Use the following:

# Import Active Directory module
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
# Retrieve schema information for all attributes
$attributes = Get-ADObject -SearchBase (Get-ADRootDSE).schemaNamingContext -LDAPFilter "(objectClass=attributeSchema)" -Properties * | Select-Object Name, Description
# Export the attributes to a CSV file
$attributes | Export-Csv -Path "AD_Attributes.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Hi Richa Kumari,

Thank you for posting on the Q&A Forum.

To retrieve a list of all properties from Active Directory (including default and custom properties) and save them to a CSV file, you can use the following PowerShell script:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory


$allProperties = Get-ADObject -Filter * -Properties * | Get-Member -MemberType Property | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name


$allProperties | Export-Csv -Path "AD_Properties_List.csv" -NoTypeInformation

After running this script, it will retrieve all properties of all objects in Active Directory and save the list of these properties to a CSV file named "AD_Properties_List.csv".

Please note that this script will return all properties of all objects, which may include a large number of properties. If you only want to retrieve properties for specific types of objects (such as users, computers, etc.), you can specify the appropriate filter criteria in the Filter parameter of the Get-ADObject cmdlet.

All the best
