ForEach-Object {Get-ADUser -Filter “EmployeeID -eq ‘$($\_.EID)’” -Properties Displayname, LastLogon, LastLogonDate, LastLogonTimeStamp, EmployeeID } |  
Select-Object DisplayName, SamAccountName, Enabled, LastLogon, LastLogonDate,

Viola! Example 11 did it. You have no idea how your feedback forces me to learn and get better at this. Thank you.
