Thanks - bit what is the difference between Aaron's Powershell cmd and Tim's (copied and pasted from above?)
Get-Recipient | Select-Object Identity,Mail,ExchangeGuid | Export-Csv .recipientlist.csv
Get-Recipient | Select-Object Identity,Mail,ExchangeGuid | Export-Csv .recipientlist.csv
Also, how is the vertical symbol made? - Anonymous
