powershell get a list of users membership to a group

What exactly is the problem? Error messages, incomplete/erroneous data?

Anyway, if you want to export to csv it's better to use Export-Csv instead of Out-File.

And if you're printing to a text file, I would use echo instead of write-host.

HTH,
Dan

No error message it displays on the screen. As I stated trying to get this to get to a csv file.

I placed an echo instead of write host and my output is numbers. Have you tested your solution Dan.

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=contoso users,OU=SBG,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Filter * | foreach-object {
echo "User:" $_.Name
    Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $_.SamAccountName | foreach-object {
      echo "Member Of:" $_.name
    }
} | export-csv -notypeinformation c:\temp\listall.csv

First example you have used write-host, which will not pass any object to pipe line, so it won’t work. Second example you have used Echo with Export-csv. echo will pass the objects to powershell pipeline however Export-csv won’t accept any objects with property name (echo with out-file may work). Try this and see if it works for you..

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=contoso users,OU=SBG,DC=contoso,DC=com" -Filter * | foreach-object {
$User = $_.Name 
 Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $_.SamAccountName | Select @{N="User";e={$User}},@{N="User";e={$_.Name}}
} | export-csv -notypeinformation c:\temp\listall.csv

Select allOpen in new window

I guess your advice did not work Dan. Anyone else can assist with this issue.
