Get the value for one or more properties of a specified item.
Syntax
Get-ItemPropertyValue { [-path] string[] | [-literalPath] string[] }
[[-name] string[]] [-include string[]] [-exclude string[]]
[-filter string] [-credential PSCredential]
[CommonParameters]
Key
-path string
The path(s) to the items. Wildcards are permitted.
-literalPath string
Like Path above, only the value is used exactly as typed.
No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes any
escape characters then enclose the path in single quotation marks.
-name string
The name(s) of the property to retrieve.
n.b. -name '(default)' will retrieve all properties, not just the default value.
-include string
Include only the specified items from the Path. e.g. "May*"
this only works when the path includes a wildcard character.
-exclude string
Omit the specified items from the Path e.g. "*SS64*"
this only works when the path includes a wildcard character.
-filter string
A filter in the provider’s format or language.
The exact syntax of the filter (wildcard support etc) depends on the provider.
Filters are more efficient than -include/-exclude, because the provider
applies the filter when retrieving the objects, rather than having
PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.
-credential PSCredential
Use a credential to validate access to the file. Credential represents
a user-name, such as "User01" or "Domain01\User01", or a PSCredential
object, such as the one retrieved by using the Get-Credential cmdlet.
If you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password.
-UseTransaction
Include the command in the active transaction.
