Initialization Script |
|
|
Initialization script |
Usually, rules use query criteria to limit the query search scope. It improves the performance of the executed rule. Due to PowerShell limitations, it is not possible to use calculated expressions in query criteria. That is the point where the initialization script can help. You can initialize a global variable in this setting and then use it in query criteria. Important: To use a variable, declared in the initialization script, in the query scope, it must be global: $global:<variable name>.
Example: Update AD users, created in the last ten days.
{$global:DatePeriod = (Get-Date).AddDays(-10)}

Action Section
