    Id like to export to html a list of all computers grouped by OU.

    This code sort of works

    $OUresults = @()
    $groupResults = @()
    $OUs = get-adorganizationalunit -filter * 
     foreach ($OU in $OUs)
    {
    $OUmember= Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase $OU -Properties *  |Select -ExpandProperty DNSHostName
    $properties = @{
     "OUName" = $OU
     "Computer" = $OUMember
     }
    $GroupResults += new-Object -TypeName PSCustomObject -property $properties
    $OUresults += $groupResults
    }
    $OUresults | select OUName,Computer

    But, the computers are listed in an array like this

    OUName                                 Computer
    OU=Domain Controllers         {DC1,DC2,DC3}
    OU=Servers                            {server1,server2,server3}

    Id like output to be more like

    OU=DomainContollers
    DC1
    DC2
    DC3

    OU=Servers
    Server1
    Server2
    Server3

    Any help appreciated!

    Here is how to do this in PowerShell:

    Get-AdOrganizationalUnit -filter * |
    ForEach-Object{
        $ou = $_.DistinguishedName
        Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase $ou  |
            ForEach-Object{
                [pscustomobject]@{
                  OUName = $ou
                  Computer = $_.Name
               }
            }
    } #| 
    #Select-Object OUName,Computer

    This is  why you should take time to learn PwoerShell instead of copying useless code from the Internet or trying to guess at the answer.

    That was a welcome.  I showed you where to get started.  I also warned against guesswork and copying code you do not understand.

    If you are not someone who knows how to do tutorials or doesn't like to learn then guessing will be slow and you will not learn correctly.  You can do that.  Their are no laws against that.  It is just very slow and painful.
