Combining 2 cmdlets for one result/output using pscustomobject - powershell

Question

Basically what i'm trying to achieve here is an output with 4 column/list (in this case i'm exporting as a text)
Get-MailboxPermission gives me a property of identity, user, accessrights but it doesn't give me a property of "Manager". I need to identify where that particular user reports to. So, i tried PSCustomObject and hoping i can put the results in an array. See script below
$GETMAILBOXPERM = Get-Content C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\MAILBOXESUSERS.txt | ForEach-Object {Get-MailboxPermission $_ |
where {
($_.User -notlike ‘*NT AUTHORITY*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*S-1-5-21-*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*NAMPRD08*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*PRDTSB01*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*0365Admin*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*Discovery Management*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*NAMPR08A005*’) -and
($_.User -notlike ‘*NT AUTHORITY*’)
}
}
$Results = foreach( $Mailbox in (get-content C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\MAILBOXESUSERS.txt))
{
$Users = Get-User $Mailbox
if ($Users){
foreach ($User in $Users){
[pscustomobject]#{
DisplayName = $User.name
Account = $GETMAILBOXPERM.user
Manager = $User.manager
Access = $GETMAILBOXPERM.accessrights
}
}
}
}
$Results | Format-List -Property DisplayName, Account, Manager, Access | Out-File C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\mailbox4.txt
Here's the output in text file. I get the DisplayName and Manager right but the Account and Access just doesn't seem to loop from the text file.
DisplayName : MAILBOX1
Account : {user1#domain.ca, user2#domain.ca, user3#domain.ca, user4#domain.ca...}
Manager : MANAGER1
Access : {FullAccess, FullAccess, FullAccess, FullAccess...}
DisplayName : MAILBOX2
Account : {user1#domain.ca, user2#domain.ca, user3#domain.ca, user4#domain.ca...}
Manager : MANAGER2
Access : {FullAccess, FullAccess, FullAccess, FullAccess...}

The user manager attribute is normally in ADDS, not Exchange. Yet, that text file seems to be where you are getting this from vs dynamically from ADDS.
Why are you using Format-List?
PowerShell will automatically format as a list the moment you columns exceed 5.
This is untested, since I do not have an environment to try it on, but a refactor of what you have here. Give it a shot.
$GetMailboxPerm = Get-Content -Path 'C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\MAILBOXESUSERS.txt' |
ForEach-Object {Get-MailboxPermission $PSitem |
where {
($PSitem.User -notlike ‘*NT AUTHORITY*|
*S-1-5-21-*|
*NAMPRD08*|
*PRDTSB01*|*0365Admin*|
*Discovery Management*|
*NAMPR08A005*|
*NT AUTHORITY*’)
}
}
foreach( $Mailbox in (Get-Content -Path 'C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\MailboxUsers.txt'))
{
$Users = Get-User $Mailbox
if ($Users)
{
foreach ($User in $Users)
{
[pscustomobject]#{
DisplayName = $User.name
Account = $GetMailboxPerm.user
Manager = $User.manager
Access = $GetMailboxPerm.accessrights
} | Out-File -FilePath 'C:\Users\Account\Desktop\MailboxUsers\mailbox4.txt' -Append
}
}
}
