I am trying to run a PS script on all AD groups within the domain. I want to select the info attribute within the AD properties as this includes additional information.
I am trying to use the below script, i am getting the correct results however the info attribute never appears to be outputted. Any ideas?
Get-ADGroup -Filter * -Properties info,samAccountName, DistinguishedName,Description,info | Export- .\groups.Csv
TIA
The info attribute is never shown in the output because there is no parameter called info. To view what parameters you are able to capture, run
get-adgroup -filter * -properties *|select -first 1|get-member
Or to see what those values look like for a typical group you could run this
get-adgroup -filter * -properties *|select -first 1|format-list *
Try this:
Get-ADGroup -Filter * | Select-Object SamAccountName, DistinguishedName, Description | Export-Csv -Path .\groups.Csv
Update
Get-ADGroup -filter * -Properties info,description | Select-Object SamAccountName, DistinguishedName, Description, Info | Export-Csv -Path .\groups.Csv

I am running the below script with the intention to get all users that are currently enabled, password never expire, password last set and last logon date and it works just fine. I would like to add to the data the group those users/accounts belong to or any other information so i can contact their respective teams/managers to request clean up or decomm.
get-aduser -filter {Enabled -eq $TRUE} -properties passwordlastset, passwordneverexpires, lastlogonDate |
Select-Object Name, passwordlastset, Passwordneverexpires, lastlogonDate, DistinguishedName |
Export-Csv -Path 'C:\Temp\passlastset_enabledusers.csv'
How would i add this to this query. As it is works great but thought to avoid manual labor :)
Any advise? Thank you.
I personally like adding all of my properties to an array beforehand. Helps when you want to expand onto it in the future. As for the members groups, you need to create you own expression or else when you export to a csv it'll just say [Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADPropertyValueCollection]. Also added the users manager as one of the properties it selects.
$properties = #(
"passwordlastset",
"passwordneverexpires",
"lastlogonDate",
"memberof"
)
Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $true -and PasswordNeverExpires -eq $true} -properties $properties |
Select-Object Name, passwordlastset, Passwordneverexpires, lastlogonDate, DistinguishedName, Manager, #{Name='MemberOf';Expression={$_.MemberOf -join ';'}} |
Export-Csv -Path 'C:\Temp\passlastset_enabledusers.csv' -NoTypeInformation
I'm trying to get all groups that start with the following string from a user "DIR-*". With the following command I get all the groups of the user.
Get-ADUser -Identity $username -Properties memberof | Select-Object -ExpandProperty memberof
I then tried to filter with this, but that doesn't work because the list remains empty.
Get-ADUser -Identity $username -Properties memberof | Select-Object -ExpandProperty memberof | Where-Object {$_.CN -like "DIR-*"}
Unfortunately, I am still a complete beginner when it comes to Powershell, but I need the command promptly.
I thank you for any help.
I'm trying to get an AD Security Group down to a manageable size, but due to display limits in Powershell, this is proving difficult for me. The group is down to 47,720 now after removing all disabled AD accounts. Now I'm trying to filter it down to Enabled users that live in this particular OU. Below is what I've used with success in the console.
Get-ADGroup "very_large_secgroup" -properties Member | Select-Object -expandproperty member | get-aduser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=PurgeStudents,OU=DisabledAccounts,DC=contoso,DC=com" | Select-Object SamAccountName,DistinguishedName
When I try to count this, or pipe it via Out-File though, I get:
get-aduser : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that
take pipeline input.
At line:1 char:92
+ ... ty member | get-aduser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=PurgeStudents,OU=Dis ...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I am a novice in Powershell magic.
Instead of using -Filter *, you could filter for all previous retrieved users. And there is a cmdlet to get the members of a group:
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "very_large_secgroup" -Recursive | Foreach-Object {Get-ADUser -Filter "Name -like $_.Name" -SearchBase "OU=PurgeStudents,OU=DisabledAccounts,DC=contoso,DC=com" | Select-Object -Properties SamAccountName, DistinguishedName}
I'm trying to retrieve only enabled users in the AD. When I run this code line it returns the error. I tried using a filter as well to filter only enabled users for the requested info but it returns ALL users from every domain instead of just the single id.
Get-ADUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'enabled -eq 'true''.
This is my code that is throwing the error.
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Animal Shop A' | Get-ADUser -Filter '*' | Get-ADUser Where "enabled -eq 'true'" | Get-ADUser -Properties ('Mail')
This one returns ALL users from every domain
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Animal Shop A' | Get-ADUser -Filter "enabled -eq'true'" | Get-ADUser -Properties ('Mail')
Is my syntax wrong on both of them? If I just want to return values from say "Animal shop A" and then "Animal Shop B"
.. or a little bit shorter this way:
Get-ADUser -Filter 'enabled -eq $true' -Properties mail |
Select-Object -Property Name,samaccountname,mail
Besides this I would recommend to use a -SearchBase. That's less stressful for the AD. ;-)
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties mail | Where { $_.Enabled -eq $True} | Select Name,samaccountname,mail
That will get all enabled users in your target domain that are enabled and display the name, username, and mail properties
Important to know for both commands:
You must work with an elevated powershell process.
Otherwise the result may not be complete.
get-aduser -filter 'enabled -eq "true"' -ResultSetSize $Null
simply try below commands in powershell as administrator permission.
As a guide, the first part will filter users, second part filtered enabled users and last part will give you export of results.
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property Enabled | Where-Object {$_.Enabled -like “false”} | Export-Csv -Path C:\eport.csv -Encoding ascii -NoTypeInformation
hope to be useful for you.
I'm in the process of cleaning up my inherited Domain Admins group and remove service accounts that are no longer needed. I'm trying to pull the group membership of the Domain Admins group and feed it into a Get-ADUser, with little success.
$name = Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | select -ExpandProperty Name
Foreach-Object {
Get-ADUser -Filter { Name -Like "$name"} -Properties * | FT Name, LastLogonDate
}
If I run the Get-ADGroupMember by itself it works. If I run the Get-ADUser with a name from the list (instead of the $name variable) it works. But when I attempt to tie them together it does not work.
I am glad you were able to make it work but I would like to offer some advice. First don't use -Properties * when all you really needed was LastLogonDate. You are pulling more data than you need to. Also you don't even need the ForEach loop since Get-Aduser will accept the pipeline input very nicely.
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | Get-ADUser -Properties LastLogonDate |
Select Name,LastLogonDate
or if you really want console output, as supposed to standard output
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | Get-ADUser -Properties LastLogonDate |
Format-Table Name,LastLogonDate -AutoSize
Thanks #EBGreen, your comment pointed me in the right direction. I am able to get what I need with the following:
Get-ADGroupMember "domain admins" | select -ExpandProperty SamAccountName | % {
$name=$_
Get-ADUser $_ -Properties *
} | FT Name, LastLogonDate -AutoSize
