What Are You Doing Right Now

@black3dynamite HR at my old company said they were there to answer any of our questions. The HR director was a girl I went to elementary school with. I used to e-mail her complex, morally grey scenarios expecting her to answer my questions. She did a lot of the time. Learned a lot about how Jill thought. lol

Somtimes I love PowerShell

Apparently -erroraction doesn't work with get-aduser and such... I use a try/catch block in my code.

A little Googling and testing returned this.
Get-ADUser -filter { samaccountname -eq $SAM }
if $SAM has a username that doesn't exist, there's no error message. Just an empty value, which I can then use in the forthcoming if statement.

what are you trying to do?

Make AD accounts form a CSV of names, some of which already have accounts. As a challenge I wanted a programmatic way of ignoring those that exist rather than seeing errors that X account exists.

I think I’ve got it figured out.

Just got a call : " My Pc doesnt have a restart option."
Looking at it.. Nope! no restart option in the start menu .

this is Windows 7 Pro,,
The site did say they are using 2 different towers and one monitor using SCrlk to change between the two..

Any Ideas on why? or how to get them back?

Had to use Shutdown -r to restart today.
