Different Powershell output styles

Post by vbogda »

Hi,

The output from a script that loads the Veeam SnapIn is a bit different from the output you get from the PowerShell in the Veeam Backup & Replication main menu.
In particular, the SnapIn output appears to be a lot more verbose showing every property in the returned object while the bult-in Powershell renders its output in nicely formatted tables.

How can I get the output from my powershell scripts to be more like the one you get with the Powershell from the Veeam B&R menu?

Thanks

You can use Format-List, Format-Table and similar commandlets to customize your output.

Nice, thanks. Obviously, Powershell scripting is new to me.

Would you know how to make Format-Table the default, say for a script? Sorry, my google foo has failed me.
