POPowerShell: Script failing because AD objects have not replicated soon enough
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a script that creates two groups, a hand full of folders, and sets permissions on those folders. In my testing environment all of these processes work without issue but in my production environment I run into a problem. Setting the permissions on the folders fail since the groups I created have not replicated through all 8 of my domain controllers. Can have PowerShell work with only one of the DC's so I don't have to wait for the replication? Should I put the script to sleep for X seconds? Or is there some way to see if the groups are on all the DC's or at least on the one I am working? </p> <p>This is how I am making the groups:</p> <pre><code>New-ADGroup -Name $Admin_GRP -path "OU=Users,OU=Sandbox,DC=test,DC=local" -GroupScope Global New-ADGroup -Name $User_GRP -path "OU=Users,OU=Sandbox,DC=test,DC=local" -GroupScope Global </code></pre> <p>This is how I am setting the permissions on one of the folders:</p> <pre><code>#Set permissions on root directory $ACL = Get-Acl $PathToFolder #For Admin $Permission = $Admin_GRP,"Write,ReadAndExecute,Synchronize,DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles","Allow" $Access_Rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $Permission $ACL.AddAccessRule($Access_Rule) $ACL | Set-Acl $PathToFolder #For Users $Permission = $User_GRP,"ReadAndExecute,Synchronize","Allow" $Access_Rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $Permission $ACL.AddAccessRule($Access_Rule) $ACL | Set-Acl $PathToFolder </code></pre>
