Get-DhcpServerv4Lease -ScopeId 10.40.0.0 | Where-Object ClientId -Contains "0"
Why it return 0 values? I have hundres of Mac Addresses which contain zero "0", no matter if I press "[asterisk]0[asterisk]" or anything else, contain return null output.
I don't understand even though I've read so many examples...
How to search through results?

Could you please try -match instead of -contains and see if this will work.
