The Exchange Management Shell has a rich set of operators that enables comparisons of one object with another object or one object with a set of objects. For more information about comparison operators, run the following command in the Shell:

The following table lists the comparison operators that are available in the Shell. Some comparison operators are case-sensitive. If a comparison operator is case-sensitive, the case that is used in the strings that are being compared must match. For example, the string "Test" does not match "test" when you use a comparison operator that is case-sensitive.
