No entry in department field and exclude 3 OU's

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to get a list of all my users who do not have entry in the department field, but exclude user account in 3 OU's (Ex Employees, MyTest and the Users container). This what I have come up with so far:
Get-ADUser -Filter {Department -notlike "*"} -Properties Name, Department, Office, OfficePhone, MobilePhone | ? { ($_.distinguishedname -notlike '*USERS*') -or ($_.distinguishedname -notlike '*Ex Employees*') -or ($_.distinguishedname -notlike '*My Test*') } | Format-Table -Property Name, Department, Office, OfficePhone, MobilePhone
When I run this I get all the account in these 3 OU's. Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Tony

Answer 1

Hi Tony,
Give this a try:
$ou1 = '*,OU=Conference Room Mailboxes,*'
$ou2 = '*,OU=Mail Enabled Users,*'
$ou3 = '*,OU=FTP Accounts,*'
Get-ADUser -Filter "Department -notlike '*'" -Properties Office,OfficePhone,MobilePhone |
Where { $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ou1 -and $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ou2 -and $_.DistinguishedName -notlike $ou3 } |
Sort Name | Select Name,Office,OfficePhone,MobilePhone
You'll need to adjust the $ouX variables to match your OU names. Also, I haven't added the Department property to the final select, as you're only returning users who don't have that property set anyway.
