What are the properties of an object

The Get-Properties command returns the properties for a specified object. This can be useful when you want to know specific information on an object.

Get-Properties [-VCData] <VersionControlledData> [-PipelineVariable <String>]

Get-Item "IE Settings" | Get-Properties

The Get-Item command identifies the object for which to get the properties. The object data is then piped into the Get-Properties command and the properties for that object are displayed.

The piping works the same as the following command. It is just a quicker way of executing the command by taking advantage of the piping feature in PowerShell.

$GPO = Get-Item "IE Settings"

Get-Properties $GPO

The Get-Item command identifies the object and is stored in a variable. The Get-Properties command is called with the variable and the properties for that object are displayed.

What objects are available

The Get-Available command returns the objects that are available. This can be useful when you want to know which objects are available to edit.

Get-Available [-GPOs] [-ProtectedSettings] [-WMIFilters] [-SOMs] [-OUs] [-Domains] [-Sites] [-Scripts] [-SortBy <SortField>] [-Descending] [-Count] [-PipelineVariable <String>]

Returns a listing of all the objects that are available for edit.

Get-Available -GPOs

Returns a listing of all the GPOs that are available for edit.

What objects are checked out

The Get-CheckedOut command returns the objects which are checked out. This can be useful when you want to know which objects are being edited.

Get-CheckedOut [-GPOs] [-ProtectedSettings] [-WMIFilters] [-SOMs] [-OUs] [-Domains] [-Sites] [-Scripts] [-SortBy <SortField>] [-Descending] [-Count] [-PipelineVariable <String>]

Returns a listing of all the objects with a status of checked out and are being edited.

Get-Available -GPOs

Returns a listing of all the GPOs that are checked out.
