PowerShell : Using IronPython to Connect to AD and list children
- Iron Python is Released,
IronPython Release 1 P.0 Production
so here is an Hint example how to start the IronPython CLI (ipy.exe) from powershell and to connect to the Active Directory RootDSE and to list its children.
PS C:\PowerShell> C:\IronPython-1.0\ipy.exe
IronPython 1.0.60816 on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>> import sys
>>> import clr
>>> import System
>>>
>>> clr.AddReferenceByPartialName("System.DirectoryServices")
>>> root = System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry()
>>> for c in root.Children: print c.Name
...
CN=Builtin
CN=Computers
OU=Domain Controllers
CN=foo
CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals
CN=Infrastructure
CN=Ken Myer
CN=LostAndFound
OU=MowOtherOU
OU=MowOu
CN=NewUs:::er0003
CN=NewUser0010
CN=NewUser0011
CN=NewUser0012
CN=NTDS Quotas
CN=Program Data
CN=System
CN=Users
>>> exit
'Use Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit'
>>> ^Z
*Edit* Importing NameSpaces, Cool !, but do not throw $$ around ;-)
import System.DirectoryServices
from System.DirectoryServices import *root = DirectoryEntry()
>>> u = root.Children.Add("CN=fooBar","User")
>>> $u.name
Traceback (most recent call last):
SyntaxError: unexpected token bad character '$' (<stdin>, line 1)
>>> u.Name
'CN=fooBar'
Enjoy,
Greetings, /\/\o\/\/
