Is there something in our AD cmdlets that is still missing? Let us know and we will be happy to consider these requests for our roadmap!

Most definitely...

The most sought after feature for me, is the ability to easily manipulate e-mail addresses on a user.

E.g. correct an e-mail, add one, remove one. In an easy manner.

In a 2003 AD on Exchange 2003. I suppose it'll solve itself if you're in a 2008 AD with Exchange 2007/2010.

I enjoy the auto-update feature of PowerGUI. Has a similar feature been considered for the Shell ? as in Update-QADcmdlets ?

It would be neat :)

Thanks,

And a cmdlet that lookups the password expiration date of user would too be cool

Get-QADUser | select Name, PasswordStatus

It seems we already have this feature done.

The one thing that I find missing is a cmdlet which takes the username and password and attempts a bind, then returns a true or false success message.  Perhaps one of the cmdlets does this and I haven't discovered it.  Instead I use all the QAD cmdlets for adding/updating users, then jump over to Netcmdlets to run:
$Result = get-ldap -server servername -binddn $Username -password $userpswd 
to see if the username/password combination is valid. 

Thanks for considering this request.

Request accepted, thank you!

By the way, you can just define a fuction like this:

function Test-Connection([string]$Service, [string]$user, [string]$pwd)
{
     trap [Exception] {$false}

     $c = Connect-QADService $service -ca $user -cp (convertto-securestring $pwd -asplaintext -force)
     $true
}

Then, add it to your user profile and use like that:

$result = Test-Connection -Service <serviceName> -User <userName> -Pwd <Password>

how about some cmdlets for DHCP and DNS... Not really AD per se, but something that can be an easy one liner to create a scope, make reservation, exclude range and scope options. On dns, to add, show and delete to start?

I don't really have a ton of time to figure out wmi and the other was to hook into the system.

Thanks!

Ed,

DNS and DHCP management commands is an interesting theme. We are planning to release PKI management with next release, and we might look at DNS/DHCP right after that.

It would really help if someone would give us more detailed requirements and describe how it should look like in PoSh command string.

Andrei, For starters. here is a code I currently use to create PTR records in batch.

$dns="DNSSERVER"
dir add*.csv|foreach{

 Import-Csv $_.fullname | foreach {

   $zone="{0}.in-addr.arpa" -f $_.subnet
   $fqdn="{0}.{1}" -f $_.hostname,$_.domain
   dnscmd $dns /recordadd $zone $($_.ip) PTR $fqdn

   if($LASTEXITCODE -eq 9601){

     dnscmd $dns /zoneadd $zone /dsprimary /dp /forest
     dnscmd $dns /config $zone /allowupdate 2

     dnscmd $dns /recordadd $zone $($_.ip) PTR $fqdn
   }
 }
}

It would be great to have a cmdlet that allows you pass a csv (with hostname,ip,domain) whether its for A records, PTR (and etc), define the record type a fire away as in New-DNSRecord

This is either a feature request, or I just can't figure out how to get this to work.

I have groups that contain both users and contacts. For reporting purposes, I'd like to output all of the members of the group along with their primary email address.

The get-QADGroupMember works great here for the users, but the object that is returned for the contacts doesn't appear to have an email attribute accessible.

If I'm missing something, can someone help? If I'm not, I think this could be a nice (and hopefully quick) addition.

Thanks.

Mike
