Get-ADUser and Filter on Multiple Attributes?

hi all,

i have following script , able filter several different attributes shown below.  problem is, there's wrong way have set , cannot figure out...i'm hoping can.

i think multiple "or" statements incorrect, i've tried "and" statements well.  thank can offer!

$aduser = get-aduser -filter { (employeetype -notlike "contracto*") -or (title -notlike "pharm*" ) -or (samaccountname -notlike "*train*") -or (samaccountname -notlike "*micro*") -or (samaccountname -notlike "pt*") } -properties * -searchbase "ou=bogusou,dc=bogus,dc=bogus,dc=bogusnet"
$mycol = @()
foreach ($user in $aduser)
{
$myusers = new-object system.object
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name samaccountname -value $user.samaccountname
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name displayname -value $user.displayname
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name department -value $user.department
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name city -value $user.l
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name telephonenumber -value $user.telephonenumber
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name managerempid -value $user.info
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name unt -value $user.physicaldeliveryofficename
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name divandorg -value (($user.division) + "." + ($user.businesscategory))
$myusers | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name emailaddress -value $user.mail
$mycol += $myusers
$mycol | export-csv c:\output.csv -notypeinformation
}

thank time,

mr mister

you should describe obtaining opposed expecting.  otherwise left out guess want.

so here's guess:

1. the export-csv cmdlet needs go outside foreeach block.  otherwise you'll re-writing file after each iteration.  waste of computer cycles , hard drive moving parts.  just export once, when array complete.
2. are sure -filter parameter of get-aduser accepts powershell expressions?  for example, wmi objects accepting filters require filter in wql language.  maybe need use ldap filtering syntax here in form of string.
