Powershell AD User Export

I always love to try new things, so what I have written today is something I love to do; make my life easier and also use my experience to help my colleagues.

With the help of this script I have certainly done that 😉
You can off course change the script to whatever you want to. Sometimes you want to generate an export of an username and export it to a html, csv file or just display it on the screen.
