Mapped Share Drive not showing all the files available for the User

In this case, User has got Finance Drive (F:\) Mapped on his computer and when he opens the F: Drive he can only see one folder

If you UNC to the Finance drive \\servername\sharedFolder\ User can see more than 100 folders available to him.

The permission was right, tried deleting the Drive using 'net use' command, and logged off and logged back.

The Drive Mapped fine but still showing only one folder.

When I right-click and select properties of F: Drive it was showing the File System as CSC-CACHE

I have Created a DWORD(32Bit) FormatDatabase under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters, set its value to 1

Restart the computer, and it will clear the MAP Drive Cache, and you will be able to see all the folder in the Mapped Drive

Create AD Account in Bulk Using PowerShell

There are quite a few articles on the internet how to use PowerShell to create a Bulk AD Accounts but what I found is they are not covering how to add or change certain attributes. I have created this script with the help of some awesome guys on the internet.

# Import active directory module for running AD cmdlets
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
  
#Store the data from ADUsers.csv in the $ADUsers variable

$ADUsers = Import-csv C:\Users\senju\Desktop\ADUser\bulk_users1.csv

#Loop through each row containing user details in the CSV file 
foreach ($User in $ADUsers)
{
#Read user data from each field in each row and assign the data to a variable as below

$Username = $User.username
$Password = $User.password
$Firstname = $User.firstname
$Lastname = $User.lastname
$OU = $User.ou # Right click on the existing account, goto attribute editor and doubleclick distinguishedName and copy everything after CN
       $email      = $User.email
      $Password   = $User.Password
      $Description = $User.Description
      $MailNickName =$User.MailNickName
      $HideAddress =$User.HideAddress
      $Proxyaddresses =$User.Proxyaddresses
        
#Check to see if the user already exists in AD
if (Get-ADUser -F {SamAccountName -eq $Username})
{
#If user does exist, give a warning
Write-Warning "A user account with username $Username already exist in Active Directory."
}
else
{
#User does not exist then proceed to create the new user account

#Account will be created in the OU provided by the $OU variable read from the CSV file
     New-ADUser `
            -SamAccountName $Username `
            -UserPrincipalName "$Username@labo.local" `
            -Name "$Firstname $Lastname" `
            -GivenName $Firstname `
            -Surname $Lastname `
            -Enabled $True `
            -DisplayName "$Firstname $Lastname" `
            -Path $OU `
            -EmailAddress $email `
            -Description $Description `
            -AccountPassword (convertto-securestring $Password -AsPlainText -Force) -ChangePasswordAtLogon $False -PasswordNeverExpires $True
            
Set-ADUser -Id $UserName -Add @{
                MailNickName =$MailNickName
                }

Set-ADUser -Id $UserName -Add @{
                msExchHideFromAddressLists =$HideAddress
                }

      Set-ADUser -Identity $UserName -add @{
        Proxyaddresses=$Proxyaddresses
             }

Set-ADUser -Identity $Username -Enabled $True

         }
}

Remember to change the below items

1) Location of the CSV File
   $ADUsers = Import-csv C:\Users\senju\Desktop\ADUser\bulk_users1.csv

2) UPN 

   UserPrincipalName "$Username@labo.local (Should be your Domain)
