Exporting address list membership to a CSV file

When it comes to working with address lists, a common task is exporting the list of members to an external file. In this recipe, we'll take a look at the process of exporting the contents of an address list to a CSV file.

How to do it...

Let's start off with a simple example. The following commands will export the All Users address list to a CSV file:

$allusers = Get-AddressList "All Users"
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $allusers.RecipientFilter | 
  Select-Object DisplayName,Database | 
    Export-Csv -Path c:\allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation

When the command completes, a list of user display names and their associated mailbox databases will be exported to c:\allusers.csv.
