Hi Experts

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=MYOU,OU=TopLevelOU,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Properties * | Select-Object Displayname,Description,userprincipalname,samaccountname,LastLogin | Export-csv C:\output.csv -NoTypeInformation

Answer 1

The below PowerShell command should work

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=Research,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Properties * | Select-Object name | export-csv -path c:\temp\userexport.csv  

You can also do the same task using AD GUI

• Open AD, Click on Filter Button.

• Perform a Custom filter for Organization Unit.

• Click on the Export button

• Select CSV file extension

Hi @Roger Roger

Something like this:

If you have a big AD, that might take a while though.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * | export-csv c:\ADusers.csv

Export users from Active Directory using PowerShell
There is another, much quicker way to accomplish the title task. You can export users from Active Directory using PowerShell. The cmdlet below exports a complete list of my company’s users to a csv file.

Get-ADUser -Filter 'Company -like "Alpha*"' -Properties * | Select -Property EmailAddress,GivenName,Surname,DisplayName,Title,Department,Office,OfficePhone,MobilePhone,Fax,StreetAddress,City,State,PostalCode,Country | Export-CSV "C:\\ADusers.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
