Consolidating Data For Report: Getting from Group-Object to CSV

Posted on February 4, 2017 by Alan

I am working on some scripts which show AD domain controllers by their site.  My goal was to have the data combined so that  each site has a single row, with the server name and IP address for each site being shown joined by semi-colons.


 

 

 

 

 

None of the examples for doing this worked for me. But this did:

#Create Example data
$data =@"
Site,IP,Server
Site1,192.168.1.1,Server1a
Site1,192.168.1.2,Server1b
Site1,192.168.1.3,Server1c
Site2,192.168.2.1,Server2a
Site2,192.168.2.2,Server2b
Site2,192.168.2.3,Server2c
Site3,192.168.3.1,Server3a
Site3,192.168.3.2,Server3b
Site3,192.168.3.3,Server3c
"@ 
#Convert it to CSV
$CSVData = $data | ConvertFrom-Csv

#Group and combine for export
($csvdata | Group-Object -Property site -AsHashTable).GetEnumerator() |
foreach {
    [pscustomobject]@{
    Site = $_.name
    Servers = $_.Value.server -join ";"
    IPs = $_.Value.ip -join ";"
    }
} | sort site | 
Export-Csv "$env:USERPROFILE\desktop\consolidated.csv" -NoTypeInformation
