I am trying to write a Powershell script that will allow me to query the samaccountname and other fields from a list of e-mail addresses. (reverse lookup)
My email.csv file has a users header, followed by the list of e-mail addresses.
What am I doing wrong?
$users = Get-Content .\email.csv
$users | ForEach-Object {
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(emailaddress=$users)" -Properties samaccountname | Select-Object -Property samaccountname
} | Export-Csv -Path .\emailexport.csv
you will need to change $_.emailaddress depending on your column title in your csv file. also, samaccountname is returned by default for get-aduser, so you can leave that part off.
$users = Get-Content .\email.csv
$users | ForEach-Object {
$email = $_.emailaddress
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(emailaddress=$email)" -Properties emailaddress |
Select-Object -Property samaccountname, emailaddress
} | Export-Csv -Path .\emailexport.csv

My goal is to list extended properties of a list of users by Display Name or SamAccountName pulling those names from a Csv. I am using the following script and it works but it either skips names in the Csv or repeats them. If I do one at a time it returns what I need but from the Csv it doesn’t. Csv has one column named Name.
Import-Csv C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\test.txt | Foreach {
Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -eq '$($_.Name)'" -Properties *
} | Select-Object DisplayName, SamAccountName, Title, Department, EmailAddress, ObjectGUID | Sort-Object Displayname | FT
There is nothing wrong with your current code, except for using Import-Csv on a .txt file (test.txt), I would assume this was a typo. I've added an if condition to help you troubleshoot so at least you would know which users where not found.
You should also avoid the use of -Properties *, querying all properties for the users is inefficient and slow.
$properties = #(
'DisplayName'
'SamAccountName'
'Title'
'Department'
'EmailAddress'
'ObjectGUID'
)
Import-Csv C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\test.csv | ForEach-Object {
$adUser = Get-ADUser -Filter "DisplayName -eq '$($_.Name)'" -Properties $properties
if(-not $adUser) {
Write-Warning "'$($_.Name)' could not be found on AD"
return # Go next
}
$adUser
} | Select-Object $properties | Sort-Object Displayname | Format-Table
I have a list of users in a CSV, but I need to collect the SamAccount attribute from each user by name in the ad.
CSV model
Script
Get-ADObject -Filter 'ObjectClass -eq "user" -and userAccountControl -eq "512"' -Properties * | Select-Object SamAccountName,CN,DisplayName, | Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\UserAccounts.csv -Encoding UTF8 -NoTypeInformation
I'm a little lost I don't know how to do a foreach using name
I am trying but without success.
Trying to get samaccountname based on Name on csv file.
Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\userteste.csv | foreach-Object {Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -like $_.name} -Properties Name | Select-Object samAccountName}
and export to csv file.
Why use Get-ADObject and not Get-ADUser for this? The latter gives you more of the desired properties you need in the CSV.
As aside, it is wasteful to do -Properties * if all you want is a small set of user attributes.
Something like this should work:
Get-ADUser -Filter "Enabled -eq $true" -Properties DisplayName, CN |
Select-Object SamAccountName, CN, DisplayName |
Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\UserAccounts.csv -Encoding UTF8 -NoTypeInformation
As per your comment you need to get some extra attributes of the users listed in the CSV, you can do this:
Import-Csv -Path C:\Temp\userteste.csv | ForEach-Object {
Get-ADUser -Filter "Name -like '$($_.Name)'" -Properties DisplayName, CN |
Select-Object SamAccountName, CN, DisplayName
} | Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\UserAccounts.csv -Encoding UTF8 -NoTypeInformation
Hope that helps
There is a list of users in CSV:
Name
surname name
I want to get to their posts. I use this script:
$userList = Import-Csv "C:\Scripts\names.csv"
foreach ($User in $userList) {
Get-ADUser -Identity $user.Name -Properties DisplayName, title |
select DisplayName, title |
Export-Csv -Append "C:\Scripts\title.csv" -NoTypeInformation
}
But the script does not find users.
If you are trying to get the users by their Name or DisplayName you will have to go with Filter instead of Identity. The following should work, assuming your actual AD-users Names are in the format of the csv.
$userList = import-csv "C:\Scripts\names.csv"
ForEach($User in $userList){
Get-ADUser -Filter "Name -eq '$($user.Name)'" -Properties DisplayName,title |
select DisplayName,title | Export-CSV -Append "C:\Scripts\title.csv" -NoTypeInformation}
I'm trying to get the SAMAccountNames of one domain and compare them with their equals from another domain.
To get all users of dc1 I use:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $SearchBase | Select-Object SamAccountName |
Export-Csv -path $exports -encoding "unicode" -notype
and then I import the csv again and try to compare them for any differences
$readthat = Import-CSV $exports -Header SamAccountName | ForEach-Object {
$user1 = Get-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Properties $attributes
$user2 = Get-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Properties $attributes -Server $dc2
$modified = #{}
$attributes | Where-Object { $user1.$_ -ne $user2.$_ } | ForEach-Object {
$modified[$_] = $user2.$_
}
}
All that works great, except that it's also trying to find the SamAccountName which of course genereates an error because the SamAccountName = SamAccountName doesn't exit.
Any hints on how to avoid this or do you guys have a more elegant solution?
the .csv looks like this:
"SamAccountName"
"foo"
"bar"
Don't use the -Header SamAccountName option on your import-csv should help immensely. The -Header option is for when the CSV file you are importing doesn't have a header. The Export-CSV cmdlet puts the header in there for you, so you don't have to.
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"
