I am looping through a list of samaccountnames and performing several actions:
# Disabling user
try {
Disable-QADUser $user | Out-Null
} catch [exception] {
"Disable-QADuser: " + $($_.Exception.Message) | out-file $logfile -append
write-host " - Error disabling useraccount." -fore yellow
}
# Set informative description
try {
Set-QADuser $user -Description "Disabled $now" | Out-Null
} catch [exception] {
"Set-QADuser: " + $($_.Exception.Message)| out-file $logfile -append
write-host " - Error setting informative description in AD." -fore yellow
}
But how do I output something if the command completed successfully? Something like
write-host "User $user disabled"
"User $user disabled" | out-file $logfile -append
All help/pointers are greatly appreciated!
EDIT
I noticed that I can use tee-object
to send the output to file as well as console.. This way I do not have to have to lines to "tee" the output:)
If it's anything like java, you'd just place it underneath the line you are trying to execute:
try {
Set-QADuser $user -Description "Disabled $now" | Out-Null
write-host "User $user disabled"
"User $user disabled" | out-file $logfile -append
} catch [exception] {
"Set-QADuser: " + $($_.Exception.Message)| out-file $logfile -append
write-host " - Error setting informative description in AD." -fore yellow
}
