NOTES

  1. There is no attribute of Active Directory computer objects for IP addresses, either IPv4 or IPv6. The Get-ADComputer cmdlet retrieves the addresses from DNS, using [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostEntry($Computer).AddressList, where $Computer is the name of the computer. This returns an array of IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6. But only one (or none) of each is returned by either the -IPv4Adress or -IPv6Address properties. See the link regarding IPv4address in the "Other Resources" section.
