Vista - Another AD formatting quirk / bug

I found this while trying to repro Chris's bug/quirk re AD.

Try the following:

$domain =
[System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()

$DCs = $domain.DomainControllers

$DCs | format-list

It always displays as a table, not a list.

Default formatting as a table is all wrong. There is so much that is
cut off.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks, Dennis.

It's consistent in the shell I was using.

I opened a new shell on the same machine and it works correctly. There
must be some bug somewhere but I suspect it would be a devil of a job
to track down.

Done.

BTW the faulty PowerShell instance is still open (just checked) so if
you want some trace done in it to narrow down the cause of the problem
I can do that (at least I can at the moment). Email me off list if you
want me to do that.
