Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $object1 -DifferenceObject $object2 -Property a,b,c,d,e If a,b,c and d are the same, but e is different, compare object will return a difference. In the following example, I use "-eq $null" as a check because by default compare-object returns $null if the objects are the same. #create an array of objects to check against $collection = @() foreach ($entry in ("aaaaa","bbbbb","ccccc","ddddd")){    $store = "" | select "a","b","c","d","e"    $store.a = $entry*1    $store.b = $entry*2    $store.c = $entry*3    $store.d = $entry*4    $store.e = $entry*5    $collection += $store } #create an object similar to those in the array $object = "" | select ...
