Powershell: Sorting and display the most recent duplicate in a custom object (by username)

423 views Asked by At

I'm looking for some suggestions/tips on how to sort and display the most recent record in a custom object (by a username). Basically, I am in a situation where I have an ActiveSync report with multiple usernames showing up on the report but I only want the most recent user's device information like device version , last contact time, etc... (See below the custom object's fields)

I've tried the following code but I am not getting the results I am looking for.

  $ActiveSyncImport | Group-Object Identity| foreach-object { $_.group | sort-object LastSuccessSync | select -last 1}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The output I am trying to get is like the following:

    DeviceOS                               DeviceID

But, when I use my one-line of code I get the same results as my original ActiveSync Information not sorted or grouped.
