Exchange doesn't deal with "users", but with "recipients" - an object with an email address. Thus you cannot cover all users, only those with mailboxes or created as mail-enabled users. In addition, Exchange doesn't expose the employeeID attribute, so you cannot filter on that.

  Guests are actually valid recipients, you can exclude them via the recipienttype. Excluding based on (part of the) name/alias is also possible. This article lists (most of) the properties you can use for creating a filter for Dynamic DG: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/recipientfilter-properties?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=exchange-ps
