Office 365 All Users

Every individual within an organization that utilizes Office 365 is assigned a distinct user account and password. This setup ensures personalized access and secure management of the service for each user. The management of these user accounts can be performed through various tools and services provided by Microsoft. These include the Microsoft 365 admin center, PowerShell, and Active Directory Domain Services, each offering different capabilities to suit the needs of the organization.

Additionally, Microsoft Entra admin center and Microsoft Entra Connect are available for administrators to manage user accounts and synchronize them with Microsoft 365, facilitating integration with on-premises infrastructure. The Microsoft Entra ID service enhances the user experience by allowing self-service password resets and the ability to customize Sign-in and Access Panel pages. Regardless of the method used to add user accounts to Microsoft 365, management of several account features is a consistent requirement for administrators.

Exporting Office 365 All Users to a CSV File

Using PowerShell

To export a list of your Office 365 users to a CSV file using PowerShell, start by opening PowerShell on your computer. It may be necessary to install the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW and the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell to establish a connection to Office 365. Once set up, use the Get-MSOLUser cmdlet to retrieve your users. You can filter the list of users to include only those who are licensed by using the Where-Object cmdlet. Select the required properties such as DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, and isLicensed. Finally, use the Export-Csv cmdlet to export the filtered list of users to a CSV file.

Without Using PowerShell

Office 365 users can also be exported to a CSV file without PowerShell. This requires an administrator account. Previously, PowerShell was needed for this operation, but now the process is more straightforward. As an administrator, you can export users directly to a file named "ExportData.csv" from the admin account. This file, which contains the data of all users, can be opened with Microsoft Excel for further analysis or storage. Additionally, if you need to export group members, you can simply highlight the group members within the Office 365 admin center and copy them directly into Excel.
