Due to a reorg I have to train less technical people to manage users. Up until now I would give a new admin the cmdlets and then give them a tutorial on how perform operations in ARS.
Some of these new admins have never opened a powershell window. I'd like to give them workflows in the web interface for specific tasks. One that comes up pretty often is a bulk update of a group. I know you can add multiple users separated by a semicolon and then do a multi select, but there seems to be an object limit or character limit. For instance, I just tried it with 272 users and I got "the search string is too long" It's probably like 1024 characters or something I'm guessing. If there is a way to bump that up, that would be the easiest answer. If not I'm thinking I could try messing around with something like this:
function BulkAddMembers ($Request)
{
$InputFile = $workflow.parameter("input file")
Import-Csv $InputFile | %{
Add-QADGroupMember -Identity $_.TargetGroup -Member $_.samaccountname
}
}
I saw: workflow.parameter("input file") referenced in another post, but I'm not seeing "input file" as an option in the admin console when configuring parameters on a workflow. I do see that you can use a script to determine parameter values, and I tried referencing the above script, but the workflow threw an error when I tried to run it. It's looking for the path to the file.
Is there a way to have ARS prompt to intake the file?
Or is the idea I would have a share and admins could upload a file there separately and then go kick off the workflow that references that hard coded path?
