Hello scripting guy,
I have a question regarding a script that uses conditional statements and comparison operators to query remote servers for installed software.
I am using PS on server 2016, but I am getting errors using the command get-wmiobject.
I believe PS command "get-wmiobject" is deprecated on windows server 2016, so I am searching an alternative script for viewing listed software.
For example, script below works.
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate |Format-Table –AutoSize
But when I add the "Get-ItemProperty..." commands into my script, it does nothing...
Below is my current script that does not show installed software on a remote server:
if ($testingconnection -eq 'True')
{ Write-Host "$computer is up" -ForegroundColor Green
$getsoftware = Invoke-Command -cn servername -ScriptBlock {Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | select DisplayName, Publisher, InstallDate
if ($getsoftware.Count -eq '')
{Write-Host "$computer has google installed"}
else{Write-Host "$computer does not have google installed" }
}
}
Can you please offer some advice on how to get the get-item command to work with my script?
Thanks
Sandro Gia
