Page through user properties in Active Directory?

[iSteve]

Hi,

 

Running Sevrer 2008R2 - I want to find a way to look through user's AD user properties, without having to right click their name > Properties > Telephone for each user. Specifically I want to see if their Pager and PO Box fields are populated.

 

Is there a way to manipulate AD to, for example, show the 'telephones' property tab, and be able to page through each user? Failing that, is there a way to generate a report of which users have info in, for example, the Pager field?

 

TIA.

Have you got Powershell on your DCs, or the RSAT tools on your PC with Powershell?

 

It should be a one-liner or possibly two.

 

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

Get-ADUser -filter * -properties pager,pobox | ft DisplayName, Pager, POBox -autosize

 

That's without testing!

Thanks - Not done much of this before - how would I restrict this to a specific OU of users, rather than all users on the system?

[color=#333333][i]Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase "OU=Somewhere,DC=Domain,DC=Local" -properties pager,pobox | ft DisplayName, Pager, POBox -autosize
[/i][/color]

 

To output to a file just replace change it to:

 

For CSV

[color=#333333][i]Import-Module ActiveDirectory[/i][/color]
[color=#333333][i]Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase "OU=Somewhere,DC=Domain,DC=Local" -properties pager,pobox | export-csv C:\File.csv
[/i][/color]

 

For Text file

[color=#333333][i]Import-Module ActiveDirectory[/i][/color]
[color=#333333][i]Get-ADUser -filter * -searchbase "OU=Somewhere,DC=Domain,DC=Local" -properties pager,pobox | Out-file C:\File.txt
[/i][/color]
