Export Computer Object Information from Active Directory

Sometimes you might be interested in gathering a list of all computers from an Active Directory domain in preparation for migration.

You can gather a list of all computer objects using the following command.

# Fetch a sorted list of all computer objects
Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Sort-Object Name 

The wildcard with the Property parameter fetches all available attributes for a computer object. Check the available attributes in the result set to identify the attributes you are interested in.

# Example output for the first computer object gathered from Active Directory
(Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Sort-Object Name)[0]

As a next step, you gather the selected information and 

# Fetch data for an operating system overview, sorted by property Name only
Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemServicePack,OperatingSystemVersion 

# Fetch data for an operating system overview, 
# sorted by property OperatingSystem first, then Name 
Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Sort-Object OperatingSystem,Name | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemServicePack,OperatingSystemVersion 

You can export the gathered information to a comma-separated file easily using the Export-Csv cmdlet.

# Export the gathered and sorted information to a CSV file using a 
# semicolon as the delimiter
# Adjust the file path for the CSV file to fit your environment
Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Property * | Sort-Object OperatingSystem,Name | Select Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemServicePack,OperatingSystemVersion | Export-Csv -Path C:SCRIPTSComputerOverview.csv -NoClobber -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter ';'
