Hello - I need some help with some commands I am putting together. I am going to be getting a list of users that need to be migrated to a 2007 org. I first want to verify that the users in the list have a set of matching attributes. Specifically, DisplayName and CustomAtrribute2 are going to match exactly. This will indicate the account is indeed ready to be migrated. I tried setting up a foreach loop to go through the file's list of names, and then running a Get-Mailbox. I am having trouble adding a where statement that will allow me to specify something like where Displayname -eq CustomAttribute2 This is an example of what I have run so far: First I get the content of the file with a $list = Get-Content C:\filname.txt then I run the Foreach loop: Foreach ($i in $list) {get-mailbox $i | fl displayname,customattribute2} | where {"displayname" -eq "customattribute2"} Does anyone have any suggestions? I am kind of learning this as I go in a test environment but have been spinning my wheels for a bit. When I pipe to the where, I get an error saying "An empty pipe element is not allowed" Everything works fine right up until the "where" Thanks

Looks like you've got most of the right bits there, they just need to be arranged a little differently. $list = Get-Content C:\filname.txt Foreach ($i in $list) { get-mailbox $i | select displayname,customattribute2 | where {$_.displayname -eq $_.customattribute2} | ft } [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

Thanks that worked brilliantly. Funny I had tried something very close to that just messing around yesterday without the select. Reminds me a lot of SQL. I have gotten used to using Format-List to get my attributes and what I needed was to select the attributes. Excellent thanks so much for the quick response. Lesson learned, this will help me along greatly. Ray
