dear,
I need to search all user having the extensionattribute < than a date (2017-04-01) and > a date (2017-03-23). lets say the date 2017-04-01 and the 7 days before.

the date is stored as string in the extensionattribute11 on format YYYYMMDD
this is working but I'm not able to combine this with the check a a real date to be sure that I get the result I want.
 
get-aduser -Filter "extensionattribute11 -like '20170401'"

any help would be grateful
