Revert from command to C#

Question

Hi,
How to revert from AddScript to C# code (on the line below) that we cannot create user further as the user is existing?

ps.AddScript("if($userName -eq $null) {$userName = \"may.chen\"}")

Answer 1

If you want to check if a local user exists before adding it, there are plenty of methods

You can do for example :

 bool Exists = IsUserExists("testUser");

with :

        private bool IsUserExists(string sUserName)
        {           
            DirectoryEntry deComputer = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName + ", computer");
            DirectoryEntries entries = deComputer.Children;
            foreach (DirectoryEntry de in entries)
            {
                if (de.Name.Equals(sUserName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
                    return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
