    Hello,

    I have a dilemma and i would like to know if you can put me on the right track.

    by questioning the active directory on the members of the group.


     Get-ADGroupMember -identity "ZRPI.ADMINSERVEURS.BDD" -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties department| select name

    PS C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0> Get-ADGroupMember -identity "ZRPI.ADMINSERVEURS.BDD" -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties department| select name

    name    
    ----    
    MJ604328
    MJ488840
    MP522162
    MU150917
    MP523812

    exemple MJ604328 = J604328

    PS C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0> Get-ADGroupMember -identity "ZRPI.ADMINSERVEURS.BDD" -recursive | Get-ADUser -Properties department| select name | Get-Member


       TypeName : Selected.Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADUser

    Name        MemberType   Definition                    
    ----        ----------   ----------                    
    Equals      Method       bool Equals(System.Object obj)
    GetHashCode Method       int GetHashCode()

    To remove the first character of a string just do the following.

    $newstring = $somestring.Remove(0,1)

    Are you asking how to change the name of an Active Directory user?

    The Rename-ADObject will do that. Changing the name may have other consequences, depending on how the name property is used in any other applications you're running in your AD Forest.

    I think the request is to specifically remove only the first character of teh name no matter wat it is.

    The easiest way si to use the code I posted above.

    The following will remove the first character of any string no matter what teh first character is:

    $newstring = $somestring.Remove(0,1)
