I run the following against my client's AD... It produces what appears to be CSV.

$members=Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "my ad group" -Recursive | % {Get-ADUser -Identity $_.distinguishedName -Properties * | ? {$_.enabled -eq $true} | select-object emailaddress}

$members

emailaddress
------------
john.bob@org.com
pete.smith@org.com

however, trying search in this variable does not work so well. The best I can do is this

$members -like "@{emailaddress=john.bob@org.com}"
@{emailaddress=john.bob@org.com}

But I would like to do this:

$members -like "john.bob@org.com"
john.bob@org.com

I would like the initial command to produce a simpler array, so that the last '-like' syntax works. How to do this?

Change `select-object emailaddress` to `Select-Object -ExpandProperty emailaddress` – Mathias R. Jessen Nov 01 '22 at 15:00
That worked. Thank you. Please post a formal answer, I will accept this. – Jepper Nov 01 '22 at 15:12
