Exclude from powershell script

Question

I am thinking of excluding council members from the script below, meaning excluding the "Department" = Council Members , may you please assist me on how I can update the following script to achieve this:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

Update Staff extensionAttribute15 in BFN VC

$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=....,OU=....,DC=....,DC=....,DC=...."
foreach($User in $Users)
{
# Set extensionAttribute15 for Staff
$User.extensionAttribute15 = "Staff"
# Update AD account
Set-ADUser -Instance $User
}

The goal is to exclude the Department called "Council Members" from the above script.

Hi,

You can filter out the users like below.

$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter "Department -ne 'Council Members'"  -SearchBase "OU=VC,OU=bfn,DC=cut,DC=ac,DC=za"
