Thanks,

That part of the Tut is not quite right. Or let’s say the format-table is unnecessary because convertto-html always chooses table format. And, try to put in “format-list”, it won’t work. To output the HTML as list you have to write just that:
ConvertTo-Html -As List
apart from that, great tut, helped me a lot. Thanx

With the knowledge learned from this I’m trying to create a script that loads a text file of computers and queries for HD setttings and will output to a one page Excel document. I’m basically doing a nested loop and calling a function:

Function DiskInfo{
$colItems = Get-wmiObject -class “Win32_LogicalDisk” -namespace “root\CIMV2″`
-computername $strComputer |
% {
$introw += 1
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1) = $_.SystemName
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,2) = $_.DeviceID
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,3) = $_.Description
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,4) = $_.FileSystem
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,5) = $_.Size / 1GB
$Sheet.Cells.Item($intRow,6) = $_.FreeSpace / 1GB
}
$introw += 1
}

$arrComputers = get-Content -Path “C:\Computers.txt”
foreach ($strComputer in $arrComputers){Diskinfo}

Everything seems to work except “$intRow = $intRow + 1″ only increments within the ForEach loop. So every new computer overwrites the previous computer’s output.

How do I pass the correct $inRow variable outside this loop?

Thanks

Is there anyway you know of including information taken from the registry in this example?

Our OS where I work is patched using an update package. Each package has a version. This version information is stored within HKLM\SOFTWARE\Build and a key called Version stores the version info.

Is there anyway of running a wmi type script against remote registries and storing that info in a .xls? If not wmi perhaps there is another way of gleening info from remote registries using powershell?

Thanks.

2. I have tried the select-object example which works fine for locally, however if I try to run it on multiple servers using my dodgy scripting skills, my csv output is overwritten by the next server in the list. I can’t seem to append the data:

$arrservers = get-Content -Path “C:\ps\testServers.txt”
foreach ($server in $arrservers){
Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername $server | Select-Object Name,TotalPhysicalMemory | Export-CSV Meminfo.csv
}

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Carlos.
