How To Get Get-ADUser To Return Individual Properties

Question

I'm trying to clean up this code. Isn't there a way to do something like this?

$CurrentUserDetails = Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties *
$CurrentUserDetails.LastName (<-- This does not work.)

Instead of having to do this? (The below works)

$CurrentFirstName = (Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties GivenName).GivenName
$CurrentLastName = (Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties SurName).SurName
$CurrentDisplayName = (Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties DisplayName).DisplayName
$CurrentDistinguishedName = (Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties DistinguishedName).DistinguishedName
$CurrentUserPrincipalName = (Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties UserPrincipalName).UserPrincipalName

Answer 1

Any better?

$CurrentUserDetails = Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties *

$CurrentFirstName,
$CurrentLastName,
$CurrentDisplayName,
$CurrentDistinguishedName,
$CurrentUserPrincipalName =

$CurrentUserDetails.GivenName,
$CurrentUserDetails.Surname,
$CurrentUserDetails.DisplayName,
$CurrentUserDetails.DistinguishedName,
$CurrentUserDetails.UserPrincipalName

Answer 2

$name = Get-ADuser -Identity $CurrentUserName -Properties * | Select-Object 
Name,Created, LastLogon,GivenName,
SurName,DisplayName,DistinguishedName,UsserPrincipleName

This should give you all the objects you want to select
