function Get-Everyone([switch]$fromDomain) {\n #.Synopsis\n # Gets all users\n #.Description\n # Queries WMI to get all users.

This means that I can embed examples within a function, as I did above.<\/P>
# Get All Local Accounts\nGet-Everyone<\/p>\n# Get All Local & Domain Accounts\nGet-Everyone -fromDomain<\/PRE>\n
Hope this helps,<\/P>\n
