PowerShell Forum 2 years agoHow to export the output of the Get-ADUser cmdlet to an Excel file? Excel-CSV is not showing the output as expected. It’s showing ASCII characters. On the other hand, if I use Out-File C:ADUsers.txt to generate a txt file it works fine. But I need to generate a CSV or an Excel file. How can I do this?
I am using Export-Csv -Path c:tempUserData.csv.

PowerShell Forum 2 years agoHi David,
Since the code did not work, I have modified the way this could be done, my new code is given below,
however I cannot seem to see the output within the foreach statement, is there anything wrong I am doing hereImport-Module ActiveDirectory

$expiredDate = (Get-Date).addDays(-$MaxPwdAge)#Set the number of days until you would like to begin notifing the users. — Do Not Modify —
$emailDate = (Get-Date).addDays(-($MaxPwdAge – $DaysWithinExpiration))#Filters for all users who’s password is within $date of expiration.

If I use this command I am seeing the passwd last set values under AccountExprationDate , what is the difference between this and the previous command. Also is there a way I can substitute the nulls in AccountExprationDate with a sysdate ?

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoHi David,
I was able to fix the issue I had described in my reply and the code is now working, I am able to output username , PwdLastSet values to the output file, I will look into the email stub part later.
I have a problem though, looks like the PwdLastSet column is always null as they have not stored this information, as I mentioned earlier, I was using PwdLastSet and adding a year to it to get the password expiry date information as our AD was not letting us retrieve this information , so is there any other way for me to get the password expiry information ?
Thanks

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoThanks David, for taking time to look into this piece of code for me.
Please ignore the $File pieces in the code , I was just playing with the syntax to familiarise myself.
With regards to PassWdEXp being one year + PasswordLastSet , we are using this as our AD prevents us from querying for Password expired info. and as a rule all our passwords are set to expire one year from the time they were last set. So to get PasswdExp we are adding one year to PasswordLastSet
I have tried to run your modified code but I am getting the error at line 13 of the code as shown below, Attached is the code as an attachment, please note I have commented the email stub portion of the code for now as I am only focussing on generating an output file for now.

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoHello David,
Thanks for your suggestions, I have tried to use this code as shown below to output the message to a file based on the number of days to expiry of the password, but somehow I think I am still missing something, I dont see any output getting generated. Where could I be going wrong ? Thanks for your help.

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoI have tried using Set-Content -Path C:test.txt -Value ‘foo’ to write the output to a file basically I need the UserId, PasswordExp written to the test file. This did not work, Is there a different command to be used to write to a file ?
Please let me know.
Thanks

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoHello,
I am trying to modify the following PowerShell code to write to a file within the foreach loop’s if statement. So instead of Send-MailMessage -To $user.EmailAddress -From $MailSender -SmtpServer $SMTPServer -Subject $Subject `
-Body $EmailBodyI would like to write to a file, later this file will be emailed to the Domain Admins.
Please let me know how I can output the Send Mail message line of code into a file .

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoHi Leos,
We are having some trouble connecting to our mail server, so we would like to first develop this pseudo code and later integrate it with email server
Get Service_Account_List Order by PasswordExpireDate Decending Loop Service_Account in Service_Account List Is Expire_Date < 1 ? Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Expired"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 7?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 7 Days"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 15?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 15 Days"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 30?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 30 Days" End Is Store Message in file End Loop
What is the best way to do this basically put all Accounts with the criteria given in a file and then loop through that file ?

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoThanks everyone for your suggestions. Looks like the requirements are changed for what we are trying to do here. I value your suggestions and your time to reply back.
Let me post what we are trying to do again
I am using the following script to get a list of all AD users
Get-ADUser -filter {Enabled -eq $True -and PasswordNeverExpires -eq $False} –Properties "DisplayName", "msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed" | Select-Object -Property "Displayname",@{Name="ExpiryDate";Expression={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_."msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed")}}| Export-CSV -Path ADUsers.csvUsing the users in the ADUSer.csv file (which is obtained using above code) , we would like to use the following pseudo code,
Get Service_Account_List Order by PasswordExpireDate Decending Loop Service_Account in Service_Account List Is Expire_Date < 1 ? Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Expired"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 7?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 7 Days"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 15?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 15 Days"** Else Is Expire_Date <= 30?** Message := Service_Account + "Account Password Will Expire within in 30 Days" End Is Store Message in file End Loop
Needed some help is building this pesudo code shown above, I am also going through tutorials and material which helps me translate this pesudo code into real code but since Powershell scripting is new to me, I am finding it a bit diificult. Any help will be highly appreciated.

PowerShell Forum 2 years, 1 month agoHi,
I am using the following Get-ADUser cmdlet to retrieve the list of all AD users and output these to a file but this list is retrieving only 5 or 6 users, even though the number of active AD users is around 10,000. Where could I be going wrong ? Please advise.
