Get Username from computer name using powershell and sccm

I'm attempting to do the following :

Query SCCM using Powershell for a computer name, then, within the output of that, get the UserName.

Right now, I am using :

Get-CMDevice -name <computername>

This returns the entire record. Within that is an item called "UserName". That's what I want to extract out.

It's been a very long time since working with powershell, let alone the SCCM plugins.

Solution

  • Either use the member reference operator (.):

    (Get-CMDevice -Name AComputerName).UserName

    or use Select-Object -ExpandProperty:

    Get-CMDevice -Name AComputerName |Select-Object -ExpandProperty UserName
