Get-VEADContainer
Returns backed-up Active Directory containers.
This cmdlet provides parameter sets that allow you to:
- Get all Active Directory containers in a domain.
Get-VEADContainer [-Domain] <VEADDomain> [[-Type] {UsersAndComputers | GroupPolicyObjects | IntegratedDNS |ConfigurationPartition}] [-Recurse] [<CommonParameters>] |
- Get Active Directory containers added to a parent container.
Get-VEADContainer [-Container] <VEADContainer> [[-Type] {UsersAndComputers | GroupPolicyObjects | IntegratedDNS |ConfigurationPartition}] [-Recurse] [<CommonParameters>] |
This cmdlet returns the VEADContainer object that contains an array of Active Directory containers. Use this object to restore Active Directory data.
Parameter | Description | Type | Required | Position | Accept Pipeline Input | Accept Wildcard Characters |
|---|
Domain | Specifies an Active Directory domain. The cmdlet will return an array of containers that are available in this domain. | Accepts the VEADDomain object. To get this object, run the Get-VEADDomain cmdlet. | True | 0 | True (ByValue) | |
Container | Specifies a parent container. The cmdlet will return containers that are available in this parent container. | Accepts the VEADContainer object. To get this object, run the Get-VEADContainer cmdlet. | True | 0 | True (ByValue) | |
Type | Specifies a type of an Active Directory container that you want to get. You can specify either of the following type: - UsersAndComputers
- GroupPolicyObjects
- IntegratedDNS
- ConfigurationPartition
| VEADContainerType | False | 1 | False | |
Id | Specifies an ID of an Active Directory child container. The cmdlet will return the Active Directory child container with this ID. | Guid | False | 1 | False | |
Name | Specifies a name of an Active Directory child container. The cmdlet will return the Active Directory child container with this name. | String | False | 1 | False | |
Recurse | Indicates that the cmdlet will look for objects from all Active Directory child containers. | SwitchParamter | False | 1 | False | |
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About Common Parameters section of Microsoft Docs.
The cmdlet returns the VEADContainer[] object that contains an array of Active Directory containers.
This example shows how to get top-level Active Directory containers that are added to a domain. $session = Get-VEADRestoreSession $domain = Get-VEADDomain -Session $session[3] Get-VEADContainer -Domain $domain |
Perform the following steps: - Run the Get-VEADRestoreSession cmdlet. Save the result to the $session variable.
The Get-VEADRestoreSession cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore session (in our example, it is the fourth restore session in the array). - Run the Get-VEADDomain cmdlet. Set the $session variable as the Session parameter value. Save the result to the $domain variable.
- Run the Get-VEADContainer cmdlet. Set the $domain variable as the Domain parameter value.
