=====Get-ADUser -Filter not working inside foreach=====
When used inside a foreach loop the following Get-ADUser with filter syntax does not work:
<code powershell>
Get-ADUser -Filter { SamAccountName -eq "$strAccountName" }
</code>
Use the following syntax instead:
<code powershell>
Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -eq '$strAccountName'"
</code>

<code>
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter {(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=65536)}
</code>

Get accounts with password never expires OFF:
<code>
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter {(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=65536))}

<code>
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter {(&(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=65536)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(!CN=Guest))} | Select-Object Name
</code>

Set password never expires to OFF for all disabled accounts that currently have it on (excluding the Guest account):
<code>
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter {(&(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=65536)(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(!CN=Guest))} | Set-ADUser -PasswordNeverExpires $false
</code>

Get list of users with lastlogon and lastlogontimestamp:
<code powershell>
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties lastLogon,lastLogonTimeStamp | `
Select-Object Name,UserPrincipalName,
