So I have a list of AD users, that I created using Quest cmdlets
(Get-ADUser ..). I need to add a new NoteProperty to each object (I want to
add a boolean member, to indicate that this object meets certain criteria,
determined later in the script). And I seem to be confused. (I know, what
else is new).
Do I need to:
Do a ForEach-Object loop through all the returned users
Create a new CustomObject
Set it to the value of the user
Add-Member boolean field to the custom object
save custom object into new list?
$AllActiveUsers = Get-QADUser <OneUser> -Enabled -SizeLimit 0
-IncludedProperties employeeID, departmentNumber| Select
givenName,LastName,DisplayName,Email,sAMAccountName,employeeID,departmentNumber|
Where-Object {$_.LastName -ne $null} | sort LastName,givenName
$AllCustomizedObjects = @()
ForEach ($User in $AllActiveUsers)
{
$CustomizedObject = $User
$CustomizedObject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Matched
-Value $false
$AllCustomizedUsers += $CustomizedObject
}
That works, but is there a better way?
I could come at it from the other direction; get my list of all users; when
I find one that matches the criteria later, at that point create a new
object with my boolean field; save all those objects; use those customized
objects later in output. That would double up memory use, but possibly
shorten execution time, since I wouldn't have to loop through all users
first, adding an object. Instead only adding objects when I find a match
(which should only be about 20% of the users, I am expecting).
