Powershell - Initiator

Hi Team.

I have a workflow that sends an email and moves an account to the correct OU when its created. What i am trying to do is add some info in to the Info or Notes AD attribute. Something like Account created by ABC and then the date.

I have the bare bones of something but unsure how to pass the SamAccountName of the person who created the account.

function ServiceAccount($Request
{

set-QADUser -Identity $Request.GUID -ObjectAttributes @{ 'Info' = Account created by  }
}

Glad to hear you figured it out.

FYI, if you need to achieve this in code, you can get the Initiator thus:

$Request.([ref]$strSam,[ref]$strDN)

In this example, you would get the samaccountname and the distinguishedname…

In this example, you would get the samaccountname and the distinguishedname of the Initiator returned "by reference" into the variables shown - i.e. $StrSam and $StrDN
