    My fault.  Try this:

    foreach ($group in Get-DistributionGroup) {
    get-distributiongroupmember $group | 
     ft alias, @{label='Test1';expression={$group.name)}}
    }

    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

    The proble is that the current object in the calculated property refers to the group member and not to the group. Here's how you can do it:

     

    Hi,

    is it possible to get the name of the group in the table:

    Get-DistributionGroup | Foreach-Object{  
       $group = $_
       get-distributiongroupmember |select-object alias, @{name='Group';expression={$group.name}}

    }

    THX for your fast response!

    I still tested with foreach but did not get it. Also at your recommandation is one error..."unexpected token at get-distributiongroupmember"

    Get-DistributionGroup | Foreach-Object{ $group = $_ >>>> is here sth missing? <<<< get-distributiongroupmember |select-object alias, @{name='Group';expression={$group.name}}}

    Please can you check one more time?

    I usually approach that problem like this:

    foreach ($group in Get-DistributionGroup) {
    get-distributiongroupmember $group |
     {ft alias, @{label='Test1';expression={$group.name)}}
    }

    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

    Hi Christian,

    I'm just getting to grips with PowerShell, and have made some modifications to the script about, but I am having trouble exporting it to csv, it says the pipeline is empty when i append | export-csv at the end.

    foreach ($group in Get-DistributionGroup) { get-distributiongroupmember $group | ft @{expression={$_.displayname};Label="$group"}}

    Any suggestions would be most welcome!

    Thanks,

    Carl

    Hi Carl,

    Replace Format-Table with Select-Object. If you have additional questions, you should start your own thread rather than replying to an old thread.

    Thanks Mike, noted.

    I ended up using the Out-File Cmdlet. I couldn't get the Select-Object Cmdlet to return anything useful, I suspect because of the foreach Cmdlet.

    foreach ($group in Get-DistributionGroup) { get-distributiongroupmember $group | ft @{expression={$_.displayname};Label="$group"} | Out-File c:\temp\DistributionListMembers.txt -append}

    Cheers,

    Carl
