One option might be to use “-split”: PS U:\> $a = "OU=MyHouse,OU=World,DC=domain,DC=net" PS U:\> ($a -split ",")[0] OU=MyHouse PS U:\> (($a -split ",")[0] -split "=")[1] MyHouse
Edward From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Lum Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2016 3:45 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [NTSysADM] PowerShell Help I want to use PowerShell to get the immediate OU a user is in an drop it into said users’ description. I can do Set-ADUSer easily enough, I just want to be able to through only the direct OU and not the entire DN into the description. So, instead of 'OU=MyHouse,OU=World,DC=domain,DC=net' I want to just drop in “MyHouse” (the desired description will me “disabled account from myHouse OU”. Some “ForEach” thing, right?
