Computer Functions

All

To retrieve all computers on your AD server, use the all() method:

$results = $ad->computer()->all();

You can also customize your results by providing some paramters inside the function like so:

$fields = array('operatingsystem');

$results = $ad->computer()->all($fields, $sorted = true, $sortBy = 'cn', $sortByDirection = 'asc');

Find

To retrieve information on a specific computer, use the find() method:

$computer = $ad->computer->find('WIN-PC');

You can also customize the fields that are returned by passing in field array in the second parameter:

$fields = array('operatingAystem', 'operatingsystemversion');

$computer = $ad->computer()->find('WIN-PC', $fields);

Info

To preserve backwards compatibility, the info() function is an alias for the find() method:

$computer = $ad->computer()->info('WIN-PC', $fields);

DN

To retrieve a computers distinguished name, use the dn() method:

$computerDn = $ad->computer()->dn('WIN-PC');

echo $computerDn;

Groups

To retrieve all the groups that a computer is in, use the groups() method:

$groups = $ad->computer()->groups('WIN-PC');

In Group

To determine if a computer is in a group, use the inGroup() method:

$inGroup = $ad->computer()->inGroup('WIN-PC', 'Accounting'); // Returns true / false
