I've built a PowerShell 5.1 script to export all the users in the DB and save all the data in to a CSV file. The script allows you to set a date back in time so you can decide since when you'd like your users to be exported.

After some testing a realized that not all the users are exported, and upon further investigation I realized that the property WhenChanged and WhenCreated are not present for each user. Despite the AD UI showing the property with the right data, as seen in the screenshot bellow.

When I run the following command:

Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties LastLogonDate, userPrincipalName, initials, WhenCreated, whenChanged | Select-Object userPrincipalName, initials, whenCreated, whenChanged 

I get the following result:

 userPrincipalName  initials whenCreated            whenChanged          
-----------------  -------- -----------            -----------

[email protected] TT                                                   

As you can see the user with the initials TT has no value despite the screenshot showing that it has them. Despite me creating this user today, and changing few values the same day.

Questions

• What am I missing?
• Is it a problem with AD itself or just the command?

I'm looking to get access to the admin page of the CUPS web interface.

I can reach the page, and I can browse the majority of the site, but sadly the Admin page is still locked from remote sources.

I did set Allow from all and also tried Allow all everywhere now, and still I can't access the page.

What am I missing?

Right now I manually creating the same set of alerts for a bunch of EC2 that I have. Is it possible to make a default set of alerts, and set those to a selected EC2 instances.

So I have a consistent group of alerts and I'm sure I didn't miss anything?
