In my understanding I made a code that first lists computers with all their properties, then selects only the description property and after that it filters the computers whether they contain the specified string.
Get-ADComputer -Properties * | Select-Object Description | Where $_.Description -Contains "Name"
I received this error:
Where-Object : Cannot validate argument on parameter ‘Property’. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null
or empty, and then try the command again.
I tried multiple versions of this code on par of my skill for now, such as:
Get-ADComputer -Properties * | Where $_.Description -Contains "Name" (Select-Object Description)
Or I completely omitted the Select part.
Get-ADComputer -Properties * | Where $_.Description -Contains "Name"
I’m only starting to get to know Powershell and to be completely honest I’m stuck. I would like to ask you to inspect my code and tell me what is wrong or should be changed. Preferably a simple solution, as in "one liner" like my code above.
Thanks in advance!
>Solution :
This should do it by filtering upfront
Get-ADComputer -Filter 'Description -like "*Name*"' -Properties *
