I have the following code,
Get-AdGroup -filter * | select Name, sAMAccountName | Foreach-Object{
New-Object PSObject -Property #{
oldAccount = $_.Name
newAccount = "c:0-.t|adfs-2|" + $_.sAMAccountName
}
} | Export-CSV "ADGroups.csv" -NoTypeInformation
This works as designed and everything comes out as it should but they do not comeout in the order I need. I believe they come out in alphabetical order so the newAccount is always first. How can I make newAccount the second column?
You could add a Select-Object prior to the export, that will define the order.
Get-AdGroup -filter * | select Name, sAMAccountName | Foreach-Object{
New-Object PSObject -Property #{
oldAccount = $_.Name
newAccount = "c:0-.t|adfs-2|" + $_.sAMAccountName
}
} | select oldAccount, newAccount | Export-CSV "ADGroups.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Well, you could write your own CSV
"`"oldAccount`",`"newAccount`"" | Out-File "ADGroups.csv"
Get-AdGroup -filter * | select Name, sAMAccountName | Foreach-Object{
"`"$_.Name`",c:0-.t|adfs-2|$_.sAMAccountName" | Out-File "ADGroups.csv" -append
}

I have to check the lastlogon for different users.
My script queries my domain controllers to output my report, however I have an issue.
My report does not come out in descending order. I added sort-object lastlogon -descending, but the dates don't come out correctly in my file. Can you help me?
$data = #()
$DCs = Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | Select-Object -ExpandProperty name
$users =
#'
samaccountname;
user1
user2
'# | ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter ';'
foreach ($DC in $DCs) {
foreach($user in $users)
{$data += Get-ADUser $User.samaccountname.Trim() -Properties displayname, userprincipalname, samaccountname, lastlogon -server $DC | Select-Object DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, SamAccountName, Enabled, #{name='LastLogon';expression={[datetime]::fromFileTime($_.lastLogon).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')}} }
}
$data | Group-Object Lastlogon | Foreach-Object {$_.Group | Sort-Object lastLogon -Descending | Select-Object -Last 10 | Export-Excel "C:\temp\lastlogon ($(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd")).xlsx"}
write-host Done! -ForegroundColor Green
It's unclear what you want to accomplish with your script but basically, if you .ToString(..) a DateTime object then Sort-Object will not know how to sort it correctly. Here is how you can approach your code:
$DCs = (Get-ADDomainController -Filter *).Name
$users = #'
samaccountname;
user1
user2
'# | ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter ';'
& {
foreach ($DC in $DCs) {
foreach($user in $users) {
$params = #{
Properties = 'displayname', 'lastlogon'
Server = $DC
Identity = $User.samaccountname.Trim()
}
Get-ADUser #params | Select-Object #(
'DisplayName'
'UserPrincipalName'
'SamAccountName'
'Enabled'
#{
Name = 'LastLogon'
Expression = {
[datetime]::fromFileTime($_.LastLogon)
}
}
)
}
}
} | Group-Object { $_.Lastlogon.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd') } | Foreach-Object {
$_.Group | Sort-Object LastLogon -Descending | Select-Object -Last 10 |
Export-Excel "C:\temp\lastlogon ($(Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd")).xlsx"
}
You also want to avoid adding elements (+=) to a fixed collection (#()).
I'm trying to export the username and the user's group membership (of specifc groups) to a CSV file using Export-Csv. However, I couldn't accomplish this using several approaches.
My current script works fine but the output is shown on the PowerShell console alone:
$accounts = Get-Content "C:\Scripts\getUserGroups\users.txt"
foreach ($account in $accounts) {
"$account member of:"
Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $account |
select Name |
Where-Object { $_.name -like 'Browsing_Group*' } |
Sort Name
}
I want to export it to a file in an ordered manner:
UserName1
group membership
UserName2
group membership
etc...
I've tried to add to a variable but probably didn't do that correctly:
$ArrList = [System.Collections.ArrayList]#()
$accounts = Get-Content "C:\Scripts\getUserGroups\users.txt"
foreach ($account in $accounts) {
$ArrList.Add($account)
$groups = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $account |
select Name |
Where-Object {$_.name -like 'Browsing_group*' } |
Sort Name
$ArrList.Add($grops)
}
Might be a different approach.
You need to build custom objects in order to export the data to a CSV via Export-Csv. The 2 main ways of doing that are:
using calculated properties:
$accounts |
Select-Object #{n='Username';e={$_}}, #{n='Groups';e={
(Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $_ |
Select-Object -Expand Name |
Where-Object {$_ -like 'Browsing_group*' } |
Sort-Object) -join ';'
}} |
Export-Csv 'C:\path\to\output.csv' -NoType
building custom objects directly:
$accounts | ForEach-Object {
$groups = Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership -Identity $_ |
Select-Object -Expand Name |
Where-Object {$_ -like 'Browsing_group*' } |
Sort-Object
New-Object -Type PSObject -Property #{
'Username' = $_
'Groups' = $groups -join ';'
}
} | Export-Csv 'C:\path\to\output.csv' -NoType
With PowerShell version 3 or newer you can replace New-Object with the [PSCustomObject] type accelerator:
[PSCustomObject]#{
'Username' = $_
'Groups' = $groups -join ';'
}
I have used a pretty good script but have one major issue for my excel or CSV output. The output will not display the Domain Users listing as seen when looking in AD.
All objects or Name is in place for everything else but refuses to list the Domain Users group.
$alist = "Name`tAccountName`tDescription`tEmailAddress`tLastLogonDate`tManager`tTitle`tDepartment`tCompany`twhenCreated`tAcctEnabled`tGroups`n"
$userlist = Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,Company,whenCreated,Enabled,MemberOf | Sort-Object -Property Name
$userlist | ForEach-Object {
$grps = $_.MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | ForEach-Object {$_.Name} | Sort-Object
$arec = $_.Name,$_.SamAccountName,$_.Description,$_.EmailAddress,$_LastLogonDate,$_.Manager,$_.Title,$_.Department,$_.Company,$_.whenCreated,$_.Enabled
$aline = ($arec -join "`t") + "`t" + ($grps -join "`t") + "`n"
$alist += $aline
}
$alist | Out-File C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\InclusiveADUsers.csv
I want to read users from different Active Directory groups and then sort and group the results.
From a list like
UserName UserGroup
UZZ GAA
UKK GAA
UZZ GBB
ULL GBB
I want to get that:
Username UserGroup
UKK GAA
ULL GBB
UZZ GAA
So, from User UZZ I want to get only one entry in the list with the first value of UserGroup (first in the alphanumeric sort).
Till now I have the following code:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Groups = (Get-AdGroup -filter * | Where {$_.name -like "G-Q-T*"} | select name -expandproperty name)
$Table = #()
$Record = #{"GroupName" = """Username" = ""}
Foreach ($Group in $Groups) {
$Arrayofmembers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $Group | select name, samaccountname
foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers) {
$Record."GroupName" = $Group
$Record."UserName" = $Member.samaccountname
$objRecord = New-Object PSObject -property $Record
$Table += $objRecord
}
}
$Table | Sort-object -property Username | Group-object -property Username | export-csv "U:\members.csv" -NoTypeInformation**
The part making the list works fine. But not the sort and group part.
Thank you a lot for an answer and help.
Meanwhile I found out, that I have also to add the SID into the .csv File.
The SID is also in the Get-AdGroupMember. But then I try to implement is as the following, the output in case of SID stays empty. What did I wrong where? Thank you in advance for an answer:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Groups = (Get-AdGroup -filter "name -like 'G-Q-T*'" | select name -expandproperty name)
$Table = #()
$Record = #{
"GroupName" = ""
"Username" = ""
"SID" = ""
}
Foreach ($Group in $Groups)
{
$Arrayofmembers = Get-ADGroupMember -identity $Group | select name,samaccountname,SID
foreach ($Member in $Arrayofmembers)
{
$Record."GroupName" = $Group
$Record."UserName" = $Member.samaccountname
$Record."SID" = $Member.SID
$objRecord = New-Object PSObject -property $Record
$Table += $objRecord
}
}
$Table | Group-Object -Property Username |
Select-Object #{n="UserName";e={$_.Name}} , #{n="GroupName";e={$_.Group | Sort-Object GroupName | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty GroupName}} , #{n="SID";e={$_.SID | Sort-Object SID | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty SID}}| Export-Csv "U:\member.csv" -NoTypeInformation
I would group on username and use calculated properties to create the desired result. Sort the groupnames in the group and pick out the first value. Try to replace your last line with:
$Table | Group-Object -Property Username |
Select-Object #{n="UserName";e={$_.Name}}, #{n="GroupName";e={$_.Group | Sort-Object GroupName | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty GroupName}} |
Export-Csv "U:\members.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Avoid -Filter * as it retrieves every group. Use it to get only the groups you need
$Groups = Get-ADGroup -Filter "name -like 'G-Q-T*'"
Alternative using the famous pipeline:
Get-ADGroup -Filter "name -like 'G-Q-T*'" | ForEach-Object {
$groupname = $_.Name
$_ | Get-ADGroupMember | ForEach-Object {
New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property #{
UserName = $_.SamAccountName
SID = $_.SID
GroupName = $groupname
}
}
} | Group-Object -Property UserName |
Select-Object #{n="UserName";e={$_.Name}}, #{n="SID";e={$_.Group[0].SID}}, #{n="GroupName";e={$_.Group | Sort-Object GroupName | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty GroupName}} |
Export-Csv "U:\members.csv" -NoTypeInformation
I have a list of users and I want to export their group names, sorted A-Z. The following script is not working in the inner ForEach-Object loop.
Get-Content users.txt | ForEach-Object {
$user = $_;
Get-ADUser –Identity $user –Properties MemberOf | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf | sort
ForEach-Object {
New-Object PSObject -property #{User=$user;Group=$_;}
}
} | Export-Csv -Path 'your_file_path.csv' -NoTypeInformation
The ForEach-Object is just sitting out there alone--you have to either pipe an object to it, or assign the object to a variable and use foreach to loop through the object instead. I took the second approach below as excessive piping makes scripts difficult to read (for me).
Get-Content c:\temp\users.txt | ForEach-Object {
$user = $_;
$AdUser = Get-ADUser –Identity $user –Properties MemberOf | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf | get-adgroup | select -ExpandProperty Name | sort
foreach($group in $AdUser) {
New-Object PSObject -property #{User=$user;Group=$group;} | Export-Csv -Path 'c:\temp\out.csv' -NoTypeInformation -Append
}
}
...and if you want to pipe it and use ForEach-Object, you just need to put a pipe after the sort and move the Export-Csvso that it exports the new object that was created:
Get-Content c:\temp\users.txt | ForEach-Object {
$user = $_;
Get-ADUser –Identity $user –Properties MemberOf | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf | get-adgroup | select -ExpandProperty Name | sort |
ForEach-Object {
New-Object PSObject -property #{User=$user;Group=$_;} | Export-Csv -Path 'c:\temp\out.csv' -NoTypeInformation -Append
}
}
