I'm new to powershell and have to fetch users from AD based on a list with names. Is there any way to filter from AD using something similar to an in-statement in SQL? (select * from users where name in ('Joe','Bill)?
As for now I fetch users in a foreach loop and add them to an arraylist, but I don't know if this is good practice:
function GetUsers()
{
$dummydata = @('Bill','Joe','Sam')
$users = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList($null)
foreach($user in $dummydata)
{
$aduser = get-aduser -f {GivenName -eq $user} -Properties * | select *
$users.add($aduser) | Out-Null
}
Return ,$users
}
