title: How to view all properties of an AD User object?
body: <p>I recently started playing around with power shell and just finished reading the learn PowerShell in a month of lunches book.</p>
  
  <p>I'm playing around with the <code>Get-AdUser</code> cmdlet and I'm confused about all the AD users properties. for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-ADUser -filter {name -like "ryan*"} | Format-Table *
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's my understanding that <code>| Format-Table *</code> or <code>| get-member</code> should return all properties of an object. However I came across this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-ADUser -filter {name -like "ryan*"}  –Properties "DisplayName", "msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That adds a <code>DisplayName</code> and <code>msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed</code> properties to the objects.</p>
  
  <p>My question is why weren't these properties listed under <code>get-member</code>? Is there a way I can view all the properties of <code>get-aduser</code>?</p>
