    What?  What is a "fuzzy" search? 

    You can search for each name but there is really no good way to search for a list.

    Start by searching for each item in your list  build a list of iitems found.

    i know it is not good way to serch for each one whitout powershell.

    so i wirte :   Import-Csv test.csv | %{Get-ADComputer $_.name -Properti
    es *} | Select-object name  | Export-Csv computer.csv -NoTypeInformation
    -Encoding UTF8

    and i know some place need change or add, but i don't know how.

    And yes. You are doing this:

    Import-Csv test.csv | 
	ForEach-Object{
		Get-ADComputer $_.name 
	} | 
	Select-object name | 
        Export-Csv computer.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8

    What is the issue or error?
