Using "-Filter" with a variable
You don't need quotes around the variable, so simply change this:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -like '$nameregex' -and Enabled -eq "true"}into this:
Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -like $nameregex -and Enabled -eq "true"}Note, however, that the scriptblock notation for filter statements is misleading, because the statement is actually a string, so it's better to write it as such:
Get-ADComputer -Filter "name -like '$nameregex' -and Enabled -eq 'true'"And FTR: you're using wildcard matching here (operator -like), not regular expressions (operator -match).
Add double quote
$nameRegex = "chalmw-dm*"-like "$nameregex" or -like "'$nameregex'"
Try this:
$NameRegex = "chalmw-dm" $NameR = "$($NameRegex)*"Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -like $NameR -and Enabled -eq $True}
