💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not requesting the EmailAddress property, so emails are missing.

Incorrect loop syntax or assignment inside the loop.

Using wrong department name.

Filter users by department 'Sales'. Request the 'EmailAddress' property. Then build a dictionary mapping usernames (SamAccountName) to emails.
