Getting an AD user from specific OU using Powershell

Question

_{Thursday, March 1, 2018 5:15 PM}

Hello,

I have my search base path in $path and I am trying to get specific user from AD and the search base is $path

I have following code and it doesnot seem to work:

$User=Get-Aduser -SearchBase $path -Filter * -properties Name | Where { ($_.Name) -eq $i.Name}

-SearchBase $path Doesnot seem to work.

Thanks.

How are you defining $Path?  It should the distinguished name, for example:

$path = "ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=local"

This works for me on Windows Server 2016 (I didn't include the rest as I don't know what you are using for $I):

$path = "OU=Service accounts,OU=Users,OU=WebbWorld,DC=webbworld,DC=local"$users = get-aduser -SearchBase $path -filter * -properties name

Then provide more information.  Show your full script, tell us what "does not work" means, and answer my question.
