PowerShell Get-Content Cmdlet from Text File

Question

_{Wednesday, March 27, 2013 12:50 PM}

I have a series of text files with about 200 usernames per text file.  What I'd like to do is execute a simple command from PowerShell to reference the usernames in "TextFile1.txt", grab the DisplayName for those usernames from AD, and export that data to CSV.  Is that possible?  If so, can someone provide an example?

Get-Content C:\TextFile1.txt | Get-ADUser -Identity $_ -Properties DisplayName | Select-Object DisplayName | Export-CSV C:\somefile.csv -NoTypeInformation

Something like that should do

This looks to have done the trick.

Get-Content C:\TextFile.txt | Get-User | Select DisplayName | Export-Csv C:\TextFileDisplayNames.csv -NoTypeInformation

For the series of text files...if they are under one folder....

$files = Get-ChildItem "c:\direcotory\

foreach ($file in $files) {
$users = Get-Content $file.fullname
    foreach($user in $users) {
   
   Get-ADUser -Identity $_ -Properties DisplayName | Select-Object DisplayName | Export-CSV C:\somefile.csv -NoTypeInformation
 
    }

}

Hope it helps
