Get-QADGroupMember

A friend of mine posed the following question to me today at work:

Do you have any script to input a security group (GG or DLG, etc) and dump/extract the members (SAMID and e-mail address) into a file (txt or csv)?

As a matter of fact I do have a script to do that, actually it is more of a one liner. Here is the text. The text in red would be replaced with whatever group you wanted:

Get-QADGroupMember grp-wism-admins select samaccountname, displayname, email Export-Csv -Path groupsearch.csv –NoTypeInformation

One caveat. For this to run you have to install the AD cmdlets from Quest Software. These are available free from Quest. These are very powerful, useful cmdlets which make working with Active Directory a breeze in Powershell.

The software download is available here:
http://www.quest.com/powershell/activeroles-server.aspx

You'll want to download and install the 32 or 64 bit version based on your hardware. You'll also want to download the PDF based Administrator's Guide. It details the install, and also gives good examples of the Quest cmdlets. Help on the Quest cmdlets is also available through standard Powershell help methods. i.e. help get-qadgroupmember -full

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks
