PowerShell create active directory user

Create bulk users for Active Directory in PowerShell with the help of a text file or a CSV file can be done easily. But the code below is to create a single user account. The code below can easily be tweak by using for loop command and reading an external file where the data will be imported to PowerShell variables.

When I was creating this script, I encountered an error that says:

new-aduser attribute value was not in the acceptable range

Basically, the error is good and is useful as well. Since it already gives a hint that one of the value is not acceptable.

And on this case, it was the Country variable, I was writing the whole word “Philippines” when I changed it to PH and the error went away.

Here’s the code:
#------Code Start-------- 
$Domain="@gui.local"
$Firstname="Yorem"
$Lastname="Goas"
$Email="yorem.goas@gui.com"
$Password="Wh@t!s1t0k"
$Username=$Firstname +"."+ $Lastname
$UPN=$Username+$Domain
$DisplayName= "$Firstname $Lastname"
$Zipcode="6209"
$Country="PH" #Note for Country it should be the country code not the whole name of the country
$Company="D GUI Pacific"
$Title="Position with no Title"

#Use this method below if the string has to be in multiple lines
#What you is what you get
#The format of the string displayed on this variable will be the same format that will be displayed in AD

$StreetAd = @"
Somewhere Along the Road
00-888 D Gui Building
"@

$Office="Pinas Opisina"
$Officenum="+63 6800-99-88-55"


New-ADUser -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force) -Title $Title -OfficePhone $Officenum -Office $Office  -DisplayName $DisplayName -EmailAddress $Email   -givenname $Firstname -Enabled $true -Name $Username   -Path "OU=SingleUser, OU=Users, OU=MyBusiness, DC=bmtasia, DC=local" -surname $Lastname   -userprincipalname $UPN -Company $Company -Country $Country -PostalCode $Zipcode -StreetAddress $StreetAd


 #------Code Ends-------- 


-Name parameter is equivalent to Full Name
-SamAccountName parameter is equivalent to Logon Name
-Country parameter should be the Country code only not the whole country name

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

Delete Directories with Wildcards using rd or rmdir

  Deleting files in command prompt using wildcards is quite straight forward. Command below will delete all text (".txt") files on the specified path.      Del D:\txtlog\*.txt Command above will delete all files with ".txt" extension in d:\txtlog directory. Easy enough to delete all matching files. Using the same method with rmdir or rd command this will not work. For example, if we have a directory on d drive that is auto-generated by an application and the filename is consistent with a pattern plus incrementing number at the end to differentiate the folder from other folders.    D:\baklogs\log1\    D:\baklogs\log2\    D:\baklogs\log3\    Etc..    D:\baklogs\log100\ The folder name has a consistent pattern that is preceded by the word “log” plus incrementing number. If the command below is executed to remove the directories in one go, an error is shown which h...
