Description

The Set-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet modifies the properties of an Active Directory organizational unit (OU). You can modify commonly used property values by using the cmdlet parameters. Property values that are not associated with cmdlet parameters can be modified by using the Add, Remove, Replace, and Clear parameters.

The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory organizational unit to modify. You can identify an organizational unit by its distinguished name or GUID.

You can also set the Identity parameter to an object variable such as $<localADOrganizationalUnitObject>, or you can pass an object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet to retrieve an organizational unit object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Set-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet.

The Instance parameter provides a way to update an organizational unit object by applying the changes made to a copy of the object. When you set the Instance parameter to a copy of an Active Directory organizational unit object that has been modified, the Set-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet makes the same changes to the original organizational unit object. To get a copy of the object to modify, use the Get-ADOrganizationalUnit object. When you specify the Instance parameter you should not pass the Identity parameter. For more information about the Instance parameter, see the Instance parameter description.

For Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) environments, the Partition parameter must be specified except in the following two conditions:

  • The cmdlet is run from an Active Directory provider drive.
  • A default naming context or partition is defined for the AD LDS environment. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance.

Examples

Example 1: Set a description for an OU

PS C:\> Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM" -Description "This Organizational Unit holds all of the users accounts of FABRIKAM.COM"

This command sets the description of the OU with the distinguished name OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM.

Example 2: Set the ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion property for an OU

PS C:\> Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM" -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $false

This command sets the ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion property to $False on the OU with distinguished name OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM.

Example 3: Set location properties for an OU

PS C:\> Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "OU=AsiaPacific,OU=Sales,OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM" -Country "AU" -StreetAddress "45 Martens Place" -City Balmoral -State QLD -PostalCode 4171 -Replace @{co="Australia"}

This command sets the Country, City, State, PostalCode, and Country properties on the OU OU=AsiaPacific,OU=Sales,OU=UserAccounts,DC=FABRIKAM,DC=COM.

Example 4: Set a property for an OU in an AD LDS instance

PS C:\> Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "OU=Managed,DC=AppNC" -Server "FABRIKAM-SRV1:60000" -Country "UK"

This command sets the Country property of the OU OU=Managed,DC=AppNC in an AD LDS instance.

Example 5: Set a property for a piped OU

PS C:\> Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "AccountingDepartment" | Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -ManagedBy "PattiFullerGroup"

This command modifies the ManagedBy property for the AccountingDepartment OU. The command uses the Get-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet to get the AccountingDepartment OU, and then passes the object to the current cmdlet by using the pipeline operator.

Example 6: Set a property for a local OU to modify an Active Directory OU

PS C:\> $OrganizationalUnit = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity "AccountingDepartment"
PS C:\> $OrganizationalUnit.ManagedBy = "PattiFullerGroup"
PS C:\> Set-ADOrganizationalUnit -Instance $OrganizationalUnit

This example modifies the ManagedBy property for the AccountingDepartment OU. The example modifies a local instance of the AccountingDepartment OU and then specifies the Instance parameter for the Set-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet as the local instance.

Parameters

-Add

Specifies values to add to an object property. Use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) display name. You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one property by separating them using a semicolon. The format for this parameter is:

-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}

When you use the Add, Remove, Replace, and Clear parameters together, the operations are performed in the following order:

  • Remove
  • Add
  • Replace
  • Clear
Type:Hashtable

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.

If the acting credentials do not have directory-level permission to perform the task, Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell returns a terminating error.

-Instance

Specifies a modified copy of an OU object to use to update the actual Active Directory OU object. When this parameter is used, any modifications made to the modified copy of the object are also made to the corresponding Active Directory object. The cmdlet only updates the object properties that have changed.

The Instance parameter can only update organizational unit objects that have been retrieved by using the Get-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet. When you specify the Instance parameter, you cannot specify other parameters that set properties on the object.

Type:ADOrganizationalUnit

Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Partition

Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition. The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by the Identity parameter.

In many cases, a default value is used for the Partition parameter if no value is specified. The rules for determining the default value are given below. Note that rules listed first are evaluated first and when a default value can be determined, no further rules are evaluated.

In AD DS environments, a default value for Partition are set in the following cases:

  • If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
  • If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
  • If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of Partition is set to the default partition or naming context of the target domain.

In AD LDS environments, a default value for Partition will be set in the following cases:

  • If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
  • If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
  • If the target AD LDS instance has a default naming context, the default value of Partition is set to the default naming context. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance.
  • If none of the previous cases apply, the Partition parameter does not take any default value.
