Command | Format-List

This command gives you a list of all the attributes against the object you run it against. This is extremely useful if you are unsure on an attribute, see my example below where I want to know all the attributes for all the Datacenters, I start by running the command (NOTE – FL is an abbreviation for Format-List)

Get-Datacenter | FL

This produces the list below which allows you to see the attributes all the attributes for all the Datacenters

You can then once again select this attributed in more detail
