Some time ago, someone asked me how to export user information from office 365. My answer was simple he could export the user details (technically, mailbox details) from the Exchange Admin Center (that ellipse icon on the toolbar), or use PowerShell.
While the GUI method is all easy and fine, it is quite a limited in functionality. The GUI will not let you export all the information you may want. For example, exporting proxy addresses, or exporting the guest accounts. In these scenarios, you'll need to use Windows PowerShell. The command you can use can look something like below -
# Export Office 365 use data (MSOLUSER)
# Connect to MSOL Service. You will be prompted to enter an office 365 admin username and password.
Connect-msolservice
# Get a list of ALL users
$MSOL_users = Get-msoluser -All | Select-Object DisplayName,FirstName,LastName,Password,PreferredLanguage,UsageLocation,UserPrincipalName,UserType, @{L = "ProxyAddresses"; E = { $_.ProxyAddresses -join ";"}}
# Export the results to a CSV file!
$MSOL_users | Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\MSOL_Users.csv -NoTypeInformation
Bingo! Yes, it is that simple.
If you have never used PowerShell to connect to Office 365, you'll need to do a one-time setup of configuring PowerShell to work with office 365. You can see the instructions here.
