Output stale user accounts into log file with only username variables

something like this should work.

$now=get-date
$daysSinceLastLogon=60(whatever your time farme for being stale is)

Get-QADUser | where {
  $_.lastlogontimestamp -and
    (($now-$_.lastlogontimestamp).days -gt $daysSinceLastLogon)
} | export-csv c:\StaleUsers.csv

The problem with your script is that your tokens are designed to parse the default output (cn=SomeUser,OU=SomOU...), but at the same time, you're using "-o RDN", which already echos only the names.
It can be a one-liner in batch:

(for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dsquery.exe user OU=Depts,OU=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x -o rdn -limit 0 -inactive 8') do echo %%~a)>C:\tools\staleADPc1-N.log

Select allOpen in new window

It's easier to understand like this:

@echo off
setlocal
set LogFile=C:\tools\staleADPc1-N.log
if exist "%LogFile%" del "%LogFile%"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dsquery.exe user OU=Depts,OU=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x -o rdn -limit 0 -inactive 8') do (
	echo %%~a
	>>"%LogFile%" echo %%~a
)

Select allOpen in new window

@oBdA, thanks for the explanation as I understand what I was doing wrong now (and great to see you again).  When I run the script mentioned in your reply, the data that populates the log file is correct but contains quotation marks:

"CSV8"
"CSV7"
"CSV1"
"CSV17"
"CSV13"

How do I get rid of the quotation marks?

@bepsoccer1, thanks for the reply.  I had to make a couple of changes to the script you suggested and I am including the message window that appears.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$now=get-date
$daysSinceLastLogon=60 

Get-ADUser | where {
  $_.lastlogontimestamp -and 
    (($now-$_.lastlogontimestamp).days -gt $daysSinceLastLogon)
} | export-csv c:\Tools\StaleUsers.csv

Select allOpen in new window

I'm not sure if you meant GET-QADUser or GET-ADUser but I used the later as I figured that is what you meant.  Let me know what you think about the window that popped up when I ran the script.

**Edit:  I'm not sure why it won't let me attach or insert a pic.  I'm working on that now.

Shouldn't be the case and doesn't here (I thought that was the point of the "for /f", otherwise you could just redirect the "dsquery -o rdn" output directly).
Make sure the tilde ("~") is there when addressing the loop variable, it strips away surrounding quotes: echo %%~a

oBdA, my apologies.  I was looking at an older log file I was testing with previously.  

When I run this code (please verify I have the values correct), I get this message:

C:\Tools>staleaduser
dsquery failed:'Depts' is an unknown parameter.
type dsquery /? for help.

When I run the command dsquery user from the command prompt, no problem.  The same when I run the entire "dsquery user ou=x,dc=x -inactive 8" command.  I do have the OU and DC fields populated correctly as I took them from another script that works.  Thoughts?

@echo off
setlocal
set LogFile=C:\tools\staleADUser1-N.log
if exist "%LogFile%" del "%LogFile%"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dsquery.exe user OU=x,OU=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x -o rdn -limit 0 -inactive 8') do (
	echo %%~a
	>>"%LogFile%" echo %%~a
)

Select allOpen in new window

No log or output file is being created when this script runs, for what its worth.

Progress!!

The output file is in the right format however I'm getting the "display name" not the user's "logon name" (jjones)

Output > Jones, JJ  (xx)
Logon name > JJones

Wait, I think I figured it out.  I use -o samid instead of -o rdn

Yes?

Hahahaha!!  That's funny.  How many milliseconds in-between those two posts were there?

Thanks oBdA!

Great working with you again!  I really appreciate you explaining the answer instead of just posting the code.  That really helps me (and I'm sure others) learn so much quicker.  Take care and I look forward to working with you again.
