Getting list of all Activesync devices

PowerShell Help

Hi all,

I currently have these 2 lines which generate a pretty comprehensive list of all AS devices in Exchange 2010:

$UserList = Get-CASMailbox -Filter {hasactivesyncdevicepartnership -eq $true -and -not displayname -like "CAS_{"} | Get-Mailbox
$UserList | foreach {Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox $.Alias} | export-csv -path c]

The problem is that the resulting csv does not contain a nicely formatted list of usernames, only the mailbox identity which, while it contains the user name, is not easy to read or put in a report. The "get-casmailbox… | get-mailbox" portion of the script does return the user name, but then piping that output to the get-activesyncdevicestatistics command loses it. Is there someway to link/combine the 2 commands/outputs so that we end up with a list of users, the activesync devices that have connected to their mailbox and the last successful sync time?

I hope that makes sense and thanks in advance!

Since you’re using Exchange 2010, why not just do this?

Get-ActiveSyncDevice | Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics | Export-Csv "C:\Temp\Filename.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Thanks for the suggestion; unfortunately that command results in exactly the same output as my original script…

So you want some of the output from the first object, and some from the second. The best way I know to do that is to create your own object with exactly the properties you’re interested in.

$UserInfo = @()
$UserList = Get-CASMailbox -Filter {hasactivesyncdevicepartnership -eq $true -and -not displayname -like "CAS{"} | Get-Mailbox
Foreach ($User in $Userlist)
{
$Devices = Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox $User.Alias
Foreach($Device in $Devices)
{
$UserInfo += [pscustomobject]@{Name=$User.Name;DeviceType=$Device.DeviceType;DeviceID=$Device.DeviceID;DeviceOS=$Device.DeviceOS}
}
}
$UserInfo | Export-CSV -path C:\filename.csv -NoTypeInformation
I chose a few properties to put into the custom object to start with, but you can add any other properties you want from either of the objects we’re using ($User or $Device), just add them with Name=Value with semicolon in between.

Also, I added a second loop for devices, since in my environment I was finding users with multiple devices which was breaking the CSV export.

Adding to kittH’s excellent example, I had the same problem and used the following Power Shell Magazine Article to help figure out which custom object creation technique worked best for me.

Thanks to both of you for your replies and suggestions! Sorry for the delay in replying but I was out on holiday…
I took Kitt’s example, saved it as a .ps1 and then ran it. A sample of the output is below:

IsReadOnly IsFixedSize IsSynchronized Keys Values SyncRoot Count
FALSE FALSE FALSE System.Collections.Hashtable+KeyCollection System.Collections.Hashtable+ValueCollection System.Object 4
FALSE FALSE FALSE System.Collections.Hashtable+KeyCollection System.Collections.Hashtable+ValueCollection System.Object 4
FALSE FALSE FALSE System.Collections.Hashtable+KeyCollection System.Collections.Hashtable+ValueCollection System.Object 4
FALSE FALSE FALSE System.Collections.Hashtable+KeyCollection System.Collections.Hashtable+ValueCollection System.Object 4
FALSE FALSE FALSE System.Collections.Hashtable+KeyCollection System.Collections.Hashtable+ValueCollection System.Object 4

Am I missing something? Was I supposed to edit something in the code (other than the output filename/location)?

Thanks!

What version of powershell are you running? (You can check with Get-Host)

And to confirm, you’re running in a session connected to the exchange management shell?
