Properties not supporting filters on GET method

Question

Hello Team,

I have worked on Microsoft Graph API (v 1.0) objects (Users, Administrative Units, Organization, Domains, Groups & Devices). For GET Method API call of Users, Administrative Units & Groups , I have come across errors message as "Request_UnsupportedQuery" on filters along some properties which were said as supported in properties description.

Here are the objects which didn't work along filters:

Administrative units: description
Property & Supported filters: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/administrativeunit?view=graph-rest-1.0

Users: companyName,employeeHireDate,employeeType,faxNumber,mobilePhone,officeLocation,postalCode ,preferredLanguage ,showInAddressList ,streetAddress
Property & Supported filters: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0

Groups: description
Property & Supported filters: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/group?view=graph-rest-1.0

Filters Supported List: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/aad-advanced-queries#device-properties

Can you please help me running the properties along filters for above?

Thankyou.
