Export Active Directory User details to Excel using PowerShell

So I thought of putting simple 1 liner scripts together as per my knowledge.

Here we will try to get a report on some specific user details from AD. I am using Windows Server 2012 for the purpose of this demonstration and its going to very brief from very basics. Continue reading →
