PowerShell Syntax Issues
It is because you use the -Filter parameter from Get-ADUser, which uses PowerShell Expression Language Syntax. This can cause some quirky behavior because the syntax is very strict. An interesting discussion on the topic can be found here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-powershell-docs/issues/180

Beginner Trying To Use PowerShell IISAdministration Module
What I'm having the most problem with is knowing where to get information. I am a moderately experienced .NET developer (Framework and Core) used to digging through Microsoft docs to figure out how to do the thing I need to accomplish. I just can't seem to find the info I need. I looked up the cmdlet reference for IISAdministration and found a far smaller set of cmdlets than WebAdministration supported. This GitHub issue tells me that Microsoft seems to have no interest in adding specific cmdlets for many tasks, preferring instead to have us interact with the ServerManager object directly. So, I pull up the docs for Get-IISServerManager which tells me how I can get an active Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager object. However, there is nothing here to tell me what I can actually do to work with this object that I can find - no API, no properties, just a pitiful three examples on getting the manager, listing sites, and recycling an app pool. Five of the eight recommended articles are for WebAdministration, the module they seem to be deprecating. If I search ServerManager from the list, I find an object that has cmdlets that deal only with Windows Features and remoting. If I Google for IISAdministration info, I find lots of articles on basic site setup but not what I need, such as setting custom headers for a site. I was able to find this site which talks about web configuration but it has no documentation or examples for PowerShell. I found this page that tries to direct users to a snap-in that has been deprecated. I found this page that points users at a link for the IIS Administration API that is defunct.

Can't seem to pull users (password set never to expire) from multiple OU's within powershell.
Hey I know this is somewhat irrelevant to your question, but the -Filter parameter does not take a scriptblock, it actually take a string. You can refer here for more information.

How to combine Get-ADUser filters with 'enabled -eq $true'

If get-aduser contains Proxy Address then write to CSV else
Yeah, that's not going to work because Get-ADUser's filter parameter isn't a true script block.

A colleague deleted 10k+ devices from Azure AD when I was on vacation
On the other hand, the -Filter property on the ActiveDirectory module pretends that it's a script block, but it's actually a string. It also pretends that it's Powershell syntax, but there's dozens of caveats where they work totally differently. And if you hit one of these oddball corner cases, you can easily end up with a -Filter parameter that's always true.
- Get -ADObject filter syntax correct?

I followed docs, but not specs and from a few postings, the documentation seems to be wrong then: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-powershell-docs/issues/180

MDT replacement - best tool for OSD?
We have MDT and SCCM from Microsoft and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I still use MDT to create and deploy images with Windows 10 and 11 as well as SCCM. ADK for Windows 11 21H1 still works perfectly fine for both OS's in MDT. You just have to take a couple extra steps for Windows 11 captures. Windows 11 isn't radically different from Windows 10, and it's "unsupported" because there's no active development in MDT. The community is kind of taking up that support with PSD. At the end of the day it still deploys the same. And you can work around any issues with a google search. Also, keep an eye out for known issues and workarounds. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/memdocs/blob/main/memdocs/configmgr/mdt/known-issues.md

Moving from MDT to SCCM/MECM?
The organisation I work for has been using MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) to deploy Windows 10 and our applications (Office, Adobe etc) to our PCs quite successfully for several years now. We had also been expecting to use it to deploy Windows 11 (we'd tested it with an earlier Windows 11 ADK and it seemed to work), but just today I came across this bombshell:
