I'm trying to get an output from a powershell command. However The output is truncated.

[PS] >Get-QADGroup "admins"

Name                           Type            DN
----                           ----            --
Admins                         group CN=Admins,OU=Profiles,OU=Groups,OU=Sw...

How do I tell this shell wannabe not to truncate its data?

Get-QADGroup "admins" | Ft -autosize -wrap

If space console is to small try:

Get-QADGroup "admins" | Fl name,type,dn

edit:

Get-QADGroup "admins" | Ft -autosize | out-string -width 4096
