Filling Emty Properties in AD from MSH
As I was testing again on my ADSI LargeInterger problem, see Monad(MSH) Beta 3 is getting closer
B3 did not solve this, I did Impoort the ADSI typelibrary but I did not mentioned to do it yet.
But as I used Adam for testing (see Monad and Adam (and a preview of my to-be AD provider)
My user object kind was of empty.
I was missing a lot of properties, for example the first and lastname.
becouse you will not get them back if they are not set.
you can see in the samples below how to get those properties filled,
first I used ADSIEdit to fill Firstname (Givenname) and lastname (sn),
You can see that after a RefreshCache() in MSH, I can see the New Properties,
you can also "create" the property by filling it with invokeset()
$mow = new-object system.directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://localhost:389/cn=mow,ou=mowOu,dc=mow,dc=adam")

for now I used ADSIEdit to look up the property values, but ofcourse we get get them from Monad too , by looking at the schema, more about that later.
