    I have a question about running scripts with a CSV output. I am running the script below with | out-file c:\scripts\last logon\results.csv and after it runs I get a csv file with everything in one column. Is there a different syntax I should use for this?

    Thanks in advance.....

    # PSLimitedLastLogon.ps1

    # Specify file of computer NetBIOS names.
    $File = "c:\scripts\Last Logon\Computers.txt"

    $Domain = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()
    $Searcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
    $Searcher.PageSize = 200
    $Searcher.SearchScope = "subtree"
    $Searcher.SearchRoot = "LDAP://$Domain"

    $Searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sAMAccountName") > $Null
    $Searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("lastLogonTimeStamp") > $Null

    # Read computer names.
    $Computers = (Get-Content $File)

    # Filter on computers listed in file.
    $Filter = "(|"
    ForEach ($Computer In $Computers)
    {
      # sAMAccountName of computer is NetBIOS name with trailing "$" character.
      $Filter = $Filter + "(sAMAccountName=$Computer`$)"
    }
    $Filter = $Filter + ")"
    $Searcher.Filter = $Filter

    $Results = $Searcher.FindAll()
    ForEach ($Result In $Results)
    {
      $Name = $Result.Properties.Item("sAMAccountName")
      $LL = $Result.Properties.Item("lastLogonTimeStamp")
      If ($LL.Count -eq 0)
      {
        $Last = [DateTime]0
      }
      Else
      {
        $Last = [DateTime]$LL.Item(0)
      }
      If ($Last -eq 0)
      {
        $LastLogon = $Last.AddYears(1600)
      }
      Else
      {
        $LastLogon = $Last.AddYears(1600).ToLocalTime()
      }
      """$Name"",$LastLogon"
    }

    Please format your code as code using the code posting tool provided on the icon bar of the post editor (second to last icon). Thanks.

    If you want to have a CSV file you should use Export-Csv - it is made for. ;-)

    I have used similar syntax in the past and it worked fine for me. However, there should be no need to quote the sAMAccountName, as the comma character is not allowed. But dates have commas.
