when exporting to the text file compare-object issue - powershell

I want to get an output like below.
My output now :
Name Active PrimarySmtpAddress
---- ------ ------------------
DG_Group1 True mail1#contoso.com
DG_Group2 False mail2#contoso.com
DG_Group3 True mail3#contoso.com
My desired output :
mail1#contoso.com
mail2#contoso.com
mail3#contoso.com
script :
$DistroLists = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited
$MessageTrace = Get-MessageTrace -RecipientAddress $DistroLists.PrimarySmtpAddress -startdate (Get-Date).AddDays(-8) -EndDate (Get-Date)
$DistroLists |
Foreach-Object {
$_ | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Active -Value (
$_.PrimarySmtpAddress -in $MessageTrace.RecipientAddress
) -PassThru
} |
Select-Object Name, Active, PrimarySmtpAddress | Where-Object Active -EQ "FALSE"
Out-File C:\output.txt

You can use Select-Object -ExpandProperty or ForEach-Object -MemberName to grab only the value of a specific property from one or more piped input objects:
... |Select-Object Name, Active, PrimarySmtpAddress | Where-Object Active -eq $false | ForEach-Object -MemberName PrimarySmtpAddress | Out-File...

You can skip first two lines and split the line using space characters. Finally pick the last column as given below:
Get-Content C:\Projects\logtext.txt | Select-Object -Skip 2 | ForEach-Object { "$(($_
-split '\s+',3)[2])" }
mail1#contoso.com
mail2#contoso.com
mail3#contoso.com

Format CSV From Object

I am trying to figure out how to create a .csv from a PowerShell object that has the appropriate columns. I want to create a .csv file with three columns (User ID, Country, Count). It also needs to sort by User ID and then Country (A to Z). In the example code below, I want the output to be like this:
User ID, Country, Count
Bob, China, 2
Joe, Canada, 1
Joe, United States, 1
$path = "C:\test\test.csv"
Set-Content -Path $path -Value “UserId, Country”
Add-Content -Path $path -Value "Joe, United States", "Bob, China", "Bob, China", "Joe, Canada"
(Import-Csv -Path $path) | Group-Object -Property UserID, Country -NoElement | Select-Object * -ExcludeProperty Values, Group | Select-Object #{Name="User ID, Country";Expression={$_.Name}}, Count | Export-Csv -Path $path -NoTypeInformation -Force
Get-Content -Path $path
Unfortunately, when I run this, User ID and Country are in the same column as below:
"User ID, Country","Count"
"Joe, United States","1"
"Bob, China","2"
"Joe, Canada","1"
I believe the problem stems from Select-Object #{Name="User ID, Country";Expression={$_.Name}}. How can I get this to be in three columns sorted as requested above? As a bit of an aside, I do not fully understand the syntax of the problem code. If you could explain what the #{Name="User ID, Country";Expression={$_.Name}} does, I would appreciate it.
EDIT
Here is my actual code in case this helps with the problem at all.

$lastMonth = (get-date).AddMonths(-1)
$startDate = get-date -year $lastMonth.Year -month $lastMonth.Month -day 1
$endDate = ($startDate).AddMonths(1).AddSeconds(-1)
$operation = UserLoginFailed
$path = "C:\Failed Logins $($lastMonth.ToString("yyyy_MM")).csv"
Set-Content -Path $path -Value “UserId, Country”

$userIds = $logs.userIds | Sort-Object -Unique
foreach ($userId in $userIds) {
$ips = #()
$searchResult = ($logs | Where-Object {$_.userIds -contains $userId}).auditdata | ConvertFrom-Json -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$ips = $searchResult.clientip
foreach ($ip in $ips) {
$mergedObject = #{}
$singleResult = $searchResult | Where-Object {$_.clientip -contains $ip} | Select-Object -First 1
Start-sleep -m 400
$ipresult = Invoke-restmethod -method get -uri http://ip-api.com/json/$ip
$UserAgent = $singleResult.extendedproperties.value[0]
$singleResultProperties = $singleResult | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty
foreach ($property in $singleResultProperties) {
if ($property.Definition -match "object") {
$string = $singleResult.($property.Name) | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
$mergedObject | Add-Member -Name $property.Name -Value $string -MemberType NoteProperty
}
else {$mergedObject | Add-Member -Name $property.Name -Value $singleResult.($property.Name) -MemberType NoteProperty}
}
$property = $null
$ipProperties = $ipresult | get-member -MemberType NoteProperty
foreach ($property in $ipProperties) {
$mergedObject | Add-Member -Name $property.Name -Value $ipresult.($property.Name) -MemberType NoteProperty
}
$mergedObject | Select-Object UserId, Country | Export-Csv $path -Append -NoTypeInformation
}
}
(Import-Csv -Path $path) | Group-Object -Property UserID, Country -NoElement | Select-Object * -ExcludeProperty Values, Group | Select-Object #{Name="User ID, Country";Expression={$_.Name}}, Count | Export-Csv -Path $path -NoTypeInformation
Basically, I will have a .csv file that contains a bunch of email addresses and failed login attempts by country. The last line is used to count how many failed attempts each email address has from each company. This is where the problem is.
I have simplified your problem statement, in order to tackle one issue at a time.
I set out to solve the simple problem of producing the output CSV file you want from
the input CSV file you stated. I created the input file with notepad, instead of with powershell.
Here is what I came up with:
<# Summarizes log by user and country. #>
Import-csv logfile.csv |
Sort-Object UserID, Country |
Group-Object UserID, Country |
foreach { $b = $_.name -split ', '
[PSCustomobject] #{UserID = $b[0]; Country= $b[1]; Count=$_.count}}|
Export-Csv summary.csv
Import-Csv logfile.csv | Format-table
Import-Csv summary.csv | Format-table
The last two steps just display the input and the output CSV files. This is what it looked like when I ran it.
UserID Country
------ -------
Joe United States
Bob China
Bob China
Joe Canada
UserID Country Count
------ ------- -----
Bob China 2
Joe Canada 1
Joe United States 1
As mentioned in my comment, you'll need two calculated properties to split the Name again.
(Import-Csv $path) | Group-Object 'User ID',Country -NoElement |
Select-Object #{n='UserID';e={($_.Name -split ', ')[0]}},
#{n='Country';e={($_.Name -split ', ')[1]}},
Count | Export-Csv $Path -NoTypeInformation
This will yield the same output as Walter Mitty's solution.
You can make your life much easier when you use the availabe built in cmdlets for CSV data like this:
$path = 'C:\test\test.csv'
$Data = #'
UserID,Country,Count
Bob,China,2
Joe,Canada,1
Joe,United States,1
'#
ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter ',' -InputObject $Data -OutVariable CSVData
$CSVData | Export-Csv -Path $path -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter ','
You simply build your data as you need it completely and you convert it or export it in once.

Dump connected drives serials and users

I need to list users of a connected drive and it's serial # in an output file. I'll be connecting between 12-24 drives in arrays at a time. I would like to be able to put the assigned drive letters into a variable. And then have the entire script loop for each connected drive. dumping serial + linking it to the users of that drive in a CSV output file
How can I put the assigned drive letters into an array?
$(get-physicaldisk; get-childitem -path (array variable):\Users) | add-content C:\path\to\my\output.csv
almost gets the output I need when I try this on a single drive. But I'd really like to clean it up and only display the important info (PSChildName) excluding all default, public admin accounts to reduce duplicate un-needed info.
I wanted this to work
$(get-physicaldisk | select-object FriendlyName, SerialNumber)-$(get-childitem -path L:\Users| select-object PSChildName)
but it did not
I need it to grab the serial for each drive - and output the users associated with that drive … i'm struggling with making the output look the way I want.
For each - drive in array - output ((serial #) + (users on the drive)) amending my .csv
After much plugging and chugging i'm now here, thanks to everyone's help
function Get-UsersOnDrive([string[]]$DriveLetters){
if (!$DriveLetters){
$DriveLetters = Get-WmiObject Win32_Logicaldisk | %{$_.Name -replace ":", ""}
}
foreach($DriveLetter in $DriveLetters)
{
$SerialNumber = get-partition -DriveLetter $DriveLetter -ErrorAction Ignore | get-disk | select -ExpandProperty SerialNumber
$path = $DriveLetter + ":\Users"
$Users = get-childitem -path $path | select-object PSChildName
$Users | %{
$OutPut = new-object PsCustomObject
$OutPut | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SerialNumber -Value $SerialNumber -PassThru |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Username -Value $_
return $OutPut
}
}
}
Get-UsersOnDrive -DriveLetters #("C") | Export-Csv -Path C:\sample\Test.csv -NoTypeInformation
Ok so here is what i came up with and its rough
Get-WmiObject Win32_Logicaldisk | %{
$DriveLetter = $_.Name -replace ":", ""
$SerialNumber = get-partition -DriveLetter $DriveLetter | get-disk | select -ExpandProperty SerialNumber
$Users = Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile | select -ExpandProperty LocalPath | ?{$_ -like "$DriveLetter*"} | %{
$_ -replace '.*\\'
}
$Users | %{
$OutPut = new-object PsCustomObject
$OutPut | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SerialNumber -Value $SerialNumber -PassThru |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Username -Value $_
return $OutPut
}
} | Export-Csv -Path C:\sample\Test.csv -NoTypeInformation
A. Get WMI LogicalDisk (gets you the drive letters)
B. Pass the $DriveLetter into a get-partition and get the SerialNumber property value.
C. Get Users Profile path, then find the ones on the current drive and replace everything except for the last slash, which is the username
D. Foreach user on drive we create a Custom Object and add the properties SerialNumber and Username, then return output and export to CSV
Here is a function that you can call to get users on drive as well
function Get-UsersOnDrive([string[]]$DriveLetters){
if (!$DriveLetters){
$DriveLetters = Get-WmiObject Win32_Logicaldisk | %{$_.Name -replace ":", ""}
}
foreach($DriveLetter in $DriveLetters){
$SerialNumber = get-partition -DriveLetter $DriveLetter -ErrorAction Ignore | get-disk | select -ExpandProperty SerialNumber
$Users = Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile | select -ExpandProperty LocalPath | ?{$_ -like "$DriveLetter*"} | %{
$_ -replace '.*\\'
}
$Users | %{
$OutPut = new-object PsCustomObject
$OutPut | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name SerialNumber -Value $SerialNumber -PassThru |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Username -Value $_
return $OutPut
}
}
}
Get-UsersOnDrive -DriveLetters #("C","V","F") | Export-Csv -Path C:\sample\Test.csv -NoTypeInformation
If you remove -DriveLetters parameter and the drives then it will check all drives
The following code gets the disk serial number. I am not sure why that is needed. Will this give you a start?
function Get-DiskSerialNumber {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true,Position=0)]
[string] $DriveLetter
)
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_DiskDrive |
Get-CimAssociatedInstance -Association Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition |
Get-CimAssociatedInstance -Association Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition |
Where-Object DeviceId -eq $DriveLetter |
Get-CimAssociatedInstance -Association Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition |
Get-CimAssociatedInstance -Association Win32_DiskDriveToDiskPartition |
Select-Object -Property SerialNumber
}
& openfiles /query /fo csv |
Select-Object -Skip 5 |
ConvertFrom-Csv -Header #('ID','USER','TYPE','PATH') |
Select-Object -Property USER,#{name='DRIVE';expression={$_.PATH.Substring(0,2)}} |
Sort-Object -Property DRIVE,USER -Unique |
Select-Object -Property *,
#{name='SERIALNUMBER';expression={(Get-DiskSerialNumber -Drive $_.DRIVE).SerialNumber}}

How can I format this output better?

I would like to pipe the output to a .csv, but when I do, I cannot add the host name, so I have settled on shooting it to a .txt, however, I don't have much latitude to manipulate the results.
The original one-liner was:
$([ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME").Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user'} | select #{l='name';e={$_.name}},#{l='LastLogin';e={$_.lastlogin}} | export-csv C:\csv.csv
I have modified it to run against a list, however, the original code does not denote the host name... I would love to know how to do this. Here is the modified code:
$computers = Get-Content C:\LocalLogin.txt
ForEach ($Computer in $Computers)
{
$COMPUTER | Out-File C:\StaleLocalLogins.txt -Append
$([ADSI]"WinNT://$COMPUTER").Children |
where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user'} |
select #{l='name';e={$_.name}},#{l='LastLogin';e={$_.lastlogin}} |
Out-File C:\StaleLocalLogins.txt -Append
}
So basically you can add the hostname from $env:COMPUTERNAME to a later part of the script. Below is a 1 liner but spaced for ease of reading
$([ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME").Children |
where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user'} |
select #{l='name';e={$_.name}},#{l='LastLogin';e={$_.lastlogin}} |
%{
$_ |
Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "HostName" -Value "$env:COMPUTERNAME"
$_ | Select-Object "HostName", "Name", "LastLogin"
} | Export-Csv "C:\Test\test.csv"
This part adds a new property to the PSCustomObject that was created. It stores the hostname. Then it reorders the customobject in the order HostName, Name, LastLogin
%{
$_ | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "HostName" -Value "$env:COMPUTERNAME"
$_ | Select-Object "HostName", "Name", "LastLogin"
}
here it is as a one-liner
$([ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME").Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user'} | select #{l='name';e={$_.name}},#{l='LastLogin';e={$_.lastlogin}} | foreach-object {$_ | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "HostName" -Value "$env:COMPUTERNAME"; $_ | Select-Object "HostName", "Name", "LastLogin"} | Export-Csv "C:\scripts\test.csv" -NoTypeInformation

combine get-user get-mailboxstatistics exchange 2010

I need to create a report for exchange server 2010.
Where I need the users Display name, lastlogontime and account status ie enabled or disable.
get-mailbox statistics shows lastlogon and get-user can show account control status.
So I tried this not working anyhow.
Get-User -ResultSize Unlimited | Where { $_.RecipientType -eq ‘UserMailbox’ } | ForEach { $Users = #{} } { $Users[$_.SamAccountName] = $_ }
get-mailboxstatistics -server 00-exchbx01 |
ForEach {
New-Object psobject |
Add-Member -PassThru NoteProperty name $_.name |
Add-Member -PassThru NoteProperty lastlogontime $_.lastlogontime |
Add-Member -PassThru NoteProperty UserAccountControl $Users[$_.SamAccountName].UserAccountControl
} |select name,lastlogontime,useraccountcontrol |sort-lastlogontime -descending | export-csv c:\ussersxx.csv -nti
also tried No luck Yet any Help?
Get-User -ResultSize Unlimited | Where { $_.RecipientType -eq ‘UserMailbox’ } | ForEach { $Users = #{} } { $Users[$_.SamAccountName] = $_ } | get-mailboxstatistics -server 00-exchbx01 | select Name,useraccountcontrol, lastlogontime|sort-lastlogontime -descending | Export-csv c:\report.csv
`
This should do it.
$outtbl = #()
$users = Get-User -ResultSize Unlimited | Where { $_.RecipientType -eq ‘UserMailbox’ }
$users | % {
$x = Get-MailboxStatistics $_ | Select LastLogonTime
$t = New-Object PSObject -Property #{
Name = $_.Name
LastLogonTime = $x.LastLogontime
UserAccountControl = $_.UserAccountControl
}
$outtbl += $t
}
This is the way I've always done these "combining results of different commands" type scenarios.
You can then do $outtbl | Sort LastLogonTime -Descending | Export-Csv c:\ussersxx.csv -nti to export the data
There's a couple of things here, most of that looks fine except for your last line:
||sort-lastlogontime -descending |
This should become:
| sort -property lastlogontime -descending |
What you'll also run into is that you might end up with things coming down the pipeline from Get-MailboxStatistics that aren't in your $Users hash table. This will results in getting errors when using your hash table to fill out a property the psobject.
You could adjust this to iterate through the hash table, passing the SamAccountName as the value for the Identity property (but this will likely be slower), or add in some error handling so that you just end up with an empty property rather than it completely erroring out.

Script output that will work on the console as well as with Export-Csv

I'm working on a basic PowerShell script that inputs a pair of dates then gets all accounts with passwords expiring between those times. I'd like to output the data to the console in a way that is compatible with Export-Csv. That way the person running the script can either just view in the console, or get a file.
Here is my script:
[CmdletBinding()]
param(
[string]$StartDate = $(throw "Enter beginning date as MM/DD/YY"),
[string]$EndDate = $(throw "Enter end date as MM/DD/YY")
)
$start = Get-Date($StartDate)
$end = Get-Date($EndDate)
$low = $start.AddDays(-150)
$high = $end.AddDays(-150)
$passusers = Get-ADUser -Filter { PasswordLastSet -gt $low -and PasswordLastSet -lt $high -and userAccountControl -ne '66048' -and userAccountControl -ne '66080' -and enabled -eq $true} -Properties PasswordLastSet,GivenName,DisplayName,mail,LastLogon | Sort-Object -Property DisplayName
$accts = #()
foreach($user in $passusers) {
$passLastSet = [string]$user.PasswordLastSet
$Expiration = (Get-Date($passLastSet)).addDays(150)
$obj = New-Object System.Object
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Name -Value $user.DisplayName
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Email -Value $user.mail
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Expiration -Value $expiration
$accts += $obj
}
Write-Output ($accts | Format-Table | Out-String)
This prints to the console perfectly:
Name Email Expiration

However when called with | Export-Csv it doesn't:
#TYPE System.String
Length
5388
I've tried multiple variations using objects, and data tables, however it seems like I can only get it to work for console or for CSV, not for both.
Replace
Write-Output ($accts | Format-Table | Out-String)
with
$accts
That way your users can run your script any way they like, e.g.
.\your_script.ps1 | Format-Table
.\your_script.ps1 | Format-List
.\your_script.ps1 | Export-Csv
.\your_script.ps1 | Out-GridView
...
Format-Table | Out-String converts your output to a single string whereas Export-Csv expects a list of objects as input (the object properties then become the columns of the CSV). If Export-Csv is fed a string, the only property is Length, so you get a CSV with one column and one record.
$accts | ConvertTo-Csv | Tee -File output.csv | ConvertFrom-Csv
