Hello folks, Sometimes we should alter attributes get-qaduser | foreach-object { set-qaduser $_.name -ObjectAttributes @{mail = $_.name + ‘domain.ca’ } } Ok, Is it not enough?

Hello folks, We usually see in the MS presentation the guys using a lot of cmdlets and they show the information in the browser directly from the PowerShell.. If you have already seen it, I think you might tried before in your lab without success, right? It occurs because the “out-html” and “out-IE” scripts aren’t found in the default installation.
