if( $args.Length -eq 0) {
write-host “Usage : Missing ”
exit
}

$MissMatchCount = 0
$NoProfile = 0;
$NoPrefferedName = 0
$TotalUser = 0
$Matched = 0
$Fixed = 0

write-host “Intializing…”
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($args[0]);
$ServiceContext = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPServiceContext]::GetContext($site);
$ProfileManager = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServiceContext);

write-host “Checking -> AccountName: ” $siteUser.LoginName ” ID:” $siteUser.ID

catch

write-host “Unable to get profile for user” $siteUser.LoginName -foregroundcolor red
$NoProfile++

Write-host “————-”
continue;
}

$AccountName= $profile[[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PropertyConstants]::AccountName].Value
$PreferredName = $profile[[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PropertyConstants]::PreferredName].Value

write-host “Profile Data -> Account: ” $AccountName ” DisplayName:” $siteUser.DisplayName ” PrefferedName:” $PreferredName

if( $accountName -ne $siteUser.LoginName)
{
write-host “Account MissMatch -> LoginName: ” $siteUser.LoginName ” Profile Account:” $AccountName -foregroundcolor red
}

if( $PreferredName -ne “NONE” )

write-host “MissMatch :” $siteUser.LoginName ” DisplayName:” $siteUser.DisplayName ” PrefferedName:” $PreferredName -foregroundcolor yellow
$MissMatchCount++

#Set-SPUser -identity $siteUser.LoginName -Displayname $PreferredName -web $args[0]
#$Fixed++
}
else
{
Write-host “OK”
$Matched++
}
}
else
{
$NoPrefferedName++
}
Write-host “————-”
$TotalUser++
}

Write-host “Results”
write-host “Total User : ” $TotalUser
write-host “Total Matched User Count : ” $Matched
write-host “Total Fixed User Count : ” $Fixed
Write-host “Total Missmatch User Count : ” $MissMatchCount
Write-host “Total Missing Profile User Count : ” $NoProfile
write-host “Total Empty Preffered Name user Count : ” $NoPrefferedName

For fixing option just activate the line by deleting “#” charecter.

#Set-SPUser -identity $siteUser.LoginName -Displayname $PreferredName -web $args[0]
#$Fixed++

Usage is simple:
Save the script in your drive as ps1 file.

C:\> .\syncuser.ps1 <SiteUrl>
Exp
C:\> .\syncuser.ps1 http://blog.bugrapostaci.com

PS: To get output in a text file is a little tricky but you can do it like this.
Start a Command Prompt ( Not Powershell! )
Type following command
C:\> powershell .\syncuser.ps1 http://blog.bugrapostaci.com > .\results.txt
