My experiences and thoughts on [mostly] technology.
This is another PowerShell script one of my coworkers came up with; it creates dynamic distribution lists. It can be handy to create distribution lists in AD based on location, for example, instead of manually managing a distribution list.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "123 Building" -RecipientFilter {(RecipientTypeDetails -eq 'UserMailbox') -and (StreetAddress -like "*123 Building*") -and (UserAccountControl -ne 'AccountDisabled, NormalAccount'))}

Today I was handed a CSV list of AD users and asked to return the list with an “Enabled” column to represent wether a user was enabled or disabled in Active Directory. I used PowerShell to quickly whip this up. For future reference, here is the PowerShell that will take a CSV with a “User” column (that contains the user account name) and generates another CSV with the AD properties desired (in this case enabled, sam account name, and email address).
Import-CSV -Path .\mailbox_access_list.csv | ForEach-Object {
Get-ADUser ($_.User) -Properties Enabled,EmailAddress,SamAccountName | select Enabled,EmailAddress,SamAccountName
} | Export-CSV .\results.csv -NoTypeInformation

Also, for those times when you quickly need to get users in a AD group using PowerShell…
Get-ADGroupMember [AD Group Name] | select {"[Domain Name]\" + $_.samAccountName}

Getting emails from a group:
Get-ADGroupMember [AD Group Name] | ForEach-Object {
Get-ADUser ($_.samAccountName) -Properties EmailAddress | select EmailAddress
}
