RE: Convert-PWUserToFederated example not working

Not sure it would matter but Get-PWUser is from the PWPS module that comes with ProjectWise Administrator and Convert-PWUserToFederated is from the PWPS_DAB module. Using Get-PWUsersByMatch from PWPS_DAB instead of Get-PWUser may fix this.

Both commands return objects with the same TypeName, however they differ in Properties and Methods the type has.

For users returned by Get-PWUser the object is (this is from Administrator 299):

   TypeName: Bentley.ProjectWise.PowerShell.Common.User

For users returned by Get-PWUsersByMatch the object is (from pwps_dab 2.1.7.0):

Hello Mike,

I've not used this cmdlet before. However, it seems like this should work (based on the Help information):

# Get ProjectWise Users.
$ProjectWiseUsers = Get-PWUserByMatch -Email '*bentley.com'

# Loop through each ProjectWise User in ProjectWise Users Array.
ForEach ($ProjectWiseUser in $ProjectWiseUsers)
    {
        # Convert ProjectWise User to Federated Type.
        Convert-PWUserToFederated -InputUser $ProjectWiseUser
    }

Hope this helps.
