Search Users from Multiple Domains Using a Common Attribute–PowerShell Script

This script searches 2 Active Directory domains using a common matching attribute value (employeeID) and creates an out file with Source SamAccountName, Target SamAccountName and Name.  You can use this script if you are performing user migrations and merging user accounts during the migration.

Input file – Empid.csv – contains all employee IDs.

Output file – UserInfo.txt - The script generates a TAB delimited file output which contains Source SamAccountName, Target SamAccountName and Name files.

In this script I am using employeeID as the common attribute to search user account in the source (ss-infra.lab) and target (santhosh.lab) domains.

During migrations we often require to find duplicate accounts ( users, groups or computers) between source and target domains. How can this script be used to accomplish this. Thanks.

Duplicate Names? It depends on the attribute. You can change the attribute filter in the script. I am using Employee ID. Also update the input file with correct values.

Hi Santosh,

need your help.. I want a script which will read users NT name from txt file. search in three child trusted domains & if found add them to a group. This group is located in domain1.

Users are located in multiple OUs and could reside in any domain.
Input file users.txt contains only user name in the following format:

user12345
user23456
user34567
user45678
so on.....

Can you please help asap.
