Hello,

I have a foreach statement that queries/reads AD users and prompts some questions while querying the AD. If there is a question that answers No, it will have to jump to the next user.

code:
$ad = Get-ADUser -filter * -Properties sAMAccountName,sn,givenName,department,title,telephoneNumber,employeeID,employeeNumber  -SearchBase "OU=ou,DC=domain,DC=com" | Select-Object  sAMAccountName,sn,givenName,department,title,telephoneNumber,employeeID,employeeNumber

foreach ($AD_User in $ad) {
      if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn)
      {
            #Write-Host "BINGO FOUND IT"
               #Ask Questions
              $RightWrong = Read-Host 'NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N)'

#I AM STUCK HERE...
if $RightWrong -eq "N" {

     #It needs to jump to the next AD user and Ask questions
}
}

Thanks for your help,

Hey Guru Subsun,

But will it not break the "for" statement ?

hmm, it did not move to the next AD user, it kept the same value or AD User found on the if statement.  
if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn) {....}

By the way this is all related to my previous questions, it is like a mini application but with poweshell.

I think you have to place the second IF statement outside the first one.. Try this..
foreach ($AD_User in $ad) {
      if ($file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn)
      {
      #Write-Host "BINGO FOUND IT"
      #Ask Questions
      $RightWrong = Read-Host 'NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N)'
      }
      if ($RightWrong -eq "N") {[void]$foreach.moveNext()}
}

Same thing,

Result:
======== FOUND THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEE IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY ========
LASTNAME: Silveira
FIRST NAME: Rodrigo
DEPARTMENT: Information Services
TITLE: Sr System/NetworkAdministrator
TELEPHONE NUMBER: 303-333-3333
EMPLOYEE ID:
EMPLOYEE NUMBER:
=================================================

NOTE: Is this the right Employee, You are working on? (Y/N): n

#The following comes after the following code:
#if ($RightWrong -eq "N") {
#                  #break
#                  [void]$foreach.moveNext()
#                  Write-Host "LASTNAME: $($AD_USER.sn)"
#                  Write-Host "FIRST NAME: $($AD_USER.givenName)"
                  
            }
#Same user as == FOUND THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYEE IN ACTIVE DIRECTORY ======== section

LASTNAME: Silveira
FIRST NAME: Rodrigo

NOTE: Is the EMPLOYEE Information FOUND In ACTIVE DIRECTORY CORRECT AGAINST The EMPLOYEE Information FOUND In the File? (Y/N): PS C:\scripts\AD>

BTB there will be only one user which match condition $file[0].sn -eq $AD_User.sn right? It yes.. Ideally the script should exit if you input "N". Please correct me if I am wrong in my assumption..

Correct. The result of that of IF is, 1, True.
But think about that can be more than one User with a lastname Silveira.

[void]$foreach.moveNext()
                 Write-Host "LASTNAME: $($AD_USER.sn)"
                  Write-Host "FIRST NAME: $($AD_USER.givenName)"
Write-Host here will not write the next user, if will just write the same user which is in pipeline..

It would be better if you can post the complete code..

Elseif here doesn’t make any sense to me..

You can try something like..
$adsearch = $ad | Where {$file[0].sn -eq $_.sn}
If ($adsearch -eq $null)
{Write-Host "USER DOES NOT EXIST"}
Else{"Start your script"}
