The script can be executed on an AD group to send an email message to all its members. You can use the script in business rules, custom commands and scheduled tasks executed on Group objects.
Parameters:
- $subject - Specifies the message subject.
- $messageText - Specifies the message body text.
You can use value references in the message subject and text. They will be replaced with the properties of the group on which the script is executed. For example, if you insert %name% in the message text, it will be replaced with the name of the group on which the script is run.
PowerShell
$subject = "Notification to %name% members" # TODO: modify me
$messageText = @"
Attention to all %name% members!
This is a notification from your support team.
"@ # TODO: modify me
try
{
$memberGuidsInByte = $Context.TargetObject.GetEx("adm-MembersGuid")
}
catch
{
return # The group has no members
}
$toAddresses = @()
foreach($memberGuidInByte in $memberGuidsInByte)
{
$memberGuid = [guid]$memberGuidInByte
$groupMember = $Context.BindToObject("Adaxes://<GUID=$memberGuid>")
if($groupMember.Class -ieq "group")
{
continue # Skip groups because we will send emails to their members anyway
}
try
{
$mail = $groupMember.Get("mail")
}
catch
{
continue # The member doesn't have an email address
}
$toAddresses += "$mail"
}
if ($toAddresses.Length -gt 0)
{
$toAddressesString = [System.String]::Join(",", $toAddresses)
$Context.SendMail($toAddressesString, $subject, $messageText, $NULL)
}To send the message only to direct group members, replace adm-MembersGuid with adm-DirectMembersGuid.
