PowerShell 7.3 - Difficulty Filtering Active Directory Users with Specific Attributes
I've tried everything I can think of but I tried several approaches but none seem to work... I'm trying to filter Active Directory users based on specific attributes using PowerShell 7.3, but I am working with some unexpected behavior. I want to retrieve users who have a specific title and are located in a particular department. Here’s the code I’m using: ```powershell Import-Module ActiveDirectory $users = Get-ADUser -Filter { Title -eq 'Manager' -and Department -eq 'Sales' } -Properties Title, Department $filteredUsers = $users | Where-Object { $_.Title -eq 'Manager' -and $_.Department -eq 'Sales' } $filteredUsers ``` When I run this code, I end up with an empty array, and I am not sure why it's not returning any results. I've verified that there are indeed users with the title 'Manager' in the 'Sales' department. I also tried running the `Get-ADUser` command without the filter, and it listed users correctly, so it seems like the scenario lies within the filtering logic. I even tried simplifying the filter to just check the `Title` attribute: ```powershell $users = Get-ADUser -Filter { Title -eq 'Manager' } -Properties Title ``` This returns results as expected. However, when I attempt to add the `Department` filter back in, it fails again. I also tried using different operators like `-like` but that didn't change anything. Could there be an scenario with how the attributes are being accessed or the way I'm structuring the filter? Any help would be appreciated! I'm working on a REST API that needs to handle this. What would be the recommended way to handle this? The project is a mobile app built with Powershell. Thanks in advance! I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Powershell. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking?
