In continuation to previous blog post ServiceNow Orchestration and Powershell : Setup your virtual AD serverServiceNow Orchestration and Powershell :Set-up and test network communication in a series of Orchestration and Powershell, we are now going create small organizational structure for our Organization or domain.
1) Some OU (Organizational Units) in our AD Server (Locations for our organization)
2) Some Users in these OUs. (Employees, Contractors etc.)
Open the workflow we have setup in previous post.
Type below command as input to workflow
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'India' -Path "DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
Once done, we will create some cities under OU="India".
Run workflow with below commands to create additional OUs in your domain controller
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Banglore' -Path "OU=India, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Pune' -Path "OU=India, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Hydrabad' -Path "OU=India, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'US' -Path "DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Belgium' -Path "DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'France' -Path "DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'New York' -Path "OU=US, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Brussels' -Path "OU=Belgium, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name 'Paris' -Path "OU=France, DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=COM" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
Now go to our Active Directory server and open "Active Directory Users and Computer" console.
You will notice OUs got created based on commands we run from our workflow
Now lets create some sample users under these OUs, Run these commands using ServiceNow workflow we have build.
New-ADUser -Name "Sachin" -path "OU=Banglore,OU=India,DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=com" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADUser -Name "Rahul" -path "OU=Banglore,OU=India,DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=com" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADUser -Name "Robin" -path "OU=Hydrabad,OU=India,DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=com" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
New-ADUser -Name "Frank" -path "OU=Paris,OU=France,DC=YourDomainControllerName,DC=com" -Server ADServerIPAddress -credential $cred
Once done, you should be able to see users got created under OUs we have specified.
So now we are ready with some OUs and Some users under it, you can add number of similar OUs and users and have your own organisational hierarchy
