Consult machines in a specific OU with a specific name of machines
Hello all,
I need to know the machines in a specific OU of my AD, but additional I need filter for name, only need the machines that the name start with W81.
To limit the query to a particular OU I used this command
and to consult for name I used that
How can I join both commands to query on a particular OU machines starting with the specific name?

$Results = Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=IT, DC=contoso, DC=com" | Select-object -property * #Selects ALL properties of the computers just in case DNSHostName isn;t a 'standard' property
$Results | where-object {$_.name -like "Win81*" } | Select-object -property DNSHostName ASKER
VERY NICEEEEEEEEEEE, thank you very much.

Question's already closed, by why would you not do everything with the Get-ADComputer cmdlet? You already got the parameters, just combine them.
Get-ADComputer -Filter "Name -like 'Win81*'" -SearchBase "OU=IT,DC=contoso,DC=com"
How would you return only the DNSHostName without using an additional command to select only that property?
I was just referring to returning the desired computer objects. It's always best practice to filter as early as possible (though for small sets you're not likely to observe the difference).
To just choose the DnsHostName property, yes you would need to pipe to the Select-Object command as you have shown.
