Help for Custom Command

Question

Hey

I found this code for my Custom Command to autofill Description. Does anyone know how to modify it to handle grandparent i.e. go two levels up?

$parent = $Context.BindToObject($Context.TargetObject.Parent)
$Context.TargetObject.Put("Description", $parent.Get("name"))
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()

Best Regards

Hello Debarase,

You can use the following script to update the Description of an object with the name of its grand parent.

# Get grand parent DN
$grnadParentDN = (New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Ldap.DN" "%adm-ParentDN%").Parent

if ($grnadParentDN.Leaf.Type -eq "DC")
{
    $Context.LogMessage("Grand parent of object %fullname% is not an OU or container.", "Warning")
    return
}

# Update object description
$Context.TargetObject.Put("Description", $grnadParentDN.Leaf.Value)
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
