Powershell-connector

So I've created my first Powershell-connector and added some logging to a file so see what is happening when I browse, synk and provision users to the target system.

I have cmdlets for Get-Users, Get-User, and Update-User.

Get-Users returns an array of objects containing all the attributes that Iäm interested in inserting in UNSAccountB. Get-User only returns one object, but the same number of attributes.

When I try to get all users in Postman, it takes around 20-30 seconds. When I try to get all users with the cmdlet, it takes the same amount of time.

What I'm trying to understand is the logic behind the synchronisation. When I run the synchronisation to get all the users, I see in the log that it runs the cmdlet for Get-Users (takes about the same time as the other) and then it starts to run Get-User on each individual user. This means that a action of getting all users takes about 1,5 hrs.

Can anyone explain if this is how the logic SHOULD work, then I'm interested in trying to understand the resoning. If this is NOT how it's suppose to be, what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it.

  • The Get-Users cmdlet should only retrieve the key, revision, and display properties. The Get-User retrieves all properties. In your case where the slim list retrieval returns all properties it makes sense to cache the list if memory availability allows. The Get-User cmdlet will index into the cached list taking away the network calls and bad performance. If you do not have enough memory to cache the list you should only retrieve the slim list and depend on the revision counter to reduce the synchronization duration when the revision counters are fully built.
