Powershell Text Color

I have a small Powershell script that I run to show HR the status of a terminated user account. Is there a way to have the color change from the default to RED if the LastLogonDate exceeds the time of the ModifiedDate?

Get-ADUser $User1 -Properties Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified | Select Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified

I'm not married to the code, so if there's a better way to do this, I'm interested in knowing more.

The issue is you are working with a table.

You can change the whole table red or just add a warning in red.

I would just put a warning in red.


$table=Get-ADUser $User1 -Properties Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified | Select Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified


$orginal=[console]::ForegroundColor 

if (  $table.LastLogonDate -gt   $table.Modified) {
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Warning! - Put info here!"
}

If you wanted to change the whole console color and change it back it is an option

$table=Get-ADUser $User1 -Properties Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified | Select Name, Enabled, UserPrincipalName, LastLogonDate, Modified


$orginal=[console]::ForegroundColor 

if (  $table.LastLogonDate -gt   $table.Modified) {
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Warning! - Put info here!"
    [console]::ForegroundColor = "Red"
    $table
    [console]::ForegroundColor = $orginal
} else {
    $table
}
