Flow - Move user to AD OU

matt_a · ‎02-09-2022

Afternoon all, I am trying to move a user to a different active directory OU on the execution of a flow (not workflow).

I can see there is a PSscript: ActionMoveADObjecttoOU.ps1

Has anyone managed to get this working for a user rather than a computer using the AD spoke? And if so, how did you achieve it?

Thanks

To get this working i created a custom action using this PS script: In my set up, i have a table with all the OU's I need. then dynamically set it in my flow.

Create an action | ServiceNow Docs

if (test-path env:\SNC_username) {
$UserName = $env:SNC_username;
$OU = $env:SNC_OU;
};

try {

Get-ADUser -Identity "$UserName" | Move-ADObject -TargetPath "$OU"

Write-Host "SUCCESS: Moved $UserName to $OU"

}

catch {

$ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message

Write-Host "FAILED to move $UserName to $OU. Error message: $ErrorMessage"

}

Please mark helpful or correct 🙂

A screenshot of the action would also be super helpful!

We used oob action 'Update Object OU' to move the users to disabled OU in AD.

First we used 'Look up user' action in AD using Sam Account Name as the input.

Second we used 'Update Object OU'

For inputs:

1. Object - got the Distinguished Name of the user from the first action. This worked perfectly.

2. OU= whichever OU you want the user to be moved.

Hi,

You can use an OOTB action for the same. "Update AD Object OU".

Input is samaccoutname (User ID) and OU path like "OU=Users,OU=San Diego,OU=USSites,DC=snownet,DC=snow,DC=intranet"
