User Management with Powershell
We are using AD Integration with RDM as such when I need to create an account I only select "Integrated Security" and specify
Domain ID
User Type
First Name
Last Name
Email Address.
Currently I have departments submit this info on a CSV file in preparation of creating a script to import them. Today is the first time I am ready to do so but it seems the "new-RDMUser" cmdlet is surprisingly limited.
Is this the only programmatic way to create users with RDM or are there parameters available that are not published in Get-help.
If powershell can not do it, is there a better way to do it?

Hello,
When the user account has been created using New-RDMUser cmdlet, you can modify some properties before saving the account using Set-RDMUser.
Here is a sample of how this can be done. Only few properties are available like FirstName, LastName, Email address, Description but the UserType is a read only property and cannot be updated using PowerShell.$user = New-RDMUser -Login "MyDomain\useraccount" -IntegratedSecurity -Email "useraccount@mydomain.com"$user.FirstName = "FirstName"$user.LastName = "LastName"Set-RDMUser $user

This is great information, is there a list or way to get all possible options?
Hello,
You can use the Select-Object cmdlet on any object to get the list of its properties.

Duh... Thank you for that information!
I am trying to create a check to make sure a user is not pre-existing, but it seems the get-RDMUser is case sensitive. is there a way to make that case-insensitive?
Btw, get-member is also good. This works even when custom formats are applied that don't output all properties to console when using format table/list or also format-list -force
