Dynamic Collections Based On Logged In User's AD Attributes Such As Department, Job Title, Manager, Location, City, State Etc.

Hi PDQ,

I would like to create several Dynamic Collections based on the logged in user's AD attributes such as Department, Job Title, Manager, Location, City, State etc.

I can use a PowerShell Scanner if required. But how do I get these values into Custom Attributes within the PDQ Database for each Computer listed in PDQ Inventory after scanning AD via PowerShell based on the Computer Account?

Thanks.

    Hi Vishal,
    technically, the PowerShell script does create the Custom attributes for you. When you run a PowerShell scanner, the result is placed in Device > PowerShell. You can create a collection that draws the required information from here.

    For performace reason it's recommended to keep only the required information in there and not a large array of information the hadabase has to handle.
