Create LDIF files for importing into AD (or other LDAP server)

$path = "c:\ldif\$(get-date -Format M.d.yyyy@h.m).ldif"           
New-Item -Path $path -ItemType File -Force 
 
$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq "True" -and  msExchAssistantName -like "*"} -Properties DistinguishedName,GivenName,Surname,mail,proxyAddresses,msExchAssistantName 
ForEach ($User In $Users) 
{ 
    
    $AN = $User.msExchAssistantName 
    $Admin = Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -eq $an} -Properties Name,mail 
    $DG = $Admin.mail 
    $PA= $null 
    $DN = $User.DistinguishedName 
    $GN = $User.GivenName 
    $SN = $User.Surname 
    $Mail = $User.mail 
    $Name = $User.sAMAccountname 
    $Addresses = $User.proxyAddresses 
          
     
$value = @" 
 
dn: $DN 
changetype: add 
sn: $SN 
givenName: $GN 
owner: $DG 
mail: $Mail 
"@           
Add-Content -Value $value -Path $path 
    ForEach ($Address In $Addresses) 
    { 
        If ($Address -cmatch "smtp:" -and $Address -notmatch "lj.gnf.org") 
        { 
            $PA = $Address 
            $value2 = @" 
proxyAddresses: $PA 
"@           
             
            Add-Content -Value $value2 -Path $path  
        } 
    } 
 
}

I needed to create an LDIF file to import into a LINUX LDAP server that is part of the mail system. Two things are interesting here:

1. Cleaning up proxyAddress to only include secondary smtp addresses (email alias)

2. Finding the email-address for the administrative assistant defined in Exchange. (owner field needed for delegation)
