of errors like:

Get-QADUser : The argument cannot be null or empty. At C:\removespaces.ps1:6 char:46 + $Users = Get-QADUser -sizelimit 0 -SearchRoot <<<< $searchroot | where {$_.t itle -match "student" -and $_.samaccountname -match "\s"} Get-QADUser : The argument cannot be null or empty. At C:\removespaces.ps1:6 char:46 + $Users = Get-QADUser -sizelimit 0 -SearchRoot <<<< $searchroot | where {$_.t itle -match "student" -and $_.samaccountname -match "\s"}

Then eventually I get:

WARNING: No match found...!

Followed by some more of the above errors and then it just stops.

Can anyone explain?

Many Thanks

James
