the following script works great to email a table list of ALL users indicating the appropriate value of the customer fields specified. The challenge is the export includes EVERY user in our AD. Is there a way to limit it to only those users that have a value for ANY of the fields requested. IE if everything other than DisplayName were blank - don't include that record in the output table. Thank you!

Hello,

Sure, we've asked our script guys to have a look. We'll update this topic as soon as they come up with something.

Here's the portion of the script that skips a user if none of the properties are set:

    # Skip if none of the $propertyNames are set
    if (($resultPropertyCollection.Count -eq 0) -or (($resultPropertyCollection.Count -eq 1) -and ($resultPropertyCollection.Contains("DisplayName"))))
    {

Thank you, the reviewers have asked for one more change to the report. Use the Friendly Name as the column header versus the Active Directory field name. Thanks!
