It works great. I got DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database Just wonder can we get these results by each OU? How can I pipe out to the csv file? Thank you very much.

You can just add -OrganizationalUnit to the original cmd so: Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "Sales" | ft DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database then to export Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "Sales" | ft DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database | Export-Csv -Path c:\users.csv -NoTypeInformation If you want to run through each OU then you would have to get a list of the OUs then run a foreach loop on them. Although you could just do this: Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | ft DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database,OrganizationalUnit | Export-Csv -Path c:\users.csv -NoTypeInformation Then in excel you can sort the users by OU.DJ Grijalva | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | www.persistentcerebro.com

If you want a display broken down by OU: Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | group organizationalunit | sort name |% {$_.name;$_.group |ft DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database}[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

Hi mjolinor, It works beautifully. But, how can I pipe out the result to csv file or txt file? Thank you.

When you export to csv, use Select instead of ft. FT adds formatting codes to make it look nice on the screen, but if you try to pipe that straight into export-csv, all those formatting codes go with it, and your csv turns into an ugly mess. Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited -OrganizationalUnit "Sales" | select DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database | Export-Csv -Path c:\users.csv -NoTypeInformation [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

See the other post on how to export to csv. You can't really FT and the export that to .csv, but you can export it to a .txt file like this: Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | group organizationalunit | sort name |% {$_.name;$_.group |ft DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,SamAccountName,Database} | out-string | out-file c:\userlist.txt [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "
