How to get multiple user mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid GUID in hexa format

So far I reached --($user has UPN values)

$u=foreach($u in $user)
{
Get-ADuser -Filter {mail -like $u} -Properties samaccountname,UserPrincipalName,mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid | select samaccountname,UserPrincipalName, @{N="mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid";E={$_.'mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid'}}

}

$u | epcsv .\User_guid.csv -NTI -Force

===================================

BUT i would like this guid in other formats including hex, done in same loop.

Also, i may be updating these users with ms-ds guid if the one retrieved does not meet in excel file?

Anyone have idea on this?

    Hello @Vivek Kumar Sharma . Add this to your select statement:

    @{N="mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid-ByteArray"; E={[String]::Join(",",($_.'mS-DS-ConsistencyGuid'|Out-String|Format-Hex).Bytes)}

    Regarding "Also, i may be updating these users with ms-ds guid if the one retrieved does not meet in excel file?". What do you mean?
