Parameters

Attribute / Description	Parameters / Values
Attribute / Description	Required	Position	Default Value	Accept Pipeline input?	Accept wildcard characters?
Attributes [<String[]>] An array of attributes to retrieve values for. If this parameter is missing, a default list of properties is returned.	false	named		true (ByPropertyName)	false
PowersForOperations [<String[]>] An array of DRA operation names for which you want the server to return read/write permission information.This parameter is typically used by a UI-based client to hide or disable elements the calling user doesn't have powers for. The PowersForOperations parameter is applicable only if you have specified the Identifier parameter.	false	named		true (ByPropertyName)	false
VisiblePropertiesOnly [<SwitchParameter>] A flag to indicate whether DRA should return only properties the caller has powers to view. By default, DRA will return an error if the caller requests a property that they do not have powers to view. By specifying this flag, DRA is instructed to not return an error and instead just not return a value for such properties.	false	named		false	false
Identifier <String> The name or distinguished name of an existing Active Directory object. When the name is specified, an additional call to the DRA Server is needed to obtain the distinguished name for the object.	true	named		true (ByPropertyName)	false
Domain <String> The domain of the object in fqdn format. For example: mydomain.corp	true	named		true (ByPropertyName)	false
DRARestServer [<String>] The name of the computer running the DRA REST Service. The requested DRA operation will execute on this server. If the parameter is not specified, the value defaults to 'localhost'.	false	named		true (ByPropertyName)	false
DRARestPort [<Int32>] The port where the DRA REST Service listens for requests. If the parameter is not specified, the value defaults to 8755.	false	named	8755	true (ByPropertyName)	false
IgnoreCertificateErrors [<SwitchParameter>] Allows the request to bypass any SSL certificate errors, such as the InvalidOperation error that occurs when the REST Service is bound to a self-signed certificate.	false	named		false	false
Force [<SwitchParameter>] Suppresses any request for user input and supplies a 'yes' response. For example: -Force with a delete request will perform the delete without presenting the confirmation request to the user.	false	named		false	false
Timeout [<Int32>] The number of seconds to wait before the request to the DRA REST server times out. To specify an infinite timeout, you can set this parameter to -1.	false	named	100 seconds	true (ByPropertyName)	false
<CommonParameters> Verbose, Debug, ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable, OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see About CommonParameters.

Example 13-8 1

PS C:\>Get-DRADynamicDistributionGroupPreview -Domain MyDomain.corp -Properties @{description="some information"; recipientContainer="OU=Tax,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp";ConditionalCustomAttribute1="value1","value2";ConditionalStateOrProvince="TX","OR";ConditionalDepartment="Accounting";ConditionalCompany="ACME"}

This example will return a list of objects that would match the dynamic distribution group conditions in the Tax OU in MyDomain.corp. The group members will each have all of the criteria listed for ConditionalCustomAttribute1, ConditionalStateOrProvince, ConditionalDepartment and ConditionalCompan
