I'm attempting to export all AD users within an OU to a csv file. However, I do not know how to fill in the first two given variables in a sample script I had pulled from a website.
Given that my LDAP connection string is LDAP://OU=Admin Accounts, OU=Test Accounts,dc=sample,dc=domain,dc=com, how would I fill out the variables for $path, and $pathexist?
Below is the sample script:
PROCESS #This is where the script executes
{
$path = Split-Path -parent "$CSVReportPath\*.*"
$pathexist = Test-Path -Path $path
If ($pathexist -eq $false)
{New-Item -type directory -Path $path}
$reportdate = Get-Date -Format ssddmmyyyy
$csvreportfile = $path + "\ALLADUsers_$reportdate.csv"
#import the ActiveDirectory Module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#Perform AD search. The quotes "" used in $SearchLoc is essential
#Without it, Export-ADUsers returuned error
Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -searchbase "$SearchLoc" -Properties * -Filter * |
Select-Object @{Label = "First Name";Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{Label = "Last Name";Expression = {$_.Surname}},
@{Label = "Display Name";Expression = {$_.DisplayName}},
@{Label = "Logon Name";Expression = {$_.sAMAccountName}},
@{Label = "Full address";Expression = {$_.StreetAddress}},
@{Label = "City";Expression = {$_.City}},
@{Label = "State";Expression = {$_.st}},
@{Label = "Post Code";Expression = {$_.PostalCode}},
@{Label = "Country/Region";Expression = {if (($_.Country -eq 'GB') ) {'United Kingdom'} Else {''}}},
@{Label = "Job Title";Expression = {$_.Title}},
@{Label = "Company";Expression = {$_.Company}},
@{Label = "Description";Expression = {$_.Description}},
@{Label = "Department";Expression = {$_.Department}},
@{Label = "Office";Expression = {$_.OfficeName}},
@{Label = "Phone";Expression = {$_.telephoneNumber}},
@{Label = "Email";Expression = {$_.Mail}},
@{Label = "Manager";Expression = {%{(Get-AdUser $_.Manager -server $ADServer -Properties DisplayName).DisplayName}}},
@{Label = "Account Status";Expression = {if (($_.Enabled -eq 'TRUE') ) {'Enabled'} Else {'Disabled'}}}, # the 'if statement# replaces $_.Enabled
@{Label = "Last LogOn Date";Expression = {$_.lastlogondate}} |
#Export CSV report
Export-Csv -Path $csvreportfile -NoTypeInformation
}
That sample seems a little extreme. This should work:
$csvreportfile = "C:\Temp\Output.csv"
$ADServer = "DC1.domain.com"
Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -searchbase "OU=Admin Accounts, OU=Test Accounts,dc=sample,dc=domain,dc=com" -Properties * -Filter * |
Select-Object @{Label = "First Name";Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{Label = "Last Name";Expression = {$_.Surname}},
@{Label = "Display Name";Expression = {$_.DisplayName}},
@{Label = "Logon Name";Expression = {$_.sAMAccountName}},
@{Label = "Full address";Expression = {$_.StreetAddress}},
@{Label = "City";Expression = {$_.City}},
@{Label = "State";Expression = {$_.st}},
@{Label = "Post Code";Expression = {$_.PostalCode}},
@{Label = "Country/Region";Expression = {if (($_.Country -eq 'GB') ) {'United Kingdom'} Else {''}}},
@{Label = "Job Title";Expression = {$_.Title}},
@{Label = "Company";Expression = {$_.Company}},
@{Label = "Description";Expression = {$_.Description}},
@{Label = "Department";Expression = {$_.Department}},
@{Label = "Office";Expression = {$_.OfficeName}},
@{Label = "Phone";Expression = {$_.telephoneNumber}},
@{Label = "Email";Expression = {$_.Mail}},
@{Label = "Manager";Expression = {%{(Get-AdUser $_.Manager -server $ADServer -Properties DisplayName).DisplayName}}},
@{Label = "Account Status";Expression = {if (($_.Enabled -eq 'TRUE') ) {'Enabled'} Else {'Disabled'}}}, # the 'if statement# replaces $_.Enabled
@{Label = "Last LogOn Date";Expression = {$_.lastlogondate}} |
#Export CSV report
Export-Csv -Path $csvreportfile -NoTypeInformation
To explain the $Path and $Pathexist variables, it is just checking to see if the path for the CSV export exists. If it doesn't exist, it creates it. You would need to declare $CSVReportPath as a variable as in:
$CSVReportPath = "C:\Temp"
