Office 356: How to export list with licenses details and smtp details via PowerShell?

I know I am not the best coder but I always like to find the simplest coding way so it is easier for beginners to not feel frustrated.

I do find it confusing when you got an error in your exported csv file of the list.

*Note: This is basically only for attributes which contain more characters/words or more than a word (means there are “:” or “;” as a divider), such as the value in accountskuid attribute is {contoso:enterprisepackage}.

For example;

1. If you try to export a list of user from office 365, as a logical thinker you would probably type such code;
   

   Get-MsolUser -All | Select userprincipalname, proxyaddresses, licenses.accountskuid | Export-csv list.csv

However, this code will not get you what you want, instead it will give you the error.

The proper code should be:

Get-MsolUser -All | Select userprincipalname, {$_.proxyaddresses}, {$_.licenses.accountskuid} | export-csv list.csv

The “licenses.accountskuid” means a class named licenses in office 365 system, inside it has an attribute name, “accountskuid”. You have to do it this way to get/call/pull out the attribute you wish to be propagated in your csv file.

If you wish to test out my code whether it works, then it is best for you to replace “-All” with “-MaxResults”(Means display max result among the list of users).
Example;

#This will only display 1 user with license assigned

Get-MsolUser -MaxResults 1 | Select userprincipalname, {$_.proxyaddresses}, {$_.licenses.accountskuid} | where {$_.islicensed -eq $true} | export-csv list.csv

There are lots of ways to do so. You could use the fancy way that is using the “-expandproperty” or “-properties” and etc.
Coding is up to your comfortably and understandable.
