How to get group name and EmployeeID from Active Directory?

Question

I have this code where I'm trying to get all user details information existing in an Active Directory.

$path = "C:\ServerDetails"
$LogDate = get-date -f yyyyMMddhhmm
$csvfile = $path + "\ALLADUsers_$logDate.csv"

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$ADServer = 'xx.xx.x.x'

$username = "abc"
$password = "alpha"
$secstr = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.SecureString
$password.ToCharArray() | ForEach-Object {$secstr.AppendChar($_)}
$cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $secstr

Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -Credential $cred -Properties msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed*  -Filter * | 

Select-Object @{Label = "First Name";Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{Label = "Last Name";Expression = {$_.Surname}},
@{Label = "Display Name";Expression = {$_.DisplayName}},

@{Label = "EmployeeID";e={$_.employeeID}},
@{Label = 'GroupName';e={($_.memberof | %{(Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $_).sAMAccountName}) -join ";"}},

@{Label = 'Description';e={$_.Description}},
@{Label = 'PasswordExpired';e={if($_.PasswordExpired){$true} else{$false}}},
@{Label = "PasswordExpiryDate";Expression={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_."msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed")}},
@{Label = "Logon Name";Expression = {$_.sAMAccountName}},
@{Label = "Phone";Expression = {"Ext - $(-Join $_.TelephoneNumber[-4..-1])"}},
@{Label = "Email";Expression = {$_.Mail}},
@{Label = "Account Status";Expression = {if (($_.Enabled -eq 'TRUE')  ) {'Enabled'} Else {'Disabled'}}}, # the 'if statement# replaces $_.Enabled
@{Label = "Last LogOn Date";e={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_.lastLogonTimestamp)}}| 

#Export CSV report

Export-Csv -Path $csvfile -NoTypeInformation

All the other details are perfectly fine except for the group name where the user resides and the employeeID number.

Any help is much appreciated.

What you are after is this. It will search the groups of the user, extract the Name and join them as required.

{($_  | %{(Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $_.SamAccountName).Name -join ";"})}

What you had was this

# $_.memberof is using the full name of groups the user is in
# the groups do not have a .SamAccountName for this type
{($_.memberof | %{(Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership $_).sAMAccountName}) -join ";"}

As for employeeID, can you confirm that the .EmployeeID attribute is used for one of your users? Your code seems to work for me when I have something in the EmployeeID field. Ensure that you are not using an extensionAttribute as some companies may be doing.
