I’m moving this to the PowerShell help category. What’s the question and what are you trying to accomplish?

Looking at this line of code:

> [@abhaykumar9135](#):
>
> `$ADusermems = (Get-ADUser $inuser -Properties memberof).memberof`

Needs to be updated to:

```auto
$ADusermems = Get-ADUser $inuser -Properties memberof | select -ExpandProperty memberof

```

I don’t know that it **has** to. They both do the same thing just with different syntax.

You’re right… It works fine without expanding…Thanks 🙂

Well to be clear that’s what the dot syntax does: print a property’s value. Select-Object -ExpandProperty is doing the same thing.  
It’s just two different ways to do the same thing.
