You could put it in a foreach command in a script, that way you can see the
output of the command. But I would filter out the other criteria that you do
not need with something like this Get-ADUser -Filter * | select
UserPrincipalName that will return only
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Or what I have
outlined below works better (in my opinion).
A foreach command would look something like this. There's no error checking and
you may have to tweak it because I didn't test it but the idea should work;
$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter *
$PrincipalName = $Users.UserPrincipalName
foreach ($a in $PrincipalName)
{
$UserPath = "C:\Root_Path\$a"
New-Item -Type Directory -Path $UserPath
}
If you want just the username such as user123 and not
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> change this part.
$PrincipalName = $Users.Name
Or
$PrincipalName = $Users.SamAccountName
Both of those will return just user123 without the @somedomain.com.

Hi,
I have a new server that I want to populate a drive with folders for each user.
I can do a Get-ADUser -Filter * | fl UserPrincipalName which gives me the
names, but I'm unsure of how to pipe the next part to create the folders.
So ideally, I'd like the folder called the username, so for me rather that it
being [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, it's just gavinw.
Permissions Ill worry about later. The drive/ partition for the directories
already exists.
