Hello, we want to setup a scheduled report with all our teams (security groups) and their respective team-leader (specified in "managedBy" of security group).

I get the name of the team-leader in the report, but i also need the attribute "employeeNumber" of the team-leader. And this is my problem...

Can you help me with this problem?

Hello,

For us to suggest a solution, please, specify how exactly the report is currently generated. If it is generated by a script, please, post the script here or send to us (support[at]adaxes.com).

I copied a default report "objects in OU", so i think it is generated by the following script

# Get parameter values
$objectTypes = $Context.GetParameterValue("param-ObjectTypes")
$scope = $Context.GetParameterValue("param-Scope")
$subtreeScope = $scope -eq "ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE"

# Custom column identifiers
$ouColumnID = "{44db2afb-5559-4d2f-a1f7-e623e3a6c815}"

# Create a searcher for child objects
$childObjSearcher = New-Object Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.Search.DirectorySearcher $NULL, $False
$childObjSearcher.SearchParameters.SearchScope = $scope
$childObjSearcher.SearchParameters.ReferralChasing = "ADS_CHASE_REFERRALS_NEVER"
$childObjSearcher.SearchParameters.Filter = "(|" + $objectTypes + ")"
$childObjSearcher.SearchParameters.PageSize = 500
$childObjSearcher.SetPropertiesToLoad($Context.DirectorySearcher.GetPropertiesToLoad())

# Add properties necessary to generate the report
$propertiesForOUs = @("objectClass", "objectGuid", "distinguishedName")
$Context.DirectorySearcher.SetPropertiesToLoad($propertiesForOUs)

# Search filter
$filter = "(objectCategory=organizationalUnit)"
$Context.DirectorySearcher.AppendFilter($filter)

# Generate report
try
{
    $searchIterator = $Context.DirectorySearcher.ExecuteSearch()
    while ($Context.MoveNext($searchIterator))
    {
        $searchResult = $searchIterator.Current

        $ouDN = $searchResult.GetPropertyByName("distinguishedName").Values[0]
        $columnValues = @{ $ouColumnID = $ouDN; }

        # Search for child objects
        $hasChildObjects = $False
        $childObjSearcher.SearchParameters.BaseObjectPath = $searchResult.AdsPath
        try
        {
            $childObjSearchIterator = $childObjSearcher.ExecuteSearch()
            while ($Context.MoveNext($childObjSearchIterator))
            {
                $childObjSearchResult = $childObjSearchIterator.Current
                if ($subtreeScope -and ($childObjSearchResult.AdsPath -eq $searchResult.AdsPath))
                {
                    # Subtree scope includes the base object. We don't need the object in the report.
                    continue
                }

                $hasChildObjects = $True
                # Add the object to the report
                $Context.Items.Add($childObjSearchResult, $columnValues, $NULL)
            }
        }
        finally
        {
            if ($childObjSearchIterator) { $childObjSearchIterator.Dispose() }
        }

        if ($hasChildObjects -eq $False)
        {
            # The OU is empty
            if ($styleNoChildObjects -eq $NULL)
            {
                $styleNoChildObjects = $Context.Items.CreateItemStyle("#3d3d3d", $NULL,
                    "ADM_LISTITEMFONTSTYLE_REGULAR")
            }
            $Context.Items.Add(-1, "<Keine Objekte>", "Information", $columnValues, $styleNoChildObjects)
        }
    }
}
finally
{
    if ($searchIterator) { $searchIterator.Dispose() }
}

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we are not sure what report exactly you need. Should it only include security groups located in the selected OU and the report columns should display group names, group owners (specified in the Managed By property) and Employee Numbers of the owners?

If that is not so, please, provide all the possible details regarding the desired report with live examples.

You are exactly right. Security Groups in selected OU and in the columns the name of the group, group owner and employeeNumber of the owner.

It would be great if we could run a report on an OU and get the following information: Computer Name Local Accounts Whether or not the account is an administrator ... this is less important. Thanks in advance. Your support team is great and appreciated.
