Collections syntax

Collections Reference
Active Directory - Computers

AllComputers
AllComputers <DomainName>

Returns all Active Directory computers. If no domain name is specified, current domain is assumed.
Example: ForEach Computer in [AllComputers]

DomainControllers
DomainControllers <DomainName>

Returns all domain controllers. If no domain name is specified, current domain is assumed.
Example: ForEach DC in [DomainControllers]
Active Directory - Groups - Computers

ComputerGroups
ComputerGroups <ComputerName>

Returns all Active Directory groups of which the computer is a member (directly or through nested groups). An example of a nested group: A computer is a member of 'Sales Florida Computers', which is, in turn, a member of 'Sales America Computers'. In this scenario, the computer is implicitly a member of 'Sales America Computers', so both are included. If no computername is specified, the executing computer is assumed. The domain is, by default, the domain of the logged-on user. To specify another domain, use: <Domain>\<ComputerName>.
Example: ForEach Group in [ComputerGroups]

GroupComputers <GroupName>

Returns all Active Directory computers that are members of the group (directly or through nested groups). An example of a nested group member: When retrieving members of a group named 'Sales America Computers' and a group named 'Sales Florida Computers' is a also member of 'Sales America Computers', then all 'Sales Florida Computers' computers are also included as members of 'Sales America Computers'. The domain is, by default, the domain of the logged-on user. To specify a different domain, use <Domain>\<GroupName>. Returned computers are not prefixed with domain names unless they are from a different domain than the group, in which case they are returned as AcmeDomain2\Computer. Groups from the same domain are never prefixed.
Example: ForEach Computer in [GroupComputers]
Active Directory - Groups - Users

GroupUsers <GroupName>

Returns all Active Directory users that are members of the group (directly or through nested groups). An example of a nested group member: When retrieving members of a group named 'Sales America Users' and a group named 'Sales Florida Users' is a also member of 'Sales America Users', then all users of 'Sales Florida Users' are included as members of 'Sales America Users'. By default, the domain is that of the logged-on user. To specify a different domain, use <Domain>\<GroupName>. Returned users are not prefixed with domain names unless they are from a different domain than the group, in which case they are returned as AcmeDomain2\User. Groups from the same domain are never prefixed.
Example: ForEach User in [GroupUsers Sales America Users]

UserGroups
UserGroups <UserName>

Returns all Active Directory groups of which the user is a member (directly or through nested groups). An example of a nested group is: When a user is a member of 'Sales Florida Users' and 'Sales Florida Users' is a member of 'Sales America Users', then the user is implicitly a member of 'Sales America Users' and both are included. If no user is specified, the currently logged-on user is assumed. If the domain is different than the current users' domain, specify the user as: <Domain>\<UserName>.
Example: ForEach Group in [UserGroups]
Active Directory - Groups

AllGroups
AllGroups <DomainName>

Returns all Active Directory groups. If no domain name is specified, the current domain is assumed.
Example: ForEach Group in [AllGroups]

GroupGroups <GroupName>

Returns all Active Directory groups of which the group is a member (directly or through nested groups). The domain is, by default, that of the logged-on user. To specify another domain, use: <Domain>\<GroupName>.
Example: ForEach Group in [GroupGroups Domain Users]

GroupSubGroups <GroupName>

Returns all Active Directory groups that are members of the group directly or groups that are nested groups. An example of a nested group member: When retrieving members of a group named 'Sales America Computers' and a group named 'Sales Florida Computers' is a also member of 'Sales America Computers', then all 'Sales Florida Computers' computers are also included as members of 'Sales America Computers'. By default, the domain is that of the logged-on user. To specify a different domain, use <Domain>\<GroupName>. Returned subgroups are not prefixed with domain names unless they are from a different domain than the group, in which case they are returned as AcmeDomain2\Group. Groups from the same domain are never prefixed.
Example: ForEach Group in [GroupGroups]
Active Directory - Organizational Units - Computers

ComputersInOU <OUName>

Returns all computers in an Organizational Unit or a container in the Active Directory. OUs in sub-OUs are included unless the DisableOURecursion is issued. The domain is, by default, the domain of the logged-on user. To specify another domain, use: <Domain>\<OUName>. An OU can be located by either its name (if unique), distinguished name or a special FastTrack slash notation. If the name of an OU is unique, simply use the name and it will automatically be found. If the name might be ambiguous, a slash notation from the root can be used instead of full distinguished name. For example an OU "Sales" under a root OU "America" would have a distinguished name of for example OU=Sales,OU=America,DC=ACME,DC=COM. Simply use America/Sales for simpler syntax instead. If the OU actually contains a slash, use double slash to escape.
Example: ForEach Computer in [ComputersInOU AcmeSales]
Active Directory - Organizational Units - Groups

GroupsInOU <OUName>

Returns all groups in an Organizational Unit or a container in the Active Directory. OUs in sub-OUs are included unless the DisableOURecursion is issued.
