FAQ: How do I see the full properties of an output object in Monad?

FAQ: How do I see the full properties of an output object in Monad?: In general, most output that you see in Monad is in summary format (aka: nice table or list view). This summary format is just a view on the actual data returned by cmdlets--which is a full object. If you need to get full details for some output, try this: get-mailbox domain\someuser | format-list Format-list is super useful for finding properties that you sort of know, but not exactly (note: fl is a built in alias to format-list): get-mailbox domain\someuser | fl name,*quota* The previous line will return all the quota properties (e.g. ProhibitSendQuota, ProhibitReceiveQuota) for the user as well as the user's name. Speaking of format-list, there is also format-table (ft), which produces a custom table on the fly. This is handy if you have a lot of data being returned and want that tabulated in a readable manner: get-mailboxDatabase -server myServer | ft name,*dn* -autosize Using these formatters, it becomes very easy to display, discover and use properties on output objects in Monad.; posted on Friday, March 03, 2006 2:03 AM Print
