I am on a server under the DomainA. I can use Get-ADUser
and it's working fine.
Now there is a trust built between DomainA and DomainB. I would like to switch to DomainB and get all the users that's in OU=New Users, DC=DomainB, DC=com
.
I tried these but I get an error.
$FetchDomainB = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=New Users, DC=DomainB, DC=com"
This asks me for Filter and i put in emailadress then it throws an error saying "Supplied distinguished name below to dc=DomainA,dc=net"
Same error is thrown for following code as well.
PS C:\> $test = Get-ADUser -SearchBase "dc=DomainB,dc=com" -filter {EmailAddress -like "*Smith_Karla*"} -Properties EmailAddress
Try specifying a DC in DomainB using the -Server
property. Ex:
Get-ADUser -Server "dc01.DomainB.local" -Filter {EmailAddress -like "*Smith_Karla*"} -Properties EmailAddress
get-aduser -Server "servername" -Identity %username% -Properties *
get-aduser -Server "testdomain.test.net" -Identity testuser -Properties *
These work when you have the username. Also less to type than using the -filter
property.
EDIT: Formatting.
I just want to add that if you don't inheritently know the name of a domain controller, you can get the closest one, pass it's hostname to the -Server
argument.
$dc = Get-ADDomainController -DomainName example.com -Discover -NextClosestSite
Get-ADUser -Server $dc.HostName[0] `
-Filter { EmailAddress -Like "*Smith_Karla*" } `
-Properties EmailAddress
