How to Export Office 365 Active User List to CSV

Using Microsoft 365 Admin Center

To export the list of active users from Office 365 using the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Navigate to Users > Active Users. Click on the Export Users icon to download the list, excluding guest users. This export can be opened in CSV format for further use.

Using Microsoft Entra Admin Center

Another method to export users includes using the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. Log in to the Microsoft Entra Admin Center and go to Users > All Users. From here, you can download a full list that includes guest users.

Using PowerShell

To export a list of Office 365 users to CSV using PowerShell, begin by installing the necessary components: the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant for IT Professionals RTW and the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell. Connect to Office 365 using the Connect-MSOLService cmdlet and sign in with an Office 365 Administrator account.

To export licensed users, execute the following command:

Get-MSOLUser | Where-Object {$_.isLicensed -eq "True"} | Select-Object DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, isLicensed | Export-Csv C:\Temp\LicensedUsers.csv

This will create a CSV file of licensed users that can be opened in Excel.

Using Microsoft Graph PowerShell

For an alternative method, use Microsoft Graph PowerShell to get all Azure AD users, including guest users. First, connect to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module. Then use the Get-MgUser cmdlet to retrieve the list of users with additional details like User Id, Display Name, and UPN. Export the results to CSV for further analysis.

AdminDroid Report Export Feature

AdminDroid also provides a report export feature, allowing you to tailor and save reports in various formats. This can be done by choosing from different export options within the AdminDroid interface, tailored to your reporting needs.
