Powershell slow

$user = [ADSI]"WinNT://ud1/jordd03"
$user | get-member

The above get-member displays only the default attributes, how the get the
complete list of attributes from the get-member command

Hello Swamy,
Swamy;

What happens when you run the one-liner I suggested?

get-content user.txt | foreach {[ADSI]"LDAP://$_"} | sort altrecipient |
select-object displayname, altrecipient

That is inefficient

Try This

foreach($user in (get-content user.txt)){get-qaduser $user -IncludedProperties
altrecipient,DisplayName | select-object displayname,altrecipient}


This is with 1000 users

101# measure-command {foreach($user in (get-content user.txt)){get-qaduser
-ldap "(&(objectcategory=user)(samAccountName=$user))"
-IncludedProperties altrecipient,DisplayName | select-object displayname,altrecipient
| sort altrecipient | out-null}}

Outputting to file

The way you posted could have issues if the user is not found or blank as
it will parse the entire directory. With a filter you get an exact match.
This is because get-qaduser treats -id as a wild card. In my case I couldn't
even get it to finish because I have 100s of thousands of users.

The problem here, I am guessing is the way that Quest processes the entries.
I would talk to them first.

p.s. Should ask for the ability to pass a text file or array directly to
get-qaduser
get-qaduser -file user.txt
or
get-qaduser -id (get-content user.txt)
