Now run this:

Code: Select all

$adspath = 'LDAP://' + ([adsisearcher]"samaccountname=$($env:COMPUTERNAME)$").FindOne().Properties['distinguishedname'][0]
$account = [adsi]$adspath 
$account | select *

Notice that "Parent" is clearly listed.

Code: Select all

$adspath = 'LDAP://' + ([adsisearcher]"samaccountname=$($env:COMPUTERNAME)$").FindOne().Properties['distinguishedname'][0]
$account = [adsi]$adspath 
$account | select parent

Yes but not when I do this

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $adspath = ([adsisearcher]"samaccountname=$($env:COMPUTERNAME)$").FindOne().Properties['adspath']
2. ([adsi]$adspath).Parent

Did you run the code I just posted?

Did you run the code I just posted?

Yes it returns the parent. So I should have went back and revisted this post on Page 2

we're discussing a moot point

we have this down to a one-liner, the current script is 3

I have no idea what you are referring to. What is the one-liner?

I posted the last script way back in the beginning. It worked then and works now so I do not understand the issue.

(([adsisearcher]"samaccountname=$($env:computername)$").FindOne().Properties['distinguishedname']).split(",")[1] -replace ('OU=')

I said on Page 1 this works,would just like it shorter if possible, but it's not a deal breaker.

[jvierra]

So what you wanted was the "CN" of the parent OU and not the parent OU.
