Powershell: Output displayname of "Manager" attribute when querying Active Directory
I'm trying to pull a report from Active Directory for which I am including the manager attribute. As Active Directory stores the DN of the manager in this attribute, that's what I get in my report.
As I understand it, Powershell has a means to perform calculated properties when piping to the Select-Object cmdlet. Can you use this to translate the manager name to its displayname by running a subsequent Get-ADUser?
I'm looking for something like the following, but I just can't get the syntax down correctly.
Get-ADUser <params snipped> | Select-Object Name, @{n="ManagerName";e={Get-A
Is this possible? Am I just messing up the syntax? I am having a very difficult time in searching online for how to accomplish something like this.

BTW, I just ran your command and it did not work. I got a blank value for ManagerName but I fixed it. I need to add -Properties DisplayName on the manager side of the query.
Get-ADUser <params snipped> -Properties Manager | Select-Object Name, @{n="ManagerName";e={(Get-
