Question about Scripting Guys script

i checking out script scripting guy gather information active directory gather list attributes have run issue. 

 

here script:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

$strcategory = "computer" $objdomain = new-object system.directoryservices.directoryentry $objsearcher = new-object system.directoryservices.directorysearcher $objsearcher.searchroot = $objdomain $objsearcher.filter = ("(objectcategory=$strcategory)")  $colproplist = "name" foreach ($i in $colproplist){$objsearcher.propertiestoload.add($i)} $colresults = $objsearcher.findall()  foreach ($objresult in $colresults)  {$objcomputer = $objresult.properties; $objcomputer.name

the way explained understand add attributes array $colproplist = "name" such $colproplist = "name", "lastlogintimestamp" 

and that would return value needed; however, still returns name. can provide insight on how modify script to 

gather additional ad attributes?

$colproplist = "name", "operatingsystem", "lastlogontimestamp"

foreach ($i in $colproplist){$objsearcher.propertiestoload.add($i)}

this tells properties load.

the best thing powershell not can create scripts can execute things @ in shell can see outcome of each command...

so if run code point of $colresults = $objsearcher.findall()... return computers match filter supplied...
if have more 1 can access them index (array have indexs, 0,1,2,3 etc)

so if type in $colresults[0] first directoryentry object in list of type computer...
if run

$colresults[0] | get-member

it shows of members (members properties, methods, events etc) object (in case object directoryentry) has...

the 1 care properties, again, inspect it...

$colresults[0].properties | get-member

two things of interest there, propertynames , values... so... object doing bit of translation us...

$colresults[0].properties.propertynames

it spits out properties loaded... you'll notice lower case...

so if try access properties loaded, loaded them, example...

$colresults[0].properties.operatingsystem
nothing?
why?

well, 1 of few cases case matters...

try $colresults[0].properties.operatingsystem

there is!

the property used lower case name, why got name...

{$objcomputer = $objresult.properties; $objcomputer.name; $objcomputer.operatingsystem; $objcomputer.lastlogontimestamp}

so, code work fine if make property names lower case...

{$objcomputer = $objresult.properties; $objcomputer.name; $objcomputer.operatingsystem; $objcomputer.lastlogontimestamp}
