Syntax

Default (Default)

Invoke-SPProjectActiveDirectoryGroupSync
    [-Url] <Uri>
    [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

In Project Server permission mode, groups can be created to assign permissions and synced with Active Directory groups to determine group membership. The Invoke-SPProjectActiveDirectoryGroupSync cmdlet manually starts the job that synchronizes the group membership from Active Directory into Project Server.

For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for Project Server, see the online documentation at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=251833 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=251833).

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Invoke-SPProjectActiveDirectoryGroupSync -Url https://AppServer/pwa

This example synchronizes group membership for the specified PWA instance.

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

Applicable: Project Server 2013, Project Server 2016, Project Server 2019

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
