Get-ADUser is not using import text file

I'm using a text file generated from AD of disabled users names, e.g. jdoakes. I am using the following script to obtain the last time the user logged in. When ran, it is only returning non-disabled user. Any way to make this work?

Get-Content oldusers.txt |
  Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $true} -Properties Name,Manager,LastLogon |
  Select-Object Name, Manager,
    @{n='LastLogon';e={[DateTime]::FromFileTime($_.LastLogon)}}

It doesn't return any of the user names in the text file.

Solution

  • You can't use -Filter with -Identity (identity is the parameter you're binding to when you pipe). You'll have to filter after the fact:

    Get-Content oldusers.txt | 
    Get-ADUser -Properties Name,Manager,LastLogon | 
    Where-Object -FilterScript {
        $_.Enabled
    } | 
    Select-Object Name,Manager,@{n='LastLogon';e={[DateTime]::FromFileTime($_.LastLogon)}}
