Rule Settings
Query Section
| Setting name | Description |

Filter query results |
To hide unwanted data based on criteria, not supported by Active Directory query, set the filtering conditions here. Example: filter by the found object Distinguished Name. Tip: For optimal performance, use Query criteria above to filter objects whenever possible.

Sort by |
Sort result object list. |
|
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 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 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)}
