If I run this command:

$LinkedGPOs = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -like "*MyOU*"' | select -ExpandProperty LinkedGroupPolicyObjects

I get back a list of linked GPO's. I need to run it with the filter looking for a variable, like this:

$LinkedGPOs = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter 'Name -like "*$_.OrganizationalUnit*"' | select -ExpandProperty LinkedGroupPolicyObjects

I think it should be simple, but I've had no luck guessing around.

Thanks for the assist.

My rule of thumb is double quote outer, single quote inner for the AD cmdlet filters. mklement0 has an excellent answer with a full explanation if I can find it. – BenH Jun 20 '18 at 19:42
It isn't strictly a duplicate, but checking the question BenH referred to provided me with what I needed to deduce the answer. – B. Ferguson Jun 20 '18 at 19:54
@B.Ferguson: Your real problem was a misconception about PowerShell's string-expansion (string-interpolation) rules - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/40445998/45375 – mklement0 Jun 20 '18 at 20:36
