Example 13-4 1
PS C:\>Get-DRADynamicDistributionGroup -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "GROUP123" -Attributes "Description","DisplayName",DistinguishedName","FriendlyPath","FriendlyParentPath","FriendlyName","SamAccountName"
This example requests the properties of the group named GROUP123 in MyDomain.corp. The Attributes parameter specifies what properties to return. When the Attributes parameter is not present, a default list of properties will be returned.
Example 13-5 2
PS C:\>Get-DRADynamicDistributionGroup -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "GROUP123"
This example requests the properties of the group named GROUP123 in MyDomain.corp. The identifier contains the name for the group. When the name is used, DRA resolves the name to the distinguished name and then requests the properties for the group.
Example 13-6 3
PS C:\>Get-DRADynamicDistributionGroup -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "CN=GROUP123,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp"
This example requests the properties of the group named GROUP123 in MyDomain.corp. The identifier contains the distinguished name for the group.
