Switch causes PowerShell script to fail

tjmh7458 · 2021-06-10T18:25:27.000Z

Greetings, SpiceHeads!

I am working on a script to automate AD User creation including all appropriate Security Groups.However, when the Switch functions are active to check Title and Department, the script doesn’t even load. If I comment them out, the script runs and creates a basic user in the correct OU (which is also determined by Department using a separate and successful Switch.) The script is below. items are substitutions, and not the cause of the issue.

I am not a Sys Admin, and I chose to go into support rather than programming. I expect there is something fairly simple I am missing, but the testing I have done hasn’t revealed what it is, and the red text provided by PS as it loads isn’t up long enough to read.

Your time and assistance will be appreciated,

Welcome

If you post code, please use the ‘Insert Code’ button. Please and thank you!

You posted a lot of… stuff… can you narrow it down to where you think it is failing?
Also please avoid backticks ( ` ) and look into splatting instead.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING! Read if you're new to the PowerShell forum! Programming & Development

Hi, and welcome to the PowerShell forum! Don’t apologize for being a “noob” or “newbie” or “n00b.” There’s just no need – nobody will think you’re stupid, and the forums are all about asking questions. Just ask! Use a descriptive subject. Don't say "Need help" or "PowerShell Help", actually summarize what the problem is. It helps the rest of us keep track of which problem is which. Don’t post massive scripts. We’re all volunteers and we don’t have time to read all that, nor will we copy, past…

gary-m-g · 2021-06-11T11:57:58.000Z

Can you please shorten this to just the problem area?

tjmh7458 · 2021-06-14T12:43:59.000Z

OK, Thanks for the tips for posting better next time! I have bookmarked the page. If it’s possible to edit the original post, please let me know. I couldn’t find a way.

Reader’s Digest version:

I am trying to create a script to create a new user with all security for their position. The basic part works: An initial block causes a new window to open with Admin privileges, the user data is imported from csv, a Switch statement assigns the OU based on Department, password is created, one AD group is added, and the user is created and enabled.

After that, I tried inserting two more Switch activities to add the remaining security based on Title and Department. When either of them is active, the entire script fails in a quick flash of errors.

I have tried running without the Admin block, but then there are insufficient privileges to create the user.

I tried with a very simple second Switch, but it still failed.

I tried adding Write-Host statements and Start-Sleep statements to catch where it fails. No joy.

I found a recommendation to use logging. No joy.

I tried wrapping parts, and then the whole thing, in a Try/Catch.

Apparently this is failing at compile time.

Your time is appreciated!

tjmh7458 · 2021-06-15T18:28:07.000Z

Well, that was a pain. Due to the length of the script and the repetition of commands, I created the Switch statements in Excel. Apparently, some hidden character come over, because when I retyped the two opening statements directly in PS, (Just “Switch ($N.Dept)” and (Switch ($N.Title)" )the issue was resolved.

–

Thanks again for the posting tips. I suspect I’ll be back. This community is exceedingly reliable!

I found the Edit option, too.
