Querying multiple AD domains to find a list of users using filter -eq

PowerShell Help

Hi All,

I am currently using this script to export a list of AD users from a CSV file input. The process is running correctly, but it generates several errors. This is because I believe it queries all the domains returning an error when it doesn’t find the object in the domain.

$csvdata = Import-Csv -Path $csvfile

$result = foreach ($domain in $domains)


{


$csvdata | ForEach-Object { Get-ADUser -Server $domain -Identity $_.muid } | select-object -property DistinguishedName



}


$result | Out-file -Append -FilePath $txtfile1

I get returned the following error even though it then finds the user 
Get-ADUser : Cannot find an object with identity: 'XXXXXXXX' under: 'DC=corp,DC=domain,DC=com'.
At line:3 char:33
+ ... ForEach-Object { Get-ADUser -Server $domain -Identity $_.muid } | sel ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (XXXXXXXX:ADUser) [Get-ADUser], ADIdentityNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.ADIdentityNotFoundException,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.GetADUser
I understand if I use the cmdlet filter something like -eq it would then return no errors, but I am unable to make it work so far.

Is there any way you can help me with the script above to filter only the users found and return no errors?

 

 

Thanks,
