PowerShell: Export Active Directory Group Members

To accomplish this we can use PowerShell.

In this tutorial, I will walk through the steps for exporting group members to a csv file.

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Load the Active Directory Module

To connect and query an AD group with PowerShell the Active Directory module needs to be loaded.

The Active Directory module can be installed with the following methods:

• Having RSAT tools installed
• Windows Server 208 R2 and above with the AD DS or AD LDS server roles

You can run the following command to see if you have installed

Get-Module -Listavailable

Issue: Display shows organizer’s name instead of subject

Solution to a common Office 365 & Exchange Resource Mailbox Issue

In Office 365 & Microsoft Exchange, by default, your resource mailbox won’t show your Meeting Subject. Instead, it replaces this with your organizer’s name. This occurs for privacy reasons, but it’s only the default. Most organizations opt to see meeting subjects instead.

 

 

Consider the following:

• A Resource mailbox is configured to AutoAccept in an Microsoft Exchange Server or Office 365 environment.
• You send a meeting request to the Resource mailbox.
• The meeting request is accepted automatically, and the meeting subject is displayed correctly in the organizer’s mailbox.

In this scenario, when you log on to the Resource mailbox, you see that the meeting subject is replaced with the organizer’s name.
