Hi,

I was wondering how you would combine two existing object properties into one (in Powershell)? I.E. $_.firstname + $_.lastname = $_.fullname

Do you need to you the add-member cmdlet?

Thanks,
-Nick

Hello Nick,

Are you trying to populate an Exchange field with this information, or just
use it in your sript?

You could do

$user = get-user <alias>
$fullname = $user.FirstName + $user.lastname

now, $fullnae eill be 'firstnamelastname' with no spaces.

Karl
