Get-Aduser -Filter will not accept a variable

Question

I\'d like to check if a user account already exists in the system.

$SamAc = Read-Host \'What is your username?\'
$User = Get-ADUser -Filter {sAMAccountName -         


        

Answer 1

if (($ADUser = Get-ADUser -filter "SamAccountName -eq '$(Read-Host Username)'") -ne $null) {$ADUser.SamAccountName} else {"Not Found"}
