PowerShell need to pull user info from ad group

You didn't define $name  anywhere in script.. Try..

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity vpn | ForEach-Object {
Get-ADUser  $_.Samaccountname  -SearchBase "ou=Users, dc=Domain, dc=com" -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,whenCreated,Enabled,Organization | Sort-Object -Property Name } | Export-Csv c:\temp\test1.csv

Select allOpen in new window

Or

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity vpn | Get-ADUser -Filter $name  -SearchBase "ou=Users, dc=Domain, dc=com" -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,whenCreated,Enabled,Organization | Sort-Object -Property Name } | Export-Csv c:\temp\test1.csv

Select allOpen in new window

You are asking for the properties of $name - which is an undefined var. You'll have to use $_.Name instead.

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity vpn | ForEach-Object {
  Get-ADUser -Filter $_.Name  -SearchBase "ou=Users, dc=Domain, dc=com" -Properties * |
  Select-Object -Property Name, SamAccountName, Description, EmailAddress, LastLogonDate, Manager, Title, Department, whenCreated, Enabled, Organization |
  Sort-Object -Property Name
} | Export-Csv c:\temp\test1.csv

Select allOpen in new window

You can prevent from such mistakes if you run

Set-StrictMode -version latest

Select allOpen in new window

as very first command of your prompt or script. That switches to a more strict policy about using undefined vars (and more), which is useful in particular to detect typos.

There is an update in the second code which I posted (I missed to remove the $name)...

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity vpn | Get-ADUser -SearchBase "ou=Users, dc=Domain, dc=com" -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,whenCreated,Enabled,Organization | Sort-Object -Property Name } | Export-Csv c:\temp\test1.csv

The last approach (of Subsun, using the pipe directly) is the best one, as it just passes the object as necessary along the pipe. This often works as expected.

This is the error I am getting when I use -filter $_.name: Get-ADUser : Error parsing query: 'Brandi Snead' Error Message: 'syntax error' at position: '8'.

This what I get when I use $_.Samaccountname

Use the syntax as shown in http:#a39242052 .

Qlemo,

When I run it like you want in a39242052 it is asking for a Filter.  I try a * and it came back with everything in the users OU.

Try..

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity vpn | ?{$_.distinguishedName -like "*ou=Users,dc=Domain,dc=com"} | Get-ADUser -Properties * | Select-Object -Property Name,SamAccountName,Description,EmailAddress,LastLogonDate,Manager,Title,Department,whenCreated,Enabled,Organization | Sort-Object -Property Name | Export-Csv c:\temp\test1.csv

I get no errors and it creates a file but there is nothing in it.  What does the ? do?
