My preferred method is to use the CIM class = StdRegProv. Its a static class so you don’t need to create an object [uint32]$hklm = 2147483650 $newkey = ‘SOFTWARE\NewKey’ Invoke-CimMethod -ClassName StdRegProv -MethodName CreateKey -Arguments @{hDefKey = $hklm; sSubKeyName […]

Typing could get a bit tedious. You could use splatting: $params […]
One thing I’ve been seeing come up a lot recently is the problem of modules and cmdlets cot being available when jobs and workflows are executed even though the module has been specifically loaded into PowerShell. This is because workflows and Jobs run in a separate process when you execute them – NOT your […]
There are 3 sets of cmdlets for working with WMI classes – the WMI cmdlets, the WSMAN cmdlets and the CIM cmdlets. The protocols used by these 3 sets are different. The WMI cmdlets introduced in PowerShell 1 & 2 use DCOM for local and remote access under all circumstances The WSMAN cmdlets […]

WMI wildcards and filtering
Posted by: richardsiddaway | November 11, 2015 Comments Off on WMI wildcards and filtering |A question on the forum asking about filtering WMI results raises a number of interesting points. The user wanted to pass a computername and a filter term to pull product information from remote machines. I ended up with this $computername = $env:COMPUTERNAME $filter = ‘Live’ $scriptblock = { param($filter) Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_product […]
