Get Distribution List muliple Owners in exchange

i need a power shell cmd or script which will give me the list of all the Distributions list along with the OWNERS of that like managed by.

But , if there are multiple users inside managedby attribute then I am getting System.Object[].

My question are :

1- how can we get multiple users for managedby attribute ?

2- how can we add employeeid and samaccountname for managedby users ?

3 - if there is no managed by user then it display "NO MANAGED BY USER"

4- I want to get mail groups not hidden.

script :

$DGroups=Get-DistributionGroup -resultsize unlimited
$mastertable=@()
ForEach($Group in $DGroups){
    $table=[pscustomobject][ordered]@{
                                Name = $group.name
                                "Managed By" = $group.managedby.name
                                "DistinguishedName" = $group.DistinguishedName
                                

                                    }
$Mastertable += $table

}


$Mastertable |  export-csv C:\tmp\managedby.csv -NoTypeInformation

My output :

"Name","Managed By","DistinguishedName"
"IT research","System.Object[]","CN=IT research,OU=TEST,DC=contoso,DC=com"
"Test Mail Group 1","User01","CN=\Test Mail Group 1,OU=Test,OU=COMPANY,DC=contoso,DC=com"
"Test Mail Group 2",,"CN=\Test Mail Group 2,OU=Test,OU=COMPANY,DC=contoso,DC=com"

My desired output :

"Name","Managed By","DistinguishedName","OWNERSAMACCOUNTNAME","OWNEREMPLOYEEID"
"IT research","User01;User02","CN=IT research,OU=TEST,DC=contoso,DC=com","tst124;tst125","242333;344232"
"Test Mail Group 1","User01","CN=\Test Mail Group 1,OU=Test,OU=COMPANY,DC=contoso,DC=com","tst124","242333"
"Test Mail Group 2","NO MANAGED BY USER","CN=\Test Mail Group 2,OU=Test,OU=COMPANY,DC=contoso,DC=com"

LAST UPDATE :

It is my understanding the ManagedBy attribute stores the DistinguishedName(s) of one or more users (or none at all).

I haven't tested this myself, but you could try:

$DGroups     = Get-DistributionGroup -ResultSize Unlimited
$mastertable = foreach($group in $DGroups) {
    # initialize a PsCustomObject
    $data = [PsCustomObject]@{
        Name                = $group.Name
        DistinguishedName   = $group.DistinguishedName
        ManagedBy           = 'NOT MANAGED'
        OwnerSamAccountName = $null
        OwnerEmployeeId     = $null
    }

    if ($group.ManagedBy) {
        $managedBy                = $group.ManagedBy | ForEach-Object { Get-ADUser -Identity $_.DistinguishedName -Properties EmployeeId }
        $data.ManagedBy           = $managedBy.Name -join ';'
        $data.OwnerSamAccountName = $managedBy.SamAccountName -join ';'
        $data.OwnerEmployeeId     = $managedBy.EmployeeId -join ';'
    }
    # output this data to be collected in $mastertable
    $data
}


$mastertable |  Export-Csv 'C:\tmp\managedby.csv' -NoTypeInformation
