Parameters

-Metadata

Gets records with matching metadata entries. The value being compared with is a concatenation of the key name, a colon, and the value. For example: -Metadata “abc:x*” matches records with a metadata entry having a key name of “abc” and a value starting with the letter “x”.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Property

Specifies the properties to be returned. This is similar to piping the output of the command through Select-Object, but the properties are filtered more efficiently at the server.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ReturnTotalRecordCount

When specified, the cmdlet outputs an error record containing the number of records available. This error record is additional information and does not affect the objects written to the output pipeline. See about_Prov_Filtering for details.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: False
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-MaxRecordCount

Specifies the maximum number of records to return.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: 250
Required: False

Accept wildcard characters: False

-Skip

Skips the specified number of records before returning results. Also reduces the count returned by -ReturnTotalRecordCount.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: 0
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SortBy

Sorts the results by the specified list of properties. The list is a set of property names separated by commas, semi-colons, or spaces. Optionally, prefix each name with a + or - to indicate ascending or descending order. Ascending order is assumed if no prefix is present.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: The default sort order is by name or unique identifier.
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Filter

Gets records that match a PowerShell-style filter expression. See about_Prov_Filtering for details.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-FilterScope

Gets only results allowed by the specified scope id.

Type: Guid
