Hi,
long story short, i am the only one in my department with more than a little knowledge of Powershell, but its not much. most recently I have been sent lists of computers(some that dont exist in Active Directory any more) that need to be added/removed
to a cpr-deploy group... i got this part down. There is one feature i would like to add to my script but Im not sure where to start.
What I would like to add, is for the script to run and also create a text file or csv file with the results.. EX:
Added to Deploy group Successfully
Comp1
Comp2
Comp3
....
Already has Group Membership
Comp4
Comp5
Comp6
Computer not in AD
Comp7
<# This script must be used in a particular fashion because of the way it is written #>
<# Paste this script in the Script Pane of PowerShell ISE #>
<# This script presupposes that you have two files created on your computer: #>
<# "C:\Scripts\pcs.txt" and "C:\Scripts\groups.txt" #>
<# If you desire for these text files to be in a different location, I reccommend keeping them on your C: drive #>
<# This first section opens your text file and prompts you to add the pc namess to the text file #>
<# Make sure there are no spaces, or extra tabs or lines; this would cause the script to fail #>
<# Press enter after you have sanitized the list, saved the list, and closed the file #>
A:\PoSh.tools\pcs.txt
Write-Host ""
Write-Host ""

Write-Host "**********************************************************************************************************************"
Write-Host "Enter Computer Names into the text file, remove unneeded spaces or lines, save the file, and close the file" -foregroundcolor "green"
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to continue"
<# This first section opens your text file and prompts you to add the AD Groups to the text file #>
<# Make sure there are no spaces, or extra tabs or lines; this would cause the script to fail #>
<# Press enter after you have sanitizedthe list, saved the list, and closed the file #>
A:\PoSh.Tools\groups.txt
Write-Host "**********************************************************************************************************************"
Write-Host "Enter groups into the text file, remove unneeded spaces or lines, save the file, and close the file" -foregroundcolor "green"
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to continue"
<# This creates variables of the content of the text files #>
$pcs = Get-Content -Path A:\PoSh.Tools\pcs.txt
$groups = Get-Content -path A:\PoSh.Tools\groups.txt
<# This does all of the work #>
<# -Confirm:$false so that you dont have to confirm it 2000 times #>
$pcs | ForEach-Object {Get-ADComputer $_ | Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -MemberOf $groups -Confirm:$false}
<# Clears the text files after use; this is not needed for the script to run properly #>
Clear-Content -Path A:\PoSh.Tools\pcs.txt
Clear-Content -Path A:\PoSh.Tools\groups.txt
Write-Host "Task Complete" -ForegroundColor "green"
I have a few different variations of this script also for removing groups and also adding/removing users. and the script looks identical with the exception of a few words, so if possible I would like to add this new feature without changing to much.
I would like to add it to this so that I can report back to my superiors or whoever may need it how many computers have been added/removed and which ones are non existant
any help/guidance/solutions you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
