    Please forgive my lack of PowerShell prowess - I am having trouble filtering my results with the Where-object command.

    Get-ADUser -Filter {company -ne 'ABC' -and extensionAttribute4 -eq 'DEF'} -SearchBase "OU=Users,OU=Marketing,DC=GHI,DC=com" 
    -Properties SamAccountName,distinguishedName,sn,givenName,LastLogonDate,whenCreated,PasswordLastSet,Enabled | 
    Select SamAccountName,distinguishedName,sn,givenName,LastLogonDate,whenCreated,PasswordLastSet,Enabled |
    Export-Csv ".\Export.csv" –NoTypeInformation -encoding UTF8

    The above works OK, but I cannot figure out how to only export results to CSV where whenCreated and PasswordLastSet both match. I am only interested in those results.

    I have been (unsuccesully) experimenting with the below:

    Where-Object whenCreated -eq PasswordLastSet

    Please help!

    Properties = 'SamAccountName','distinguishedName','sn','givenName','LastLogonDate','whenCreated','PasswordLastSet','Enabled'
}
Get-ADUser @splat |
    Where-Object{$_.WhenCreated -eq $_.PassWordLastSet} |
    Select-Object $splat.properties |
    Export-Csv .\Export.csv –NoTypeInformation -encoding UTF8

Where-Object {$_.WhenCreated -eq $_.PasswordLastSet} |
Export-Csv ".\Export.csv" –NoTypeInformation -encoding UTF8

    For syntax and examples, consult full MS documentation or the cmdlet's page on SS64.

    $_ stands for $PSItem you may also want to read up on.

    Guys, thank you so much for your help. Although I'm sure both examples work, I went with jrv's suggestion as it much clearer to read compared with the original code.

    Just one thing to add and after doing a bit more research, I needed to append .DateTime to the attributes:

    Where-Object{$_.WhenCreated.DateTime -eq $_.PasswordLastSet.DateTime}

    Otherwise the CSV output only contained ï»¿ in cell A1.
