I am trying to append a CSV file. Here are the lines I am using. I wasn't able to find an append option for export-csv unfortunately. Any ideas would be helpful to get this to work.
Get-ADGroupMember "Domain Admins" | select name, samaccountname | Export-Csv c:\bin\DomainAdmins.csv
$admins = Import-Csv C:\bin\DomainAdmins.csv
foreach ($i in $admins) {Get-ADUser $i.samaccountname -properties * | select name, lastlogondate | Export-Csv c:\bin\dalogon.csv}
The documentation suggests that there is an -append flag. The example given ends with
| export-csv –append –path \\Archive01\Scripts\Scripts.csv
Have you tried that? It works fine for me. I'm on version 3, if that matters.
-Append was introduced with PowerShell v3, it's not available in PowerShell v2 and earlier. You can work around it like this, though:
... |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation |
Select-Object -Skip 1 |
Out-File -Append "c:\bin\dalogon.csv"
I ran into this issue also a few days ago. There are a really two solutions I know in Powershell 2. The first would be to save all the data in an array and then use the export-csv commandlet. That did not work for me unless I rewrote my script. I needed to create a CSV and append line by line to build the file. So, I solved it with out-file -append and changing the encoding to ascii.
I basically created a string with my data in it and then piped it to out-file. Here is an example:
$myCSV = "C:\_PSScripts\data\myCSV.csv"
$firstOutputLine = "Column-1,Column-3,Column-3"
$firstOutputLine | out-file $myCSV -Encoding ascii -Force -Append
It's good! but it's only 1 column in CSV file! how to put to many columns as the code below:
Import-Module -Name 'C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Management Shell for AD\Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPowerShellSnapIn.dll'
$group="HO-Internet","Internet1","Internet2","Internet3"
$group |ForEach-Object {Echo "--------------------Group Name $_ ----------------"; Get-QADGroupMember $_ | Select-Object Email,LogonName,ParentContainer,LastLogon,AccountIsDisabled |ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation `
| select -Skip 1 `
| Out-File -Append "D:\test.csv"}

I'm trying to Export-Csv with the following PS code but when I open the generated .csv file, all I get is: "". This has obviously something to do with the encoding and BOM I reccon, but whatever I try it wont work.
$Date = (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
$searchroot = "Example OU"
#GetADUsers
Get-QADUser -SearchRoot $searchroot -Enabled -SizeLimit 0 | Select
UserPrincipalName,whenCreated | Where-Object {$_.CreatedDateTime -ge $Date} |
Export-Csv -Path 'ExamplePath.csv' -Delimiter ";" -Encoding UTF8
I tried adding -NoTypeInformation, removed -Delimiter, changed -Encoding. Nothing seems to be correct. If I remove Where-Object {$_.CreatedDateTime -ge $Date} it works just fine.
I might just be missing something very obvious here.
Thanks!

So I'm trying to export a list of resources without the headers. Basically I need to omit line 1, "Name".
Here is my current code:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox | Select-Object Name | Export-Csv -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.csv" -NoTypeInformation
I've looked at several examples and things to try, but haven't quite gotten anything to work that still only lists the resource names.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you basically want just text a file list of the names:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name |
Set-Content -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.txt"
Edit: if you really want an export-csv without a header row:
(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox |
Select-Object Name |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation) |
Select-Object -Skip 1 |
Set-Content -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.csv"
Powershell 7 is out now. Still no way to export-csv without headers. I get it. Technically it wouldn't be a CSV without a header row.
But I need to remove the header row, so
$obj | convertto-csv | select-object -skip 1 |out-file 'output.csv'
P.S. I didn't need the quotes and I wanted to filter out rows based on a certain property value:
$obj | where-object {$_.<whatever property> -eq 'X' } | convertto-csv -usequotes never | select-object -skip 1 |out-file 'output.csv'
Is there a way to include text qualifiers i.e. "Column 1"|"Column 2" when using PowerShell to export to a csv file?
In the script below I remove the text qualifiers that were already transferred in the file because the first column didn't have any for some odd reason.
Get-MsolUser -all |
Where-Object {($_.IsLicensed -eq "True") -and ($_.Title -notlike "Volunteer") } |
Select-Object Firstname, LastName, Department, Title |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "|"|
% { $_ -replace '","', "|"} | % { $_ -replace '"', ""} | out-file "$path\$file_name" -fo -en ascii
I think the output may be as you expect but you may be viewing the output file in Excel rather than with a text editor (I used Notepad++). When I tried to reproduce this I used the following code and viewed the output file in a text editor and each column and row of the output has text qualifiers as expected. However, when viewing the same file in Excel the first column is displayed by Excel as if it does not have text qualifiers. Here's the code I ran to test:
"[a known UPN from my tenant]","[a known UPN from my tenant]"|
foreach-object {Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $_} |
Where-Object {($_.IsLicensed -eq "True") -and ($_.Title -notlike "Volunteer")} |
Select-Object Firstname, LastName, Department, Title |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "|" |
out-file $path\$file_name" -fo -en ascii
The issue with text qualifiers missing in the first column first occurred 'before' I specified the -delimiter parameter, my code above is a bit of a fix and mashup of two methods of fixing that issue, and a bit redundant.
I'm able to generate the intended results with the script below:
$MyData = import-csv \\TestPath\licenses_v2.csv -delimiter '|' |
select-object FirstName,LastName,Department,Title,#{expression={'Office 365 AD'}};
Write-DbaDataTable -sqlinstance $server -database $database -table $table -inputobject $MyData -KeepNulls;
I am really new to PowerShell and still learning so I am having a requirement to run some of the commands from dbatools and save the results.
$servers = 'E:\DBA\servers.txt'
$outfile = 'E:\DBA\out.csv'
Get-Content $servers | ForEach-Object {Invoke-Command DbaBackupHistory -SQLServer $_ | ConvertTo-CSV -NoTypeInformation | Select-Object -Skip 1 | Out-File -Append $outFile}
I am unsure if this is the correct way to doit
https://dbatools.io/functions/get-dbabackuphistory/
I modified you script and tested. Worked for me. I added 2 more switches to limit result set. -database and -lastfull. You can check documentation for details.
$outfile = 'c:\out.csv'
Get-Content c:\servers.txt|foreach-object {get-DbaBackupHistory -SqlServer $_
-database dbadatabase -lastfull | ConvertTo-CSV -NoTypeInformation |
Select-Object -Skip 1 | Out-File -Append $outFile}
