This command gets the root of the directory server information tree of FABRIKAM-ADLDS1 using the FABRIKAM\User1 credentials.

Parameters

-AdaxesService

Specifies the DNS name of an Adaxes service that will be used to execute this cmdlet. If this parameter is not specified, and the cmdlet is running from an Adaxes Active Directory provider drive, the value for this parameter can be determined from the current path. For example, if the current path is Adaxes:/example.com, the Adaxes service on example.com will be used. If the parameter is not specified and the service DNS name can't be determined from the current path, the cmdlet will access Active Directory directly.

Type:
string
Position:
Named
Required:
False
Default Value:
None
Accept pipeline input:
False
Accept wildcard characters:
False

-Credential

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Adaxes Active Directory PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default one.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.

If the acting credentials do not have permission to perform the task, the cmdlet returns a terminating error.

Type:
PSCredential
Position:
Named
Required:
False
Default Value:
None
Accept pipeline input:
False
Accept wildcard characters:
False

-Properties

Specifies the properties of the output object to retrieve from the server. Use this parameter to retrieve properties that are not included in the default set.

Specify properties for this parameter as a comma-separated list of names. To display all of the attributes that are set on the object, specify * (asterisk).

To specify an individual extended property, use the name of the property. For properties that are not default or extended properties, you must specify the LDAP name of the property.

Type:
string[]
Position:
Named
Required:
False
Default Value:
None
Accept pipeline input:
False
Accept wildcard characters:
False

-Server

Specifies the Active Directory Domain Services instance to connect to, by providing one of the following values for a corresponding domain name or directory server. Specify the AD DS instance in one of the following ways:

Domain name values:

Fully qualified domain name
NetBIOS name

Directory server values:

Fully qualified directory server name
NetBIOS name
Fully qualified directory server name and port

The default value for the Server parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:

By using Server value from objects passed through the pipeline.
By using the server information associated with the Adaxes Active Directory PowerShell provider drive, when running under that drive.
By using the domain of the computer running PowerShell.

Type:
string
Position:
Named
Required:
False
Default Value:
None
Accept pipeline input:
False
Accept wildcard characters:
False

Inputs

None

Outputs

Softerra.Adaxes.PowerShellModule.Directory.ADRootDSE

An ADRootDSE object that represents the data tree for the specified directory server is output by this cmdlet.
