    <# Define GUID Regex
    Active Directory GUID is represented as a 128-bit number, typically displayed as a
    string of 32 hexadecimal characters, such as "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
        ^ asserts the start of the string.
        [0-9a-fA-F] matches any hexadecimal digit.
        {8} specifies that the preceding character class should appear exactly 8 times.
        - matches the hyphen character literally.
        {4} specifies that the preceding character class should appear exactly 4 times.
        {12} specifies that the preceding character class should appear exactly 12 times.
        $ asserts the end of the string.
