UserWorkstations attribute field empty using Powershell despite user having userWorkstations attributes

Question

I'm using this powershell script to retrieve userWorkstations attribute :-

Get-ADUser -Identity 'AccountABCD' -properties * | Select Name, sAMAccountName, userWorkstations

However, only Name and sAMAccountName appearing despite user having userWorkstations attributes.

Any workaround on this ?

Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Please try below three different powershell commands to get list of User's workstations.

1. Get-Aduser -filter {LogonWorkstations -like "*"} -Properties LogonWorkstations
2. Get-Aduser -filter * -Properties LogonWorkstations

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$complist = Import-Csv -Path "c:\temp\myworkstationList.csv" | ForEach-Object {$_.NetBIOSName}

foreach($comp in $complist){

$comparray += $comp

}

Set-ADUser -Identity username -LogonWorkstations $comparray
