Get-User $_ | Select sAMAccountName

Answer 1

Just get the substring starting at the second letter(index 1).

Get-User $_ | Select @{n="AccountName";e={$_.sAMAccountName.Substring(1)}}

If you just need the value, you could do it like this:

Get-User $_ | % { $_.sAMAccountName.Substring(1) }

Answer 2

Substring(1) returns a substring containing all chars after the first one.

Get-User $_ | Select @{N="myAccountName";E={$_.sAMAccountName).substring(1)}}
