$MailboxAlias = "DCH*"
$ArrMailbox = @(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox -filter 'samaccountname -like "DCH*"' --> $ArrMailbox = @(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox -filter 'samaccountname -like "$Mailboxalias"'

Include Variable AND a "*"  into a query.

for ex :
$MailboxAlias = "DCH"
$ArrMailbox = @(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox -filter 'samaccountname -like "DCH*"' --> $ArrMailbox = @(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails SharedMailbox -filter 'samaccountname -like "$Mailboxalias*"'

How to achieve this cause -like "$Mailboxalias*"' does not do  -like "DCH*"' ?
