Get email address of a reference.

Question

We have an AD Atturbute called HRManager which refferances AD accounts (like the manager attubute does) is there a way to get the email address of the referanced account in a script?

Answer 1

Hello,

Yes, it is possible using the below script for a DN syntax property like the Manager one. In the script, the $propertyName variable specifies the LDAP name of the property.

$propertyName = "manager" #TODO: modify me

# Get the object DN
try
{
    $dn = $Context.TargetObject.Get($propertyName)
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Property $propertyName is empty.", "Information")
    return
}

# Get object email
try
{
    $object = $Context.BindToObjectByDN($dn)
    $objectEmail = $object.Get("mail")
}
catch
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Object with DN $dn does not exist or has no email specified.", "Information")
    return
}
