Pull Users from a list of OUs with powershell

1. put just the usernames in a notepad list one below the other save as a .txt file
2. running powershell as an administrator type  

 import-module ActiveDirectory (press enter)

 Get-content -path c:\filename.txt | Get-ADuser | select samaccountname,mail >c:\report.csv

#where I have c:\filename.txt will be the path and the actual name of your .txt file
#after the > is where you want the file to reside after it is made

no , the text file will include the OUs where I need to pull the users from ..

Are all the users part of the same domain?

Miles,
If all the users are part of the same domain you do not need to specify the OU in the command. If you want to list the OU they are part of  in the csv just add distinguishedname with samaccountname and mail

 Get-content -path c:\filename.txt | Get-ADuser | select samaccountname,mail,distinguishedname >c:\report.csv

They are part of the same domain , but I do not want to pull ALL the users from all OUs .. I am trying to just pull from a list of OUs

Understood

Get-Aduser -filter * -Searchbase  "OU=Users,DC=mylab,DC=com" | Get-ADuser | select samaccountname,mail  >c:\report.csv

revised.  In error I put get-aduser again...this is what you want

Get-Aduser -filter * -Searchbase  "OU=Users,DC=mylab,DC=com"  | select samaccountname,mail  >c:\report.csv

Hi FoxLuv .. well .. the script below works for me but if I have 15 OUs that I want to pull the users from, I want to enter the OUs to a text file .. instead of $OUs = "CN=Users,DC=mylab,DC=com","OU=Admin,DC=mylab,DC=com" with 15 OUs

$OUs = "CN=Users,DC=mylab,DC=com","OU=Admin,DC=mylab,DC=com"
$(ForEach ($OU in $OUs) {Get-aduser -filter * -SearchBase $OU -Properties SamAccountName,Mail | select SamAccountName,Mail }) | Export-csv C:\report.csv -nti

Here is what you are trying to achieve
1. Put the path of your OUs (without quotation marks) ex. OU=Users,DC=mylab,DC=com
  line by line it a txt doc and save it as .csv file
2. running powershell in an elevated command prompt       import-module Activedirectory
 rename  the attached file ou.ps1 and save where you would like.

navigate to the path of the file and then .\ou.ps1  (press enter)
ou.txt

Miles,
Take off the last part of the script where I have >c:\report.csv  that is the wrong output command.  I will get back to you with the correct one

Thanks !! I was missing the "get-content"   I had it as $ou="c:\filewithous.csv"

Your welcome!!!
