Hi everyone, I am quite new to powershell and am looking for some help with a script I am trying to export to CSV.

I am trying to get a thorough listing of all users in a group including their membership in all nested groups. This script gives me the thorough information I am looking for. However, my only problem is when I try exporting this to csv, I do not get the information displayed on the screen.

I get something that looks like this in the CSV…

Count Length LongLength Rank SyncRoot IsReadOnly IsFixedSize IsSynchronized
24 24 24 1 System.Object FALSE TRUE FALSE
37 37 37 1 System.Object FALSE TRUE FALSE

I tried using the Out-File command, that works…but I definitely need this to be a delimited file for sorting and reporting.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!


$g = Get-QADGroup "DCI\Enterprise Admins" -SizeLimit 0 | Foreach-Object{
$group = $
Get-QADGroupMember $ -SizeLimit 0 -Type User | Select-Object @{n=‘GroupName’;e={$group.Name}},Name,LogonName
}

$g1 = Get-QADGroupMember "DCI\Enterprise Admins" -Indirect -Type Group | Foreach-Object {
$ngroup = $
Get-QADGroupMember $ | Select-Object @{n=‘GroupName’;e={$ngroup.Name}},Name,LogonName
}

$($g,$g1) | export-csv c:\script\testing.csv -NoTypeInformation

The problem is that you’re exporting two collections to a CSV file, not the contents of one collection (which is really what you want to do). Try this instead:

(@($g) + @($g1)) | Export-Csv C:\script\testing.csv -NoTypeInformation

That will combine $g and $g1 into one large collection, even if either of them contains only one member, and then it will export the contents of that collection to CSV.
