AD Powershell Command

Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I'm attempting to pull a list of all disabled users from AD. I've got the script working but I'm having issues trimming down exactly what I need.

Here's my script:

Search-ADAccount -AccountDisabled -UsersOnly | FT Name,SamAccountName -A

I'd like to trim this down to just show me the user ID. I don't care about the name because I'm going to be taking the user IDs and pumping them into another application. When I try to run this:

Search-ADAccount -AccountDisabled -UsersOnly | SamAccountName -A

the command fails.

Any ideas? And, yes I'm doing this in PowerShell for a reason.

Figured it out. Here is the code that works:

Seach-ADAccount -AccountDisabled -UsersOnly | Get-ADUser -Properties SamAccountName | Select SamAccountName | Sort-Object SamAccountName

If there is a more efficient way to do this command, I'm interested in hearing what you have.

At a glance the code looks fine to me.
