Improvers sections they've talked about operational tasks that can be performed on user accounts and
have active directory use in power.
So this lessons focus on performance similar operations on computer objects managing computer objects
is not much different from managing user objects.
All you need to do is to use the correct.
Come on lads and the rest of the process remains the same.
We'll be talking about the following topics greed in computer accounts modifying computer properties
enabling or disabling computer accounts deleting computer accounts.
Let's start with creating computer records.
Most system administrators do not create computer accounts manually in Active Directory.
Instead légion computers to the domain and the account gets created automatically after a automatic
object creation the administrator moves the computer accounts from the default container to the desired
o you.
It looks quite simple but why is there a need to create a manual computer account previously mentioned
approach will work for smaller organizations where one set of system administrators will manage Everest
and they will have all privileges but in large organizations their desktop or server builds happen in
an automated way use and deployment solutions such as Windows deployment services where the build process
looks for computer account in Active Directory to join the server desktop to the domain.
This process is called pre-stage and of computer accounts and it has a good set of advantages such as
Q And they owe you where you want to place the computer group membership and so on.
So let's now look at a few examples of great a computer account active directory provides a common let's
called new Adey computer to facilitate the computer account creation.
The following command will create a computer account with a name like passerby or three or some other
name in the default computer container.
So let's run it new.
There's a computer Desch name Leppert So we won or Lepper servus 3 whatever server you need to add and
pass through parameter to create computer account in a particular organizational unit.
In Active Directory we could use the following command.
New dash 80 computer Desch name ALAP possessory and pass to these.
You in which we want to create the computer account.
For example computers which is SOP over you of production over you and in Cantore Sadat gone the.
And of course path through parameter to see the results ensure that all you manage the.
And this example command exists prior to the computer account creation.
If not the command execution fails.
Another example when you want to create a computer account but keep it in a desirable state.
You could use the following command as an example.
New this a computer Desch name Desch path.
You should try the best to this.
All you in the computer will be located thus enabled Dolor character falls and pass through parameter.
So in this example the Enable parameter which is set to false is responsible for disabling the computer
account.
Of course to see a list of all the options for this command Latin's some examples.
You could read it's complete help can't and this can be done to you then the following command.
Get help new desk a computer desk full or Desch.
Examples are this online if you want to read online updated help on this command let.
Now let's move on and talk about modifying computer accounts.
Computer account attributes often need to be modified for example because many computer accounts are
created before the computers are actually assigned to users.
Attributes such as description department and location can cannot be configured at the same time of
an account creation in addition to the ownership of a computer can be transferred to a new user or a
new department or a computer might be physical and moved to your location in such circumstances that
computer account attributes need to be modified.
So let's see how to do it in Power Shell use in various command lets available for computer objects.
As for setting the description of a computer account active directory power sharing modules has the
SAT desk a computer come and left for modifying computer account properties in Active Directory.
Remember that said there's a user come and let me use that to modify user object properties.
It is similar to that but for computer accounts to update the description of a single computer you can
use the following command.
This example updates the description of the lappets or two for example computer object.
So it looks like that said there's a computer Desch identity lappets there'll be one or two.
I've got three of them in my lap and description property and we have to type the description in quotes.
For example mamber server or web server or whatever description you need to update their search.
Does any computer command Let has the ability to search.
Well yes for the majority of object attributes to see the list of attributes.
It can set Chicot's help content here than the following command.
Get help.
Or just help set.
There's 80 computer desk full or examples.
You can you get there's a computer command to check if the description is set for whatever server you
need.
So for this you should type out there's a computer lab passerby or one Desch property description.
Now let's talk about move computer accounts to different all you sometimes you might need to move computer
accounts to different oh use as the user might change the location or server accounts in order to segregate
them according to their roles or you might want to move computer accounts from the default IOU to respective
office location or use.
Let's see if your examples are related to a computer account.
Movements across organizational units as we've done for user accounts here too we can make use of their
move.
There's a the object come and left to move computer accounts from Bhanot you to another foreign command
moves are there lapper sort of the one computer account from the default computer container to computers
or were you inside production or were you.
So the command looks like let move there's a the object there's identity will be move in LA possessory
which is located in computers in the control so dot com the man and trm will be moving it to the Targett
path.
So here we have to specify the path where we are moving the computer to.
In this case it's computers which is SOP over you of production over you.
And it's also in control so dot com domain and of course pass through parameters to see the results.
Since it's not possible to provide the full distinguished name of the object we want to move every time
we can either use it get.
Does any computer or search Desch a call and come and let to sort by its name or some other property
and then pass to pass the output to move does the object come and lead.
And the example for that is here.
Get a computer does filter the name should be equal to allow passerby warm and pipe it to move the object
with the Targett POS parameter of the target POS will look like that computer's production contorts
or dot com and pass through parameter.
Similarly the search for a string and the description of the computer objects and move them to the designated
0 you are using the following command get a computer filter the description should look like server
or S or V Pypard to move the object and Targett pause for that.
This command will look for computer accounts that have this dream server in their description and we'll
move them to the designated over you.
Similarly you can search based on any other criteria and move them to different or we use.
