Get-ItemPropertyValue

Get-ItemPropertyValue [-Name*] <String[]> [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Exclude <String[]>] [-Filter <String>][-Include <String[]>] -LiteralPath* <String[]> [-UseTransaction] [<CommonParameters>]

Get-ItemPropertyValue [[-Path] <String[]>] [-Name*] <String[]> [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Exclude <String[]>][-Filter <String>] [-Include <String[]>] [-UseTransaction] [<CommonParameters>]

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 <PSCredential>

Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName

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.

-Exclude <String[]>

Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input False

Specifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet excludes from the operation.

-Filter <String>

Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input False

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.

-Include <String[]>

Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input False

Specifies, as a string array, an item or items that this cmdlet includes in the operation.

-LiteralPath <String[]>

This value is required
Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName

Specifies a path to the item property. In contrast to the Path parameter, the value of LiteralPath is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks.

-Name <String[]>

This value is required
Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input False

Specifies the name of the property or properties to retrieve.

-Path <String[]>

Default value is None
Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName

Specifies the path to the item or items.

-UseTransaction [<SwitchParameter>]

Default value is False
Accepts pipeline input False

Includes the command in the active transaction. This parameter is valid only when a transaction is in progress.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

Inputs

System.String

You can pipe a string that contains a path to this cmdlet.

Outputs

System.Boolean, System.String, System.DateTime

This cmdlet returns an object for each item property value that it gets. The object type depends on the property value that is retrieved. For example, in a file system drive, the cmdlet might return a file or folder.

Examples

Get the value of the ProductID property:
```
PS C:\> Get-ItemPropertyValue HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion -Name ProductID
94253-50000-11141-AA785
```
This command gets the value of the ProductID property of the \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion object in the Windows Registry provider.
Get the last write time of a file or folder:
```
PS C:\> Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path C:\Users\Test\Documents\ModuleToAssembly -Name LastWriteTime
Wednesday, September 3, 2014 2:53:22 PM
```
This command gets the value of the LastWriteTime property, or the last time a file or folder was changed, from the C:\Users\Test\Documents\ModuleToAssembly folder, working in the FileSystem provider.

Get multiple property values of a file or folder:

PS C:\> Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path C:\Users\Test\Documents\ModuleToAssembly -Name LastWriteTime,CreationTime,Root

   LastWriteTimeUtc  : 9/28/2014 12:22:02 AM
   Attributes        : Hidden, System, Directory
   BaseName          : C:\

   LinkType          : 
   Mode              : d--hs-
