This PowerShell script is intended for use by U.S. Air Force Unit Training Managers (UTM). Part of a UTM's regular routine involves querying the Advanced Distributed Learning Service (ADLS) for training records and merging the results with a set of locally-maintained records. Rather than tediously making point-and-click queries by hand, PowerShell enables a UTM to automate the process of pulling and merging ADLS training records.
If you haven't already, download the code from this repository and extract the archive now located in your Downloads directory. Next, open a PowerShell window, navigate to the directory where your script is located, and invoke the program without any command line arguments.
cd .\Downloads\Pull-ADLS-master\Pull-ADLS-master\
.\Pull-ADLS.ps1
If presented with a security warning, enter R to continue. The script will automatically determine your organization name and ID from your CAC certificate information. If this is the first time you've run the script in this window, you'll need to enter the UTM code you usually use when logging into the ADLS administration page. All subsequent invocations of the script in this window will remember the UTM code you originally entered.
