Lee Holmes, a lead dev on the PowerShell team, has Windows PowerShell
Cookbook, Second Edition. It's from O'Reilly. It was just available as of
last week.
Dude, it rocks.

On the other hand, if you want to understand the architecture, theory, and
implementation details behind PowerShell, you want Bruce Payette's book,
Windows PowerShell in Action, Second Edition. It's from Manning. Bruce is
also a member of the PowerShell team (co-designer of the language itself).

It also rocks; in a different way.

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] User offboarding and Powershell
Many thanks. I'm still getting to grips with Powershell and it's always
easier to learn from real-world examples than out of a book ;-)

Sure, why not. There's not a great deal to it really.
Expects employeeID as input, the assumption that it's a unique attribute
(enforced elsewhere by me). Leaves a record of the original settings in the
output pipeline runs with "./thescript.ps1 | Export-Csv
dataAndATimeStamp.csv".
Hopefully the attachment survives, it's only little

Any chance you'd care to share your script? I'm still a PS novice with some
of this stuff.

Took me a moment to figure out what offboarding might be
My little script does the following:
1. Disables the account
2. Strips group membership
3. Sets up mailbox forwarding (if requested)
4. Modifies the description, adding a date stamp
5. Clears out a small number of attributes
6. Logs all changes to a CSV so it can be trivially reversed

Yes "leavers", so what do you do? Disable accounts, remove from groups,
remove manager, remove attributes?

People who leave the organisation? If so, I am. But I use it for pretty much
everything

Just an ideal query really. How many people are using Powershell to do
their user offboarding and what sort of things do you use Powershell to do?
