I have been trying to export a list that oulines the attribute 'businesscategory'.
Here is the command:
ipmo activedirectory
get-aduser -Filter * -Properties * | select userprincipalname, businesscategory |export-csv -Path C:\Temp\businesscategory.csv -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation
The thing is that I get this output under the row 'businesscategory' in my .csv :
"Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADPropertyValueCollection"
The output is good in the Powershell console though.
I have looked for answers around the Internet but unsuccessfully so far...
Thank you guys.
It's a multivalued property so you have to create a new property and concatenate the values or select one of them
get-aduser -filter * -Properties * | select userprincipalname, #{n="businesscategory";e={$_.businesscategory -join " "}}
then it will be exported as a string in your csv.

I am trying to translate the following to an AD filter and I am at my wits end as I completely do not know powershell, any help will be appreciated
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Users and Groups,OU=11111,OU=STATE,DC=net,DC=ads,DC=state,DC=tn,DC=us" -Properties memberof |
Select samaccountname, #{n='memberOf';e={$_.memberOf -join '; '}} |
Export-Csv c:\test.csv
I am exporting all AD user accounts, formatting into a CSV file sorted in the way management wants it. They want it sorted by the Department field and remove all accounts without a Department code listed.
I have cobbled together a script to get a formatted CSV file:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -filter * -properties Name, Title, Department, SamAccountName |
Select-Object GivenName, Surname, Title, Department |
Export-CSV -Path "\\Server\Share\file.csv" -NoTypeInformation
'Filter only users with DEPARTMENT populated'
$BlankColumns = "Department"
Import-CSV \\JXWFILEPRD01\Les$\file.csv |
Where-Object {
$line = $_
($BlankColumns | ForEach-Object{
![string]::IsNullOrEmpty(($line.$_.Trim('"')))
}) -notcontains $false
} | Export-CSV -Path "\\Server\Share\out.csv"
However, when I import the CSV and remove the rows we don't want, it spills the output to the console. I have not figured out how to use Export-CSV in a way that works. It either errors out or continues to dump to console and then error out.
You can do without importing/exporting multiple times and filter at the start:
Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -Filter 'Department -like "*"' -Properties Name,Title,Department,SamAccountName |
Select-Object -Property GivenName,Surname,Title,Department |
Sort-Object -Property Department |
Export-CSV -Path '\\Server\Share\file.csv' -NoTypeInformation
try this:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties Name,Title,Department,SamAccountName | where {![string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace( $_.Department)} |
Select GivenName, Surname, Title, Department |
Export-CSV "\\Server\Share\file.csv" -NoType
I am looking to pull LastLogonDate, SerialNumber, Name and Description from AD. I have everything working except when I open the csv instead of the serialnumber is gives me: Microsoft.AdctiveDirectory.Management.ADPropertyValueCollection. From what I've looked up it is because it is a multivalued attribute. The code I currently have that I thought would fix this problem is:
Get-ADDomainController -filter * |
% { Get-ADComputer -Filter * -server $_.name -Properties Name,Description,serialNumber,LastLogonDate -SearchBase "DC=DELETED,DC=com" } |
Select Name,Description,#{N='serialNumber'E={$_.serialNumber[0]}},LastLogonDate |
Export-Csv "C:\scripts\ComputerLastLogon.csv" -NoTypeInformation
However, now I am getting these errors: http://i.imgur.com/0BdC153.png
And if it helps at all, here is the code I was using when I first got the csv to show Microsoft.ActiveDirectory... :
Get-ADDomainController -filter * |
% { Get-ADComputer -Filter * -server $_.name -Properties Name,Description,serialNumber,LastLogonDate -SearchBase "DC=DELETED,DC=com" } |
Select Name,Description,SerialNumber,LastLogonDate |
Export-Csv "C:\scripts\ComputerLastLogon.csv" -NoTypeInformation
The answer might make you feel a bit silly but don't feel bad, you are missing a ; in your expression it should be
#{N='serialNumber';E={$_.serialNumber[0]}}
Try that and tell me if it works, it did for me.
I'm writing a simple PowerShell script that fetches certain fields from Active Directory using the "Get-ADUser" cmdlet and outputs them to a CSV file, which works just fine:
Get-ADUser -filter * -properties Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,SamAccountName -server myADserver.domain.com:3268 | select Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,SamAccountName | Export-Csv -notype C:\Security-ActiveDirectory.csv
I'm looking to convert the "SamAccouontName" field to all uppercase when it is output to the CSV file. I tried applying the ToUpper() and Upper(string) methods, but they give me syntax errors:
Get-ADUser -filter * -properties Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,SamAccountName -server myADserver.domain.com:3268 | select Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,ToUpper().SamAccountName | Export-Csv -notype C:\Security-ActiveDirectory.csv
Get-ADUser -filter * -properties Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,SamAccountName -server myADserver.domain.com:3268 | select Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,Upper(SamAccountName) | Export-Csv -notype C:\Security-ActiveDirectory.csv
Can anyone help me on how I can make that field uppercase and still export to the CSV file?
Thanks!
Brian
You can do it like this:
Get-ADUser -filter * -properties Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,SamAccountName -server myADserver.domain.com:3268 |
select Division,Department,EmployeeID,GivenName,Sn,C,Title,Mail,ExtensionAttribute3,ExtensionAttribute4,#{Label = 'SamAccountName' ; Expression = {$_.SamAccountName.ToUpper()}} |
Export-Csv -notype C:\Security-ActiveDirectory.csv
I'm using the following code to get a list of direct reports in Powershell:
import-module activedirectory
$identity = read-host "Enter username:"
Get-ADUser $identity -Properties directReports | select-object {$_.directReports} | export-csv "DirectReports-$identity.csv"
This outputs all of the direct reports to one row, such as "CN=User1,CN=User2,CN=User3".....
How can I modify this so it outputs each user to its own row?
I'm sure this isn't the cleanest solution:
Get-ADUser $identity -Properties directReports | select-object -expandproperty directReports|foreach-object{$_.split(",")[0].replace("CN=","")}| export-csv "DirectReports-$identity.csv"
You'll get each person's name (only) on its own line in the CSV file.
Get-ADUser $identity -Properties directReports |
Select-Object Name,#{n='DirectReports';e={$_.directReports.Split(',CN=',[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries) -join ';'}} |
Export-Csv "DirectReports-$identity.csv"
