UserPrincipalName

PowerShell Help
1

Hi Guys.
When running the following command i am not quite getting the output i need.

Get-QADUser -proxy -SearchRoot $OU | Select-object UserPrincipalName

The results are like this

@{UserPrincipalName=name@domain.com}

When all i need is name@domain.com

Any ideas how i can change the output?

Thanks in advance

Is there a special reason why you’re still using the old and obsolete Quest AD PowerShell module? I’d recommend to use the original MSFT AD PowerShell module installed with the RSAT tools.

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Users,DC=Contoso,DC=com' |
    Select-Object -Property UserPrincipalName

If you want the output as an array of strings you can use -ExpandProperty instead of -Property but the rest stays the same.

Hi. We use Quest Active Roles so need to use the Quest CMD.

but thanks. I was missing -ExpandProperty

Thanks for the nudge on this one.

OK, but in this particular case … what benefit does the Quest cmdlet provides compared to the original MSFT cmdlet? :thinking:

You’re very welcome. :wink: :slightly_smiling_face:

Because as part of the script which you dont see it is connecting to a Managed Unit within the Quest product. If i was targeting a standard OU then the AD native would be fine.
