You can export LDAP query results into a CSV file using PowerShell pretty easily. First, you should make sure you have the necessary modules loaded. You can use the "Get-ADUser" or "Get-ADObject" cmdlets, depending on what you need. Execute a query like this:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property DisplayName, EmailAddress |
Select-Object DisplayName, EmailAddress |
Export-Csv -Path "C:\path\to\your\file.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Just replace ""C:\path\to\your\file.csv"" with your desired path and filename. The "-Property" switch allows you to specify which attributes you want to include in the CSV.
If you're looking for a more complex query, you can write a custom LDAP filter using the "-LDAPFilter" parameter. Once you've set that up, you can use the same "Export-Csv" cmdlet to save the results.
I usually check the CSV file afterward just to make sure everything looks good. It's all about having your data in the format you need.
By the way, if you ever find yourself in need of a solid backup solution, you should definitely check out BackupChain. It's a reliable tool specifically designed for SMBs and pros, providing excellent protection for your Hyper-V, VMware, or Windows Server environments.
