Is it possible to open an Active Director or Exchange Management Console user dialog directly from Powershell?

  • 772

I'd like to be able to launch either the AD user dialog, or the EMC mailbox dialog directly from a Powershell script to open a specific user. The workflow goes something to the effect of "Does everything look correct on this user? Y/N" to continuing on, or to bringing up the account to edit.

There's no reason to completely duplicate the functionality of these dialogs. I don't mind requiring that EMC or ADU&C already be open before the script is run, if necessary.

  1. Depending on what information you need you could do something like the following in powershell

    get-aduser <username> -properties <comma separated list of properties> | out-gridview

    You can't edit things in that view, but if you're just verifying that things look right it might do the trick. If you wanted to get really fancy you could roll that into a script to take input from a CSV or something else and do multiple users at once.
