Method invocation failed because does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'

Question

Hi!

I'm working on a script that is supposed to check a list of <g class="gr_ gr_22 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del" data-gr-id="22" id="22">email-addresses</g> to see if the users still exist or are active and I've run into some difficulties...

This is my script:

$Output = $null

$ImportFile = ".\AllCompanyAddresses.csv"
$ExportFile = ".\Results.csv"

$Adresses = Import-Csv $ImportFile -Delimiter ";"

foreach ($Address in $Adresses)
{
    $Enabled = $null
    $Type = $null
    
    try
    {
        Get-Recipient $Address.Email
    }
    catch
    {
        $Email = $Address.Email
        $Domain = $Address.Domain
        $Type = "None"
    }
    
    if ($Type -ne "None")
    {
        $Recipient = Get-Recipient $Address.Email
        
        $Email = $Address.Email
        $Domain = $Address.Domain
        $Type = $Recipient.RecipientTypeDetails
        
        if ($Type -eq "UserMailbox")
        {
            $User = Get-ADUser $Recipient.SamAccountName
            $Enabled = $User.Enabled
        }
    }
    
    $Output += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
        Email   = $Email
        Domain  = $Domain
        Type    = $Type
        Enabled = $Enabled
    }
}


$Output | Export-Csv -Path $ExportFile -Delimiter ";"

I keep getting the following error message:

Method invocation failed because [System.Management.Automation.PSObject] does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'.
At C:\temp\Test\Locate-Addresses.ps1:52 char:2
+     $Output += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (op_Addition:String) [], RuntimeException***
***    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound***

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

Best Regards,

This:

$Output =$null

Should be this:

$Output =@()
