Script needs converting to export to CSV - powershell

Question

I put together the below, which does the job. However, the output isn't very workable. So I wanted to output this all to a CSV using Export-Csv. Im aware I can do this by moving to a ForEach-Object query, but im not entirely sure how to achieve that.
I have added an attempt to convert it in hopes of a little help. I'm not sure how to specify the variable for each object. For example the first section calls all domains in the forest. How do i use each response in the next piped query? and so on.
$domains = (Get-ADForest).Domains
$controllers = #()
$worked = $false
foreach ($domain in $domains) {
$controller = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -ForceDiscover -DomainName $domain |
Select-Object HostName
$controllers += $controller
}
while (-not $worked) {
try {
foreach ($item in $controllers) {
$value = $item.HostName.Value
Write-Host $value
Write-Host 'Domain Admins'
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Domain Admins' -Server $value |
Get-ADUser -Properties name, samaccountname, Description, EmailAddress |
Where {$_.Enabled -eq $true} |
Format-Table Name, SamAccountName, Description, EmailAddress -AutoSize
}
$worked = $true
} catch {}
}
Conversion Attempt
ForEach-Object{
(Get-ADForest).domains | Get-ADDomainController -Discover -ForceDiscover -DomainName $domain |Select-Object HostName | Get-ADGroupMember -identity 'Domain Admins' -Server $value | Get-ADUser -Properties samaccountname, Description, EmailAddress | Where {$_.Enabled -eq $true}
}| Export-Csv -Path "$HOME/Desktop/DomainAdmins.csv" samaccountname, Description, EmailAddress -AutoSize

Answer 1

If you can get the values from your Get-ADUser call and put them in an object, you can then pipe to convertto-csv.
Here's an example:
$arr = #([pscustomobject]#{name="name"; sam="samaccountname"}, [pscustomobject]#{name="name2"; sam="samaccountname2"});
$arr | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation
"name","sam"
"name","samaccountname"
"name2","samaccountname2"
You could get rid of the Format-Table call. The code I've shown in the example pipes and array of objects into the convertto-csv cmdlet. So if Get-ADUser returns objects, you should be able to pipe right into ConvertTo-CSV or Export-Csv -append
The objects are hashtables that are cast to pscustomobjects, it's a nice quick way to illustrate the technique.
The result, as shown, will be csv headers that match your hashtable keys, and the hastable values will be the CSV values.

This is working fine in my local environment and storing the result in D:\Test_File.csv
$domains = (Get-ADForest).Domains
$controllers = #()
$worked = $false
foreach ($domain in $domains) {
$controller = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -ForceDiscover -DomainName $domain | Select-Object HostName
$controllers += $controller
}
while (-not $worked) {
try
{
foreach ($item in $controllers)
{
$value = $item.HostName.Value
Write-Host $value
Write-Host 'Domain Admins'
Get-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Domain Admins' -Server $value |
Get-ADUser -Properties name, samaccountname, Description, EmailAddress |?{$_.Enabled -eq $true}|Export-Csv -Append "D:\Test_File.csv"
}
#$worked = $true
}
catch
{
$Error_Message=$_.Exception.Message
}
}
