The groups, contacts and users should be pretty simple. You can use the Quest cmdlets to gather this information using get-qadobject. This will return a "Type" and you can further filter from here.
The printers may be harder since unless you chosen to publish them in the directory, AD has no idea about them afaik (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong). However, one possible approach may be to target the Group Policies that are used to deploy the printers to specific OUs, and then query those GPs. I've never done this, so I don't have any information about this. The shares are also not guaranteed to be in AD since unless you've chosen to publish them in the directory, they won't be there. Depending on how your file server is setup, it may be possible to query the GPs for this information too, but since shares are not tied to OUs, I'm not sure how to do this definitely. -Aakash Shah From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Lai, Jerry Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 8:18 PM To: 'scripting@lists.myitforum.com' Subject: [scripting] Script to list all AD OUs that conatin certain object types So I've been tasked to find all OUs that contain specific types of objects, them being; users, groups, printers, shares and contacts. I have a few powershell command lines that can output all objects to a csv file, which will then require quite a bit of manual tidy up. Does anyone have a script that can do something similar or is there a better way of finding this info?
