Adding, removing, or modifying AD users are the most common tasks of any Windows administrator. Having a well defined Powershell script makes this job much easier and consistent.
\nOkay, users my rough version of the new user:
\n# Description: Creates a new AD user in OU=Office Users,OU=Everett
\nUsers,DC=Corp,DC=local Takes the like user and adds new user groups.
\nConverts plain text password to secure password.
\n#
\n# Created: 7-16-2018
\nwrite-host “Enter username”
\nread-host username
\nwrite-host “Enter Full Name”
\nread-host fullname
\nwrite-host “Enter password”
\nread-host password
\nwrite-host “Like user”
\nread-host likeuser
\n$newpassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -asplaintext -force
\n$groups = get-aduser $likeuser -properties memberof | select memberof
\n-expandproperties
\n$path = “OU=Office Users,OU=company Users,DC=company,DC=local”
\nnew-aduser -samaccountname $username -path $path -Name $name –
\naccountpassword $newpassword
\nforeach ($i in $groups)
\n{ Add-AdGroupMember $i -members $username }
