A Power shell script for updating admin user SID and other details

on
Often I will load up the AX demo database under a different domain. I have write the following PowerShell script to help modify the admin user SID, login info, etc in AX. It uses Invoke-Sqlcmd SQL Server cmdlet to update the USERINFO table. 
                
$networkDomain = "[domain]"     # e.g. yourDomain.com
$networkAlias = "[user alias]"  
$name = "[user name]"                
$dbname = "[your AX DB Name]"             
$sqlServer = "localhost"             

$targetUserId = "admin"         # Change this to update other existing AX users

$objUser = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("$networkDomain","$networkAlias")
$sid = $objUser.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])

$sqlstmt = "UPDATE {5}.dbo.USERINFO SET SID = '{0}', NETWORKDOMAIN = '{1}', NETWORKALIAS = '{2}', Name = '{3}' " +
        "WHERE ID = '{4}'"
$sqlstmt = [string]::Format($sqlstmt,$sid, $networkDomain, $networkAlias, $name, $targetUserId, $dbname)

Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $sqlstmt -ServerInstance $sqlServer
Since I am using this on an all in one DEV box, the Invoke-Sqlcmd command-let is readily available. If Invoke-SqlCmd is not recognized in the machine you want to run the script, try the tips from this link.

    Nice post!
    But how could I change all my migrated users from one domain to another?
    I want to change networkDomain with similar automated cool solution.

      First of all, play with Get-ADUser to get only the AX users from AD. Then, modify the script above into a function. Once you have both, pipeline them..
      e.g.
      Get-ADUser -Filter [your filter] | foreach-Object { UpdateAXUser($_.SID, $_.SamAccountName) }

      Delete
