Filter Arabic Words Using PowerShell

Question

We have some accounts in the Active Directory with an Arabic display name and we want to change it to English, but I don't know how to get these accounts first using PowerShell. I use Quest ActiveRoles to query the Active Directory

Get-QADUser -SizeLimit 0 -SearchRoot "OU Location" | ? {$_.displayName -contains "The Arabic Letter Filter"}

Thanks

Answer 1

You could test with a regular expression to find Arabic letters in the names. The following would yield True because of the Arabic letter (ـأ) in the middle of the word:

"Blaـأ‎Bla" -match "\p{IsArabic}"
