in powershell how to parse the get-aduser output in order to filter the result with select-string ?

Hello,

i'd like to recover some informations out of the get-aduser output.

todo so i thought i could pipe the output and then apply the "select-string" cmd as follows :

Get-ADUser -identity theIdentifiedUser -server myserver.ext.com -Properties * | Select-String -Pattern '*last*'

Question:

how can i recover all lines - of the output - that have "last" in it ?

thank you in advance.

Get-ADUser output is not a string so you cannot use Select-String to filter it..

You can filter based on property values.. You can modify the filter based on which property you want to filter.

Example to filter Displayname, use..

Get-ADUser -identity theIdentifiedUser -server myserver.ext.com  -Properties * | ?{$_.Displayname -match "Last"}

Hello !

@Subsun : am i missing something with your first proposal as i dont have the display of the "DisplayName" ? the second "to phrase property" is OK.

@oBda : your second proposal (i really insisted on a string -based search ;) ) is exactly was i was looking.

thank you so much
