PowerShell - finding users who are Inactive AND not disabled
I wrote this cmdlet:
Search-ADAccount -filter {(enabled -eq $true)} -Users Only -SearchBase "ou=FirstOU,dc=domain,dc=com" -AccountInactive -TimeSpan 30
But it outputs an error:
Search-ADAccount : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'fil
ter'.
At line:1 char:25
+ Search-ADAccount -filter <<<< {(enabled -eq $true)} -UsersOnly -SearchBase "
ou=FirstOU,dc=domain,dc=com" -AccountInactive -TimeSpan 30
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Search-ADAccount], Paramet
erBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory
.Management.Commands.SearchADAccountCmdlet
Could someone please help?
Solution 1:
Filter it the other way?:
Search-ADAccount -UsersOnly -AccountInactive -TimeSpan 30.00:00:00 |where {$_.enabled}
Solution 2:
The Search-ADAccount
does not accept a parameter -Filter
. Please see the Technet docs or Get-Help Search-ADAccount
for a list of supported parameters.
You can pipe the results of the search to Where-Object
to get only enabled users:
Search-ADAccount -UsersOnly -SearchBase "ou=FirstOU,dc=domain,dc=com" -AccountInactive -TimeSpan 30 |
Where-Object { $_.Enabled -eq $true }
