Here I go with another post on PowerShell. This time, I would like to share a PowerShell command that will help you to export list of users of particular AD (Active Directory) group to a CSV file. Run PowerShell and type following commands: # This will import ActiveDirectory module Import-Module ActiveDirectory # This command will export list of users from GroupName to a CSV file Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "GroupName" -server "TestDomain" -recursive | get-aduser -Properties mail | select name , samaccountname | export-csv -path c:\Script\report.csv -NoTypeInformation In above command, replace GroupName with the Group you want to retrieve members list. Type your domain name in place of TestDomain . Once you run above command, it will create a CSV file “ Report.CSV ” and save it in C:\Script folder. I hope you find this post very useful.

Hi All, I know it’s been a long a time since I have written an article. Today I came across a question where user wanted to change his/her password while they are connected to a Server remotely via Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. Generally, you press CTRL+ALT+Del , you get  the following choices that includes Change a password… option. This works perfectly fine if you are logged in locally and wants to change password. But if you are logged on to PC remotely using Remote Desktop  connection and press CTRL+ALT+DEL from keyboard, it will apply command to your local PC instead of remote PC. There are two ways to change password using Remote Desktop connections.      Press CTRL+ALT+ END from your keyboard while you are logged in to Remote PC. You should get following options:     Alternatively, press Win +R key in your Remote desktop connection. Type OSK to launch OnScreen Keyboard. Press CTL+ALT from your keyboard and use mouse pointer to click on DEL but
