Vista - Get group membership

Hello,

I am using the following code to obtain group membership:

$group = [ADSI] "LDAP://cn=group,ou=OU,dc=domain,dc=org"
$group.member

This works fine. I now want to write this to html so use

$group.member | convertto-HTML

But this simply displays numbers and not the group members...

I also get numbers if I use export-csv.

Does anybody know of a way to get group membership and output it to html or
csv?

Thanks

I know we solved this in the ScriptingAnswers.com forums but for readers who don't frequent that site here's what I posted:

The problem is that the output of Member is simply a string. The number is the length of the string. What you need to do is get each account, some properties and then convert to html or whatever. Here's an example:


$group.member | foreach {$user=[adsi]"LDAP://$_"; $user | Select @{name="DN";Expression={$_.DistinguishedName}}
,@{name="name";Expression={$_.Name}},@{name="Title";Expression={$_.Title}}} | convertto-html

Hello David,

Adding to Jeffrey, use select-object to 'convert' the piped strings to custom
objects using a calculated property and then
assign the 'new' property name to ConvertTo-Html:


PS > $group.member | select @{n="DN";e={$_}} | ConvertTo-Html -Property DN
