Hi All,

I have used the following query to list the users in a windows 2008 server, but failed and got the below error.

XML

$server='client-pc-1';$pwd= convertto-securestring 'password$' -asplaintext -
force;$cred=new-object  -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist 'Administrator',$pwd; invoke-command -computername $server -credential 
$cred -scriptblock {Get-ADUser -Filter (enabled -ne $true)}

The exception is given below...

XML

The term 'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-ADUser:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Can anyone help me to solve this?

Thanks & Regards
Sebastian

Solution 1

Maybe something like this within your invoke

-scriptblock { Import-Module ActiveDirectory; Get-ADUser -Filter 'enabled -ne "true"' }

Alternatively just install RSAT (with the AD PS-module) on the computer where you intend to run the script and no invoke would be needed.

Thanks for your help, But unfortunately I am ended up in another error...
The term 'enabled' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Try it like this;

Get-ADUser -Filter 'Enabled -ne "true"'
