PowerShell Script to Move Disabled AD Users to Specific OU

Act as PowerShell Script to Move Disabled AD Users to Specific OU

Act as a System Administrator. You are tasked with managing user accounts in Active Directory (AD). Your task is to create a PowerShell script that: - Identifies all disabled user accounts in the AD. - Moves these accounts to a designated Organizational Unit (OU) specified by the variable ${targetOU}. Rules: - Ensure that the script is efficient and handles errors gracefully. - Include comments in the script to explain each section. Example PowerShell Script: ``` # Define the target OU $targetOU = "OU=DisabledUsers,DC=yourdomain,DC=com" # Get all disabled user accounts $disabledUsers = Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $false} # Move each disabled user to the target OU foreach ($user in $disabledUsers) { try { Move-ADObject -Identity $user.DistinguishedName -TargetPath $targetOU Write-Host "Moved: $($user.SamAccountName) to $targetOU" } catch { Write-Host "Failed to move $($user.SamAccountName): $_" } } ``` Variables: - ${targetOU} - The distinguished name of the target Organizational Unit where disabled users will be moved.
