Get DN from SAMAccountName

Hi,

I'm looking to do something that I assume is quite simple for someone in the know. I have a CSV file with a list of SAMAccountNames and from that I want to use Powershell to output a list of Distinguished Names. Anyone know how?

Thanks.

I've almost got it. It's just the 'filter' part I need help with. This:

PS C:\Temp> import-csv "c:\temp\users.csv" | Get-ADUser -filter 'samaccountname
-like "*"' | FT name

Open in new window

Nearly works but because I've put the wildcard in, it's trying to return every AD object! What filter do I need so it only looks at what's in the CSV file?

Can't test it at the moment, but that should do it:

Get-Content -Path "C:\Temp\users.txt" | % {Get-ADUser -Identity $_} | Select-Object -Property SamAccountName, DistinguishedName

Open in new window

To put that into a csv file again:

Get-Content C:\Temp\users.csv | % {Get-ADUser -Identity $_} | Select-Object -Property SamAccountName, DistinguishedName | Export-Csv -Path "C:\Temp\export.csv" -NoTypeInformation
