Scripting Games 2008 Sudden Death Challenge Event 8
Event 8 was a Quiz again, asking for AD property names, to check this I simply made the user in AD Users and Computers and checked the properties that where set after from PowerShell.
But I had a problem with the Country / Region as USA as given in the example can not be set using the interface.
Changing this Listbox changes 2 properties C ( the ISO 2 letter country code ) and CO (Country region as in the AD U&C interface )
Below the output in PowerShell for the test-Ken I did create :
PS C:\scripts> $s = ([adsisearcher][adsi]'')
PS C:\scripts> $s.Filter = 'CN=Kenneth J. Myer'
PS C:\scripts> $s.findOne().properties

So lets look what we can do by script :
$s = ([adsisearcher][adsi]'')
$s.Filter = 'CN=Kenneth J. Myer'
$s.findOne().properties
$u = $s.findOne().getdirectoryentry()
$u.c = 'USA'
$u.setinfo()
$u.co = 'USA'
$u.setinfo()
$u | fl c*
The output looks like this now :
PS I:\Users\Administrator> $u | fl c*
cn : {Kenneth J. Myer}
c : {USA}
co : {USA}
codePage : {0}
countryCode : {840}
Children : {}
Container :
So from script we can set both to USA, still no answer.
# after setting back with interface :
PS I:\Users\Administrator> $u = $s.findOne().getdirectoryentry()
PS I:\Users\Administrator> $u | fl c*
cn : {Kenneth J. Myer}
c : {US}
co : {United States}
codePage : {0}
countryCode : {840}
Children : {}
From the solution posted I conclude they where looking for C and just did type an A to much ;-)
For the rest my answers will not be a suprise I think ;-)
