Hi,
I have been trying to get additional attributes (description f.e.) when copy a user from Web Interface, but with $Request method on a Powershell script it's has been impossible to get the source object.
I finally used the VB scipt that is at the Wiki but I wondered if there is a way to do that with PowerShell.
I can see on the Windows Event Log for ARAdminSvc that when copy, its register the source object, but couldn't get the source object name from that neither.
Kind regards.
For identifying the source object, the key line of that script is this:
Set SrcObj = rootDSE.OpenDSObject("EDMS://" & Request.GetInControl(EDS_CONTROL_SOURCE_OBJECT_DN), "", "", 0)…

I'd written this earlier, but hadn't got a chance to share, so to back up Johnny's answer
