There is an easy way of detecting how to export AD users from Active Directory to a readable format.

Here’s an example of a report you will receive:
Run Netwrix Auditor → Click "Reports" → Navigate to Active Directory → "Active Directory State-in-Time" → Select "User accounts" → Click "View".
Netwrix Auditor is not just a product for internal IT audits, but a powerful platform for reporting to the higher management who checks our J-SOX compliance. I doubt that we would meet all the requirements without it. Such a high level of visibility assures us that all critical systems are secure and that we are in continuous compliance. Without Netwrix Auditor, we would need to hire at least two people to monitor the systems nonstop.
