Exclude list of users from get-aduser cmdlet

hello,

i need put exclusion input data

lets say, don't want list "test01, test02, test03" users.

i can write like

get-aduser -filter * |?{$_.name -ne "test01" -and $_.name -ne "test02" ..}

im sure there more candy-like way accomplish this.

something like
$exclude = @('test01','test02')
get-aduser -filter * |?{$_.name -notmach $exclude}

propably find answer myself soon, im in hurry , need it to resolve fast..

looks can use -notcontains, tried following test

$users = @("user1","test01","test02","anotheruser") $excludeusers = @("test01","test02")  $users | {$excludeusers -notcontains $_}

the results after user1 , anotheruser, possibly work you

$excludedusers = @('test01', 'test02')  get-aduser -filter * | { $excludedusers -notcontains $_.samaccountname }
