Here is the task for today to use [easyazon_link identifier=”1787122042″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] PowerShell [/easyazon_link]. I was asked to find the list of employees under a specific manager. In [easyazon_link identifier=”1449361420″ locale=”US” tag=”wn0d5-20″] Active Directory [/easyazon_link] you can retrieve this information under the property DirectReports
Here is the one liner that will help you to get the information from Active Directory:
Get-ADUser -Identity **MANAGER** -Properties directreports | select-object -ExpandProperty DirectReports
or you can add more lines :
[cc lang=”PowerShell”]Clear-host
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Write-Host . LIST DIRECT REPORTS . -ForegroundColor white -BackgroundColor red
Write-Host
$Manager = Read-Host [ Enter Manager User Name ]
Write-Host
Write-Host … These are Direct Reports to $Manager -ForegroundColor yellow
Write-Host
Get-ADUser -Identity $Manager -Properties directreports | select-object -ExpandProperty DirectReports [/cc]
Here we go now you can get list of all DirectReports employees to given Manager from Active Directory.
