Adding AD users to a specific security group
Hi Everyone, Sorry if this question has already been asked as I couldn't find an answer. I’m trying to write a PowerShell script that runs as a scheduled task to add AD users to a specific AD security group. The goal is for this to run daily. The script will first check the users' OU to determine if they are already members of the security group. If they are, it will skip them; if they are not members, it will add them to the group. I have created the following script, but I’m unsure if it's the best approach. Additionally, can this script be executed on a server that doesn’t have Active Directory installed? If AD must be installed, would it be ideal to run it on a Domain Controller? # Check if Active Directory module is already imported, import only if necessary if (-not (Get-Module -Name ActiveDirectory)) { Import-Module ActiveDirectory } # Define the base OU and security group $BaseOU = "OU=W11_USERS,DC=W11,DC=NET" $SecurityGroup = "HR" # Get all users from W11_USERS and its sub-OUs $Users = Get-ADUser -SearchBase $BaseOU -SearchScope Subtree -Filter * # Loop through each user and check group membership before adding foreach ($User in $Users) { $UserDN = $User.DistinguishedName # Check if user is already a member of HR $IsMember = Get-ADGroupMember -Identity $SecurityGroup | Where-Object { $_.DistinguishedName -eq $UserDN } if (-not $IsMember) { Try { Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $SecurityGroup -Members $User -ErrorAction Stop Write-Host "Added $($User.SamAccountName) to $SecurityGroup" -ForegroundColor Green } Catch { Write-Host "Failed to add $($User.SamAccountName): $_" -ForegroundColor Red } } else { Write-Host "$($User.SamAccountName) is already a member of $SecurityGroup" -ForegroundColor Yellow } } Write-Host "User addition process completed."

Unable to Execute PowerShell Script Commands in Microsoft Teams Session Established via Script
I encountered an issue while attempting to execute PowerShell script commands within a Microsoft Teams session established via a script. The script includes commands to connect to Microsoft Teams using the Connect-MicrosoftTeams cmdlet and subsequently execute other Teams-related commands. While the script executes without errors, the session does not seem to be fully established, resulting in the following error when attempting to execute subsequent commands: powershell : Get-CsTeamsClientConfiguration : Session is not established, run Connect-MicrosoftTeams before requesting access token At line:1 char:1 + powershell -File 'C:\Users\***********************\script.p ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Get-CsTeamsClie...ng access token:String) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError At C:\Users\****************************\script.ps1:8 char:1 + Get-CsTeamsClientConfiguration + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-CsTeamsClientConfiguration], UnauthorizedAccessException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.Teams.ConfigApi.Cmdlets.GetCsTeamsClientCon figuration This issue is inconsistent, as the commands execute successfully when executed manually. Additionally, I've attempted to introduce delays in the script to allow for the session to fully establish, but the issue persists. This issue impacts the ability to automate tasks in Microsoft Teams using PowerShell scripts. Please let me know if there are any additional steps or information needed to address this issue effectively.

Hey everyone, do you know if there is a way to run a script to find what Teams policies are assigned to what user? We have a private channel policy in place- I would like to find out a list of users that policy is assigned to. Also, if you delete a user from a custom policy does that user get the default policy? Thanks!
Getting all virtual machines in a Hyper-V cluster using Python and WinRM
Hello, I am trying to use Python and WinRM to retrieve a list of all virtual machines in a Hyper-V cluster. I have a PowerShell script that works to retrieve the virtual machines owned by the current node, but I am having trouble modifying it to retrieve all virtual machines in the cluster. Here's the current script that retrieves the virtual machines owned by the current node: # Create a PowerShell session on the host machine session = winrm.Session(host, auth=(username, password),transport='ntlm') # Define the PowerShell command to retrieve the list of virtual machines in the cluster ps_script = """ $nodes = Get-ClusterNode Write-Output $nodes $vm_list = Get-ClusterGroup -Cluster $env:computername | Where-Object {$_.GroupType -eq 'VirtualMachine' -and $_.OwnerNode.Name -in $nodes.Name} | Get-VM $vm_names = $vm_list.Name Write-Output $vm_names """ # Execute the PowerShell command and retrieve the output result = session.run_ps(ps_script) if result.status_code == 0: # Parse the output to get the list of virtual machines vm_info = result.std_out.decode('utf-8').strip() # Print the list of virtual machines print(vm_info) else: # Print the full error message print("Error message: " + result.std_err.decode('utf-8').strip()) Can anyone help me modify this script to retrieve all virtual machines in the cluster, regardless of which node owns them? Thank you in advance for your help!
