I'm running this command:

Get-mailcontact -identity "wendy.anderson" | fl name, emailaddresses, legacyexchangeDN

to get this output:

Name : Anderson, Wendy
EmailAddresses : {smtp:Wendy.Anderson@company.com, SMTP:WAnderso@scompany.com, x500:/o=EMAIL/ou=NA-DTW/cn=Recipients/cn=andersw, X500:/o=SPPT/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Anderson?Wendy}
LegacyExchangeDN : /o=SNA/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Anderson, Wendy

I'm wondering what the best way to parse out the last SPPT x500 address in emailaddresses and the legacy address. basically, i would want the output to be:

/o=SPPT/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Anderson?Wendy

/o=SNA/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Anderson, Wendy thanks

It's a bit difficult to read what you have being it has been all stuck together as one line. One tip though, you need to do any changes to your objects usually *before* calling fl (Format-List).

Can you try posting what you want again?

sorry i fixed up the entry. For some reason it wasn't seeing my line breaks so i added in the html for them.



hmm...if i don't call 'fl' then i don't get all the data i need. Here is the output without format list:



[PS] D:\scripts\batch_files>Get-mailcontact -identity "wendy.anderson"




Name Alias RecipientType

---- ----- -------------

Anderson, Wendy Wendy.Anderson MailContact


Should I be formatting to a different output type to get the other information like email addresses then?

to get all info for the contact run a

Get-mailcontact -identity "wendy.anderson" | fl

to get specific fields...

Get-mailcontact -identity "wendy.anderson" | select Displayname, alias, primarysmtpaddress, etc....

when you run the | fl command, you will be able to see all the available fields..

Thanks

You can still use FL, you may just need to add it at the end. Before I confuse you too much, I'll stop. I don't have an Exchange VM to test this so someone else may have to step in and help you.

another option,

if you just want to get all the info, and export it to an excel format

get-mailcontact -identity "wendy.anderson" | export-csv C:\Info.csv

oh shoot, i'll test this quick.. i went back and re-read the top post...

$email = get-mailcontact ...
$email.emailaddresses | where {$_.proxyaddressstring -clike "X500*"} | select addressstring

that should get you the primary X500 address... -like would get you all x500 addresses..

Thanks
Pres

wow that was very helpful. thank you! the only thing i am wondering now is there anyway to remove the header line addressstring?

I'm getting output like this when i have 2 users in the list:

[PS] D:\scripts\batch_files>.\Batch_Get_x500.ps1
Marzolino, Scott

/o=SPPT/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=Marzolino?Scott
