PowerShell: Need Assistance in Querying Active Directory Attribute

Windows Server 2008 R2
Lync Server 2010

Hey Experts, I'm hoping you can help me out. I attempted to compile a short script to query a specific attribute in all AD user objects within a designated Lync Server OU. I simply want to query the thumbnailPhoto attribute in each of these user objects and if possible, parse the data to CSV file, but only from the accounts that have an existing thumbnail.

Based on information I found, I attempted to accomplish this by using a Get-QADuser cmdlet, however, when I executed the command, PowerShell did not recognize the cmdlet.

Any help would be appreciated.

You are using QADuser which is part of the Quest AD cmdlets. You can download those for free

Here is an example I helped with using adfind (looking for thumbnailphoto)

Thanks for the quick response, Mike. Unfortunately, I'm in a secured facility on a production server and can't download any third party applications.

There has to be a way to accomplish utlizing the AD module through PowerShell.
