The .CSV file’s OU is pointing to Instructor Paul. Must update the OU path within the .CSV file.
Thank you
Eric Gonzales for posting.
We will be updating the file.
The CSV file on the Desktop has been updated to match the OU path.
Thanks for the feedback.
I’m trying the PowerShell lab and the first question about “Set PowerShell Script Execution Policy to Unrestricted” is already set to “Not Configured” in both places. Am I missing something???
Hi
James Estrella
It is just to practice setting the execution policy to something other than not configured.
Ricardo.
My “Hello World” Script is running even when saved to the C Drive
That’s ok, you can execute any other scripts if you like in the lab.
The first ? in the lab. My “Turn on Script Execution” is set to Not configured on both. Is there something I’m missing??
No, there’s nothing you’re missing
James Estrella that’s how it is in the lab.
It happened to me too. When you open the Lab in the AD “Turn on Script Execution” is already set to “Not configured” on both computer and user configuration therefore it defeats the lab practice question which ask the student to again set them to “Not Configured’. I think the Lab should have “enabled/disabled” it so that we (students) can set them to “Not Configured” in order to get our score.
Hi
Nathan Sackey
That’s correct, we missed that part. We have updated the lab to reflect them as configured when doing rsop.msc. Check it out again and do let us know if you have any issues with it.
Ricardo
how to install rsop.msc?
Hi
Victoria Vyedina
rsop.msc is part of the Windows server operating system. It should show up if you type in the search box rsop.msc.
Hello. I can’t access the lab — no connection can be established. Can you please help?
Hi
Pavel Zarva
We have checked the lab and seem to be online. Can you try again? If you have an issue please post a screenshot.
Ricardo
Hello
The first task, Set PowerShell Script Execution Policy to Unrestricted, I follow the instructions (rsop.msc, etc) but after clicking on administrative templates then clicking on Windows Components, there isn’t a PowerShell choice, only a windows update
Hi
Jjmm
We have seen your comment and have updated the lab to reflect the changes in rsop.msc. Please try it again and do let us know if you have any issues.
Ricardo
Hi
Jose Mattey
In this step, the task is to create a new PowerShell script based on the Creating User Accounts lesson from a CSV (Comma Separated Value) File. The CSV file to use is the one on the desktop. The new script should be stored on C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ with the name of CreateUsers.ps1. The step also checks the file size to be 1100KB or less.
In summary, the evaluation script checks for the name and location of the ps1 file and if it is less than 1100KB.
Let us know if there’s any issue with this step to review it.
Ricardo
Not sure what Im doing wrong. On the first lab task I created the ListUsers.ps1…put it in the correct place and it worked. Continued to tell me that it wasnt created in the correct place.Not really sure what I did. Had some other people look at it and they thought everything looked correct. Any tricks Im missing?
Hi
Aaron Salazar
The first evaluation step is looking for the ListUsers.ps1 file script under C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\. It doesn’t matter the case but should be named ListUsers.ps1, otherwise the evaluation fails. Also, it can fail if it has an extension like ListUsers.ps1.txt in case the extension is hidden by the OS it might be misleading and show ListUsers.ps1.
Ricardo
I wasn’t able to find the “Disable User” option in Active Directory.
Hi
Mister Lewis
Just select the user account and right-click it and select Disable Account.
Ricardo
Unfortunately I have many problems with this lab. First no iso was inserted then the problem was solved. The next problem is that the lab just freezes after 20 minutes.
Hi
Horst Bornschein-Grolms
I understand what you mean, this lab is quite challenging, but I see you’ve completed it.
Not sure why the lab froze on you, but restarting the virtual machine can make it work. You are right the ISO is not inserted into the virtual machine. If you still need help do let us know.
Thanks for reporting your issues.
Ricardo
Hi, I was only given 30 minutes which was not enough time because I had to debug some issues and only got one 15 minute extension which again was not enough time. Please give us more time and more extensions to figure this lab out.
Hi
Jmorrow
We have extended 15 minutes on the time for you to complete the lab.
Ricardo
Hello, I am really struggling with the lab work:
Write a PowerShell Script to Create AD User Accounts from a CSV file located on the Desktop and save to C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\CreateUsers.ps1
What Am I exactly to do? On following the instructions and pressing the Play button to execute the script as in an example screenshot below, I am to enter the CSV file that contains the new user accounts.
When I enter the file path which I believe is C:\Users\Administrator\Destop\NewUsers-1551728379489,the script should execute for instance, and am getting error attached.
Is it just enough to write the script and save C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\CreateUsers.ps1 which I have tried and I got it correct but no users were created in Active Directory.
Any help to get over this taks?
Hi
Emmanuela2
Basically create the script to create the users which are on the file. It is basically taken from the lesson Creating User Accounts from a CSV (Comma Separated Value) File. You can start building the script step by step as described there on the lesson.
Ricardo
Hello, just trying the create users from the CSV file, i have got it to run and the users are being created and been able to run it 3 times, but the marking system on the right is saying that the file doesn’t exist as seen in the screenshot that i have attached
Hi
John Thorne,
Let me check what’s going on and get back to you as I see the path is ok.
Ricardo
You can try again. The path is correct. I just modified the evaluation script to evaluate the size of the file.
Had issues running the script to create the users from the csv file. When it asks for the path to the file, it said access was denied. I had to change the script to include the path like seen below for it to actually run and create the users. Not sure if anyone else experienced this issue.
# Import the AD Module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
# Get the path to our target CSV file
$filepath = “C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\NewUsers-1551728379489.csv” #what I had to change
# Import the CSV as an array
$users = Import-CSV $filepath
# Complete an action for each user in the CSV file
ForEach ($user in $users) {
# Do this for each user
New-ADUser
-Name ($user.'First Name' + " " + $user.'Last Name')-GivenName $user.’First Name’
-Surname $user.'Last Name'-UserPrincipalName ($user.’First Name’ + “.” + $user.’Last Name’)
-AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "P@$$w0rd123" -AsPlainText -Force)
-Description $user.Description
-EmailAddress $user.'Email Address'-Title $user.’Job Title’
-OfficePhone $user.'Office Phone'-Path $user.’Organizational Unit’
-ChangePasswordAtLogon 1-Enabled ([System.Convert]::ToBoolean($user.Enabled))
Hi
Brucej,
It might have been the path or permissions that were the issue. Since defining the full path, it was not permissions, I assume. You can try testing the path with Test-Path $filepath or from another location.
