无法将 Get-aduser 值存储到变量

Question

I am unable to Store value of Get-aduser -filter * into a variable below is the code, $a shows blank.

$a=Get-ADUser -filter * | Select samaccountname, mail, surname, givenname,LastLogondate 

This one works fine for single object:

$a=Get-ADUser -identity 'name' | Select samaccountname, mail, surname, givenname,LastLogondate 

But i want for All users, is there an alternate way to handle this request.?

Answer 1

Can't comment yet :(

the code

$a=Get-ADUser -filter * | Select samaccountname, mail, surname, givenname,LastLogondate 

is correct and works fine for me, what happens if you run normally without the variable?

as an answer you could try

$a=Get-ADUser -Filter 'Name -like "*"' | Select samaccountname, mail, surname, givenname,LastLogondate | ft

Answer 2

Well I was Still not able store -filter output in a variable. Hence went another way round of exporting to text file and then get the text file info into foreach loop to perform further activity, below part of code might help someone, don't forget to remove the aduser.txt after each run, will look into better solution sometime later:

Get-ADUser -filter * -property name | select samaccountname -ExpandProperty samaccountname|out-file c:\aduser.txt -Append
 $usersname=""  
 $usersname=get-content c:\aduser.txt
 $usersname.count
 $vmarray=""
 $vmarray=@()
 foreach ($item in $usersname)

 {
    $list=""
        $list=get-aduser -Identity $item -property mail, surname, givenname, LastLogondate,memberof| Select samaccountname, mail, surname, givenname,LastLogondate,memberof
        $member=get-aduser -Identity $item -property memberof| Select memberof -ExpandProperty memberof

                $mem=""
                $ou=""
                foreach ($mem in $member)
                {
                $ou= ($mem.memberof).replace("OU=","")
            }



            $obj= new-object psobject -Property @{
            EmailId=$list.mail
            SurName=$list.surname
            FirstName=$list.givenname
            lastlogon=$list.LastLogondate
            Adid=$list.samaccountname
            FullmembershipOU=$ou
            InfoRecordedON=$date
            }
            $vmarray+=$obj
            }



 $vmarray.count
 $vmarray|ft
