function Register-DMObjectCategory { <# .SYNOPSIS Registers a new object category. .DESCRIPTION Registers a new object category. Object categories are a way to apply settings to a type of object based on a ruleset / filterset. For example, by registering an object category "Domain Controllers" (with appropriate filters / conditions), it becomes possible to define access rules that apply to all domain controllers, but not all computers. Note: Not all setting types support categories yet. .PARAMETER Name The name of the category. Must be unique. Will NOT be resolved. .PARAMETER ObjectClass The ObjectClass of the object. This is the AD attribute of the object. Each object category can only apply to one class of object, in order to protect system performance. .PARAMETER Property The properties needed for this category. This attribute is used to optimize object reetrieval in case of multiple categories applying to the same class of object. .PARAMETER TestScript Scriptblock used to determine, whether the input object is part of the category. Receives the AD object with the requested attributes as input object / argument. .PARAMETER Filter A filter used to find all objects in AD that match this category. .PARAMETER LdapFilter An LDAP filter used to find all objects in AD that match this category. .PARAMETER SearchBase The path under which to look for objects of this category. Defaults to domain wide. Supports string resolution. .PARAMETER SearchScope How deep to search for objects of this category under the chosen searchbase. Supported Values: - Subtree: All items under the searchbase. (default) - OneLevel: All items directly under the searchbase. - Base: Only the searchbase itself is inspected. .PARAMETER ContextName The name of the context defining the setting. This allows determining the configuration set that provided this setting. Used by the ADMF, available to any other configuration management solution. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Register-DMObjectCategory -Name DomainController -ObjectClass computer -Property PrimaryGroupID -TestScript { $args[0].PrimaryGroupID -eq 516 } -LDAPFilter '(&(objectCategory=computer)(primaryGroupID=516))' Registers an object category applying to all domain controller's computer object in AD. #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Filter')] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string] $Name, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string] $ObjectClass, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string[]] $Property, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [scriptblock] $TestScript, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = 'Filter')] [string] $Filter, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = 'LdapFilter')] [string] $LdapFilter, [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [string] $SearchBase = '%DomainDN%', [Parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidateSet('Subtree', 'OneLevel', 'Base')] [string] $SearchScope = 'Subtree', [string] $ContextName = '<Undefined>' ) process { $script:objectCategories[$Name] = [PSCustomObject]@{ Name = $Name ObjectClass = $ObjectClass Property = $Property TestScript = $TestScript Filter = $Filter LdapFilter = $LdapFilter SearchBase = $SearchBase SearchScope = $SearchScope ContextName = $ContextName } } } |
