Add -whatif to the end of your script. Am I sure I want to make this change to all those users/files/mailboxes? Add -confirm to the script and it will prompt for each item it is making a change on.

What is Get-ADUserLastLogon? Courtesy of Continue reading PowerShell for Active Directory I’ve been tinkering with my profile for a little while and think I have it to a point worth archiving. Almost nothing here is my own scripting, just finding thing other people have done and maybe modifying it a bit.
