What is with "(cn=*Picard)" -- Im not looking for any certian user, but I
tried it both with it and without it for us. I need a list of users in a .CSV
format - firstname, lastname, middle initial, email address.. Thanks
Here's the error I got Bob:
An error occurred while enumerating through a collection: The
(&(objectClass=user)(cn=*picard) search filter is invalid
...
At C:\scripts\Ad_Connection2.ps1:4 char:1
+ $ <<<< searcher.findall() | % {$_.path}
