The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I Pipe Value of PowerShell Array Value to Export-Csv?

Asked by goneal in Powershell, Scripting Languages, Active Directory

I use the script posted in the code section of this post to return information from Active Directory.

What I would like to know is how I can pipe the results of the $colResults variable to a csv without it giving me the LDAP and properties of the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry object. What I'm after is a comma separated values machine list. The last 2 lines of code will give me exactly what I want, but it writes it to the host.

I have tried repositioning the pipe line for the Export-csv call, but it either prompts me for the input object for each machine, or else if I put it at the end, it returns an empty file with just a length header and a numeric value representing the length of the last object passed, which I assume to be a machine name.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
