Use the `UserName` parameter to get a specific user by its username. The objects returned by `Get-User` are instances of `System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal`. These objects use external resources, which, if they are disposed of correctly, will cause memory leaks. When you're done using the objects returne by `Get-User`, call `Dispose()` on each one to clean up its external resources. `Get-User` is new in Carbon 2.0. .OUTPUTS System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal. .LINK Install-User .LINK Test-User .LINK Uninstall-User .EXAMPLE Get-User Demonstrates how to get all local users. .EXAMPLE Get-User -Username LSkywalker Demonstrates how to get a specific user. #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal])] param( [ValidateLength(1,20)] [string] # The username for the user. $UserName ) Set-StrictMode -Version 'Latest' Use-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -Session $ExecutionContext.SessionState $ctx = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext' ([DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.ContextType]::Machine) if( $Username ) { $user = [DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal]::FindByIdentity( $ctx, $Username ) if( -not $user ) { try { Write-Error ('Local user ''{0}'' not found.' -f $Username) -ErrorAction:$ErrorActionPreference return } finally { $ctx.Dispose() } } return $user } else { $query = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal' $ctx $searcher = New-Object 'DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalSearcher' $query try { $searcher.FindAll() } finally { $searcher.Dispose() $query.Dispose() } } } |
