Exporting member info for a specific distribution group.
Exchange 2007 SP3 I've been tasked with exporting name and smtp address information from specific distribution groups to a .csv. I have a .ps1 file I've been working with, but it's not giving me the output I need. Here's the scripting that I have now - $members = Get-DistributionGroup -Identity AllDistributers<br/>Get-Recipient $members.RecipientFilter | select Displayname,PrimarySMTPAddress > alldist.csv What it's returning in the CSV is every contact and mailbox in the entire organization, so it's not filtering it by the group I specified. Also, within the CSV, the name and address are both in the same cell, so it's not doing that right, either. Any thoughts? Thanks, Noah

Distribution groups don't have a recipientfilter property (dynamic distribution groups do). The result is the same as running "get-recipient" with no parameters. Use this: (get-group dlname).members | foreach {get-recipient $_} | select displayname,primarysmtpaddress | export-csv c:\temp\xxx.csv -notypeinfo >Also, within the CSV, the name and address are both in the same cell, so it's not doing that right, either. > >Any thoughts? If you want a CSV file pipe the output of the "select" into "export-csv", don't redirect the data to a file. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
