DESCRIPTION

The Get-ItemPropertyValue gets the current value for a property that you specify when you use the Name parameter,

located in a path that you specify with either the Path or LiteralPath parameters.

PARAMETERS

-Credential

Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01\User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the

Get-Credential cmdlet. If you type a user name, you are prompted for a password. This parameter is not

supported by any providers that are installed with Windows PowerShell. Required? false Position? named Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false

-Exclude

Specifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet excludes from the operation. Required? false Position? named Default value None Accept pipeline input? False Accept wildcard characters? false

-Filter

Specifies a filter in the provider's format or language. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. The syntax of the filter, including the use of wildcard characters, depends on the provider. Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when the cmdlet gets the objects rather than having Windows PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.

If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Required? true Position? named Default value None
