Powershell How to add more values into param strings

Question

Dear Experts,

We have an older script which is still running fine.
We now need to include another different OU into the script, however it seems that the $ADSearchBase variable only accepts one value?

Any idea we can add one more OU into the script to get it work?
Thanks a lot!

param( 
    [parameter(Mandatory=$false)] 
    [String] $ADSearchBase = "OU=Left,OU=Users,OU=GTIIT,DC=xxDC=com,DC=cn"
) 
 

Answer 1

Define $ADSearchBase as an array of strings:

param( 
     [parameter(Mandatory=$false)] 
     [String[]] $ADSearchBase = "OU=Left,OU=Users,OU=GTIIT,DC=xxDC=com,DC=cn", "OU=Right,OU=Users,OU=GTIIT,DC=xxDC=com,DC=cn"
 ) 

Keep in mind that you can use only one value at a time in the -SearchBase parameter on, say, a Get-ADUser cmdlet. You'll have to modify the code to loop over the array and run your code as many times as there are items in the array.
