Some days ago I have been working on some powershell scripts for a lab environment and now i have edited the handlescript to work better and with more functionality.

First i created a small script for populating some OU with student accounts.

# Script: Createusers.ps1
# Create users in AD
# Version: 0.1
# Niklas Akerlund /RTS

Import-Module Activedirectory

$OUs =  "OU1","OU2","OU3","OU4","OU5","OU6"

foreach ($OU in $OUs){
	$path = "OU=" + $OU + ",OU=lab,OU=Users,DC=demo,DC=local"
	for ($i=1;$i -le 10;$i++){
    	$SAMid = $OU + "Student0" + $i 
    	$Name = $OU + "Student0" + $i 
    	New-ADUser -SamAccountName $SAMid -Name $Name -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "S0meP@ssw0rd" -Force) -Enabled $true -Path $path
   
	}
}

Then i created with help from Jeffery Hicks post a script with a menu to enable or disable accounts in the different OU´s. As i described in a earlier post it is quite powerful to use Active Directory cmdlets and i have tried to take care of that by checking that when i enable/disable accounts i check that i really have something in my searchbase. Below are two screenshots of the script running. Update I have now updated the script with a check for the searchbase that actually works and also an extra menu option with the ability to set password on the accounts i enable!

Here is the script that creates this, i have not yet come up with a better and more dynamic way to create the switch, maybe someone can give me some help there..
