Hi,

How would I query to get all the OU information for a user whether user belongs directly or indirectly via group memberships.


Best,
Saswati

I read several times but I was not able to understand (prolly due to my poor
language skills)…. L



- What's "all the OU information"? OU LDAP path? OU attributes? (e.g.
description).

- "user belongs directly or indirectly" to what? an OU or a Group?



Could you make an example?



Gabriele.

Don't worry, I didn't understand the bit about group membership either :-)

Phew! You know, when reading tech things in a foreign language, when you
don’t understand something you’re faced by a nasty dilemma: “Didn’t I
understand because of the language or because of the complexity of the tech
matter??” LOL! J – Gabriele.

Upon reflection of the question - informed by how my Tamil college uses the word "whether" - I think the question is

How can I query a user object to discover what OU it is contained in, based on the user being a direct or indirect member of a particular group.

And the answer would be I'd use the Quest AD cmdlets; either Get-QADGroupMember (-Indirect) or Get-QADUser (-IndirectMemberOf).

The rest of the PoSH would depend on what I was wanting to do with the output.

I believe Saswati is looking for complete distinguished name for users and groups both direct and indirect

So you think the question is "How do I query for the OU and all group membership (direct and indirect) of all users?".
