PowerShell 7.3 - implementing Retrieving Azure AD User Attributes with Conditional Filters

PowerShell AzureAD Azure

I'm experimenting with I've been working on this all day and I'm having trouble retrieving specific user attributes from Azure Active Directory using PowerShell 7.3 with the `AzureAD` module. I want to filter users based on their "UserType" attribute and then select only specific properties like "DisplayName" and "Mail". However, when I apply the filter, it seems to return an empty array despite there being users that meet the criteria. Here's what I've tried so far: ```powershell # First, I connect to Azure AD Connect-AzureAD # Attempting to filter and select specific user attributes $filteredUsers = Get-AzureADUser -Filter "UserType eq 'Member'" | Select-Object DisplayName, Mail # Output the results $filteredUsers ``` When I run this code, `$filteredUsers` is empty, and I don’t get any behavior messages. I’ve also checked the Azure portal, and I can confirm that there are users with the UserType set as 'Member'. I've tried using different case variations in the filter as well with no luck. I also attempted to use `Where-Object` as an alternative: ```powershell $allUsers = Get-AzureADUser -All $true $filteredUsers = $allUsers | Where-Object { $_.UserType -eq 'Member' } | Select-Object DisplayName, Mail ``` This approach still results in an empty array. I have verified that the `Get-AzureADUser` command works without any filters, returning a list of users. Is there a potential scenario with the `UserType` property or the filtering syntax? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! This is my first time working with Powershell 3.11. Any ideas how to fix this? This issue appeared after updating to Powershell LTS.
