I needed to send a list of open files from our file server to the helpdesk so they could contact the users that were still using the old systems. I wanted to give them something other than a screen shot so I went digging for a powershell script. I found this which uses openfile.exe but within powershell pipes the output to a nice grid view.
openfiles /Query /S 2K12R2 /FO CSV /V | ConvertFrom-Csv | Out-GridView

I took it and tweaked it to a file so the helpdesk could open it in excel
openfiles /Query /S Server /FO CSV /V | out-file c:\temp\files.csv
