Powershell Active Directory - Limiting my get-aduser search to a specific OU and sub OUs

Question

Just wrote a script that disables an account  moves it to a disabled OU and changes the description on the user object  but I want to make it more efficient     My work AD structure has all users under Root - accounts OU  and the 50 or so department OUs under that accounts OU      How can I START my search at the accounts OU and have it check every sub OU in accounts

If I understand you correctly  you need to use -SearchBase   Get-ADUser -SearchBase  OU Accounts OU RootOU DC ChildDomain DC RootDomain DC com  -Filter     Note that Get-ADUser defaults to using   -SearchScope Subtree   so you don t need to specify it   It s this that gives you all sub-OUs  and sub-sub-OUs  etc
