Temporary group membership

over 2 years ago

HI,  I would like to add a group by midnight through a script, I know the GUI has the setting to set date and time but how would I do it using a script.

Command:

Add-QADgroupmember -identity "groupname" -member $ADuser   (tonight at midnight)

any help would be much appreciated  Slight smile

    I had a script open, I had to remove bits (so you'll need to test in your lab environment), but to add to Johnny's link

    $Type = "Add"
$Group = "<GroupDN>"
$Member = "<MemberDN>"
$Reason = "<Reason>"
$SetTime = get-date -Date (Get-date).Date -Hour 00 -Minute 00 -Second 00
$GroupDN =  Get-QADObject -Identity $Group
$MemberDN = Get-QADObject -Identity $Member
   
$ControlHash=@{}
$ControlHash.Add("OperationReason","$Reason")
$ControlHash.Add('ScheduledOperation-SetTime',$($SetTime))

if($Type -eq "Add")
{
	$Add = Add-QADGroupMember -Identity $GroupDN.DN -Member $MemberDN.DN -Control $ControlHash -Proxy
}
ElseIf($Type -eq "Remove")
{
	$Remove = Remove-QADGroupMember -Identity $GroupDN.DN -Member $MemberDN.DN -Control $ControlHash -Proxy
}

{
	Write-Host "Unhandled type ($($Type))"
}

    so would you say this is correct, to start at 10PM

    $SetTime = get-date -Date (Get-date).Date -Hour 22 -Minute 00 -Second 00
    $ControlHash=@{}
    $ControlHash.Add('ScheduledOperation-SetTime',$($SetTime))
    Add-qadgroupmember -identity "TheGroup" -members $user -Control $ControlHash -Proxy

    Yes

    Bear in mind however, the time that gets set is based upon your local time... so in the UK for example, currently we are in British Summer Time (GMT+1 or UTC+1), therefore if I were to add at 10, it would shown in the console as 11....

    IE I ran this:

    And it resulted in this:

    As always time zones can result in your results appears differently, so take account of this when writing/running your script. There are methods to set the time as GMT/UTC, or to the offset you require.
