Variable in a comparison filter

$
0
0

I am writing a small script that finds all computer objects in ad that have a certain OS. It all seems to run fine, but I get no results back. I have a sneaking suspision that my variable is not being called into the comparison filter. It that actually possible?

The script is as follows:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Write-Host ""
Write-Host ""
[int]$OSChoice = 0
while ( $OSChoice -lt 1 -or $OSChoice -gt 7 ){
Write-host "1. Windows XP"
Write-host "2. Windows Vista"
Write-host "3. Windows 7"
Write-host "4. Server 2003"
Write-host "5. Server 2008"
Write-host "6. Server 2012"
Write-host "7. Quit and exit"
[Int]$OSChoice = read-host "Please choose an operating system with 1 to 7..." }
Switch( $OSChoice ){
  1{$OS = "Windows XP"}
  2{$OS = "Windows Vista"}
  3{$OS = "Windows 7"}
  4{$OS = "Server 2003"}
  5{$OS = "Server 2008"}
  6{$OS = "Server 2012"}
  7{break}
  default{$OS = "Windows XP"}
  }
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "You chose the operating system: $OS"
Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -like "*$OS*"} -Properties Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemServicePack,OperatingSystemVersion | Format-Table Name,OperatingSystem,OperatingSystemServicePack,OperatingSystemVersion -Wrap -Auto
