Remove certain characters from write-host output in Powershell (Get-ADuser) - powershell

Question

I'm comparing users between two domains to make sure users that are disabled in one, are disabled in the other, using these two steps:
Domain 1:
Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=ou2,OU=ou1,DC=pre,DC=domain1,DC=com" -Filter * -Properties * | Select-Object Name | Export-Csv -encoding "utf8" Users.csv
Domain 2:
$input = import-csv -path "Users.csv"
ForEach ($User in $input) {
$result = get-aduser -SearchBase "OU=ou2,OU=ou1,DC=pre,DC=domain2,DC=com" -Filter "name -eq '$($User.Name)'" | Select-Object Enabled
If ($result -eq $null) { Write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow $User "Name not found. Please do a manual check"
}
elseif ($result -like '*False*')
{
Write-host -ForegroundColor Red "**" $User "** must be disabled!"
}
else {get-aduser -SearchBase "ou=Users,ou=SCS,ou=All,dc=osit,dc=ad" -Filter "name -eq '$($User.Name)'" -Properties * | Select-Object Name, Enabled}
}
This works, but gives me the following output:
Name Enabled
---- -------
Firstname1 Lastname1 True
#{Name=Firstname2 Lastname2} - Name not found. Please do a manual check
How do I remove "#{Name=" and "}"?
I have tried adding -ExtendProperity to $result, and Replace with no luck. I'm probably doing it wrong..

Answer 1

$User is a custom object (type [pscustomobject], as output by Import-Csv), and #{Name=Firstname2 Lastname2} is its stringified representation[1], because Write-Host stringifies its arguments for display.
Access the .Name property instead to get just the name:
Write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow $User.Name "- Name not found. Please do a manual check"
More idiomatically, using a single expandable string (string interpolation inside "..."):
Write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow "$($User.Name) - Name not found. Please do a manual check"
If you want to include the full object representation as it would appear if you printed it directly to the console, you need Out-String, but note that you'll end up with multi-line output:
Write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow "$($User | Out-String) - Name not found. Please do a manual check"
[1] You can verify this as follows: $user = [pscustomobject] #{ Name = 'Firstname1 LastName1' }; "$user". The output is string #{Name=Firstname1 LastName1}.
