    I need a script that will query all active users in a 2008r2 active directory environment and check whether or not a roaming profile was configured.  I am a newbie when it comes to scripting so if there is anyone that can assist, I would appreicate it.

    Thank You,

    Here is a version that retrieves all users and outputs the sAMAccountName and either True (if the profilePath starts with "\\" indicating a unc path) or False (if profilePath has no value is a local path). This is one line:

    Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties profilePath | Select sAMAccountName, @{Name="Roaming Profile"; Expression={$_.profilePath -Like "`\`\*"}}

    Retrieve all users that have a value assigned to the profilePath attribute. For example:

    Get-ADUser -filter {profilePath -Like "*"} -Properties profilePath

    Thank you, but being a newbie does {profilePath -Like "*"} mean I have to enter what the users profile path is?

    No, the filter retrieves all users that have any value assigned to the profilePath attribute. The "*" is the wildcard character. To retrieve all users with no value assigned, use {profilePath -NotLike "*"}.

    Great! That worked!  One last question, how would I pipe that output to an excel file formatted?
