selecting from a list of results

Question

I am retrieving the last logged on user using the script below - whilst I can get a list of the accounts, I only need to retrieve those that contain the "domain" name, and not accounts from the "local server name".

$Users = Get-WmiObject Win32_LoggedOnUser -ComputerName $ADComputer |
         Select Antecedent -Unique

\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_Account.Domain="LocalServer",Name="SYSTEM"
\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_Account.Domain="LocalServer",Name="NETWORK SERVICE"  
\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_Account.Domain="Domain",Name="user1"

So I am only expecting it to return

\\.\root\cimv2:Win32_Account.Domain="Domain",Name="user1"

I have tried the following:

$Users | Select $_.Antecedent | Where {$_.Antecedent.name -like "user1"}

But this returns blank. How can I select this line only? In addition, I want to ultimately return "user1" in my results.

try something like this

  Get-WmiObject Win32_LoggedOnUser -ComputerName $ADComputer  | where { ($_.Antecedent -split "=")[2] -like "*user1*" } |  select @{N="Name";ex={($_.Antecedent -split "=")[2]}}

That's great, but it returns the result twice? – TOGEEK Oct 21 '16 at 10:24
