Powershell script assistance

Hi there.
You're using the wrong module and command for two reasons:
- The AzureAD/AzureADPreview modules are deprecated and don't have a particularly long lifespan left. You want to move to the Microsoft.Graph.* modules instead;
- The Get-AzureADUser does not expose the lastSignInDateTime attribute, as noted in the official Microsoft literature below:
How to manage inactive user accounts - Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Learn
At a minimum, the two modules you will need to install are:
- Microsoft.Graph.Authentication;
- Microsoft.Graph.Uses.
Optionally, though I'd recommend it, you'll also want to install:
- Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Users
Once you have those installed, you'll want to make use of one or both of the following:
- Get-MgUser (Microsoft.Graph.Users) | Microsoft Learn
- Get-MgBetaUser (Microsoft.Graph.Beta.Users) | Microsoft Learn
The "beta" modules and commandlets are often referred to as they have a tendency to expose a lot more data than is available from the v1.0 endpoint, but it's entirely your call.
