Powershell – How to get specific properties with Get-AdUser

active-directorypowershellpowershell-2.0

I have the following PS script written:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Users & Computers, DC=aaaaaaa, DC=com' -Properties DisplayName | Export-CSV "ADUsers.csv"

From what I can tell it should be returning only DisplayName. It's returning everything though. Problem is that DistinguishedName is causing truncation problems later on in my process. How can I get the script to only return certain properties?

Best Answer

using select-object for example:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Users & Computers, DC=aaaaaaa, DC=com' -Properties DisplayName | select -expand displayname | Export-CSV "ADUsers.csv"
