Extend AD cmdlets’ reach

AD cmdlets project is moving along with new features being added all the time but what if what you get now (and the current version is 1.0.2) does not give you what you want yet?

Similar to how we used QADObject to manage OUs in the absence of QADOrganizationalUnit cmdlets you can get access to individual attributes as well.

Checkout this thread at PowerGUI.org to see how you can retrieve the attributes not  yet exposed in cmdlets. For example, to get the LastName attribute missing in 1.0.2 you can use the following command:

Get-QADUser | select Name, FirstName, @{Name=”Last Name”; Expression={$_.DirectoryEntry.sn}}
