Export Information from Active Directory

September 12, 2003

 

Here's a quick and easy way to gather information from Active Directory and import it into a spreadsheet:

Run Active Directory Users and Computers.

Select View -> Add/Remove Columns, and add the columns you want to display and export (e-mail address, last name, etc.).

Select the Users container or another organizational unit (OU) within your Active Directory hierarchy.

Right click on this same container/OU, select Export List and provide a path/filename.

Open up the exported text file with Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet application.
You now have the information you need in spreadsheet format.
