As I mentioned you need to change the LDAP namespace to reflect the DS in
your organization.

In regards to the Filter I simply wanted to show to specify a compound
filter the syntax is a little different than most people are used to the
logical operator must be first.

All the filter did was return _only_ Captain Jean-Luc Picard. While you can
filter on the client side also it's much more effiecient for the machine that
contains the AD to filter the data for you.

In your case since you're not looking for a particular individual use

"(objectClass=User)"

All I've given you is a start. There is more work that you'll need to do I
suggest by looking at both

$searcher.findall()[0] | get-member
$searcher.findall()[0].Properties | get-member.

Ok, something about perspiration is the mother of all.. anyway-- here is the
code I finally was able to use to resolve my issue.

I used Quest AD cmdlet PS to finally get my list:

get-qadgroupmember Accountants | format-table DisplayName,Initials,EMAIL >
C:\Accountants.txt

Individual attributes can be attained and then formatted like above from:
Get-QADUser “Bruce Payette� | Format-List

Thank goodness thats over but what fun learning so I can't complain. Thanks
to all those who tried to help. It's Miller time!

simple one liner
Get-QADUser | where {$_.CanonicalName -match "Desired Group Name"} | fl
givenname,sn,DisplayName,mail

if cononical name does not suite your needs run
Get-QADUser "logonname for a known user in given group" | fl * | more

and scan for appropriate property containing group name
possibly ParentContainer and substitue $_.ParentContainer for
$_.CanonicalName

using -match instead of -eq allows you to use the least complex unique form
so
for group a group Systems Ifrastructure under group Systems you could use
-match "Systems Inf"

i assume you can figure out the csv output
i am assuming you can figure out the output to csv

Voodoo, your on a whole other level, none of your stuff works or makes sence
to me. "CanonicalName" - lol ok.

Not sure if you ever found what you were looking for but I got this to work:

Get-QADGroupMember "GroupName" | ft givenname,sn,displayname,mail

Just subsitute whatever group you want in for GroupName.

Example:

Get-QADGroupMember "accountants" | ft givenname,sn,displayname,mail

Hope that helps.
