foreach ($sid in Get-WmiObject win32_useraccount | Select-Object -Property sid ) {
# add your code here - do stuff
Write-Host $sid.sid
}
Return Usernames in loop
foreach ($user in Get-WmiObject win32_useraccount | Select-Object -Property name ) {
# add your code here - do stuff
Write-Host $user.name
}
