Question: I have an apparently simple PowerShell System Object that I am having a hard time selecting data from. Can somebody please help explain how I can select / expand the fields in this object?
More info:
I have selected an object (Public Folder) from my Exchange Online environment using
Get-MailPublicfolder
Now the object is stored in a variable $pf
$pf.getType()
IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True ArrayList System.Object
When I do this
$pf | fl *
I get the following output
EmailAddressPolicyEnabled : False
PrimarySmtpAddress : metrowest@company.com
RecipientType : PublicFolder
RecipientTypeDetails : PublicFolder
DisplayName : Metro West
and so on.
However if I do this
$pf.displayName
or
$pf | select displayName
I get nothing back
When I do this
$pf | select *
