    I decided to remove all AD attributes from the table. The table now only documents the default and extended properties exposed by Get-ADGroup. I decided that the AD attributes in the table were no different from any other attributes appropriate for the class of object. This table was never intended to document all group object attributes.

    When you specify -Properties * with Get-ADGroup, all default and extended properties are retrieved, plus the values of AD attributes that have values. The table originally included some AD attributes, but only because they nearly always have values. When you specify properties using the -Properties parameter, the names are case insensitive. However, when the cmdlet returns property names, all default and extended property names begin with an upper case letter. Any AD attribute names begin with a lower case letter.
