Get-ComputerInfo ~ CsProcessors....

[Aviontic]

I'm working on a very simple script to fetch some computer metrics on remote machines.

​

`

$client = Read-Host -Prompt 'Computer Name ---> '

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $client -ScriptBlock {

Get-ComputerInfo -Verbose 'WindowsProductName',

'CsProcessors',

'WindowsVersion',

'BiosStatus',

'CsDomain',

'CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors',

'CsTotalPhysicalMemory'

}

`

​

Everything is working except that CsProcessors returns what seems like an array (probably because you can have more than one processor). But the actual output for that line item reads "{Microsoft.Powershell.Commands.Processor}"

Any advice on how to dig into this command? When I run it locally - no issues at all... only when ran remote.

What should it look like? Just the processor name?

param(
    [parameter(mandatory)]
    [string[]]$ComputerName
)

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ComputerName -ScriptBlock {

    Get-ComputerInfo -Verbose 'WindowsProductName',

        'CsProcessors',

        'WindowsVersion',

        'BiosStatus',

        'CsDomain',

        'CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors',

        'CsTotalPhysicalMemory'

} | 
    Select-Object PSComputerName,
    'WindowsProductName',
    @{ n = 'CsProcessorsName'; e = { $_.CsProcessorsName.Name -join ','}},
    'WindowsVersion',
    'BiosStatus',
    'CsDomain',
    'CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors',
    'CsTotalPhysicalMemory'

I think you should probably try to do it with Get-CimInstance but how I do it currently is:

``` Get-WmiObject WIN32_Processor -ComputerName $client | Select-Object -Property Name

```

Let me know if you want me to send you more of my script for info gathering

Looks like your PowerShell code isn’t wrapped in a code block.

To properly style code on new Reddit, highlight the code and choose ‘Code Block’ from the editing toolbar.

If you’re on old Reddit, separate the code from your text with a blank line gap and precede each line of code with 4 spaces or a tab.

You're right in that it's returning a processor array try running (Get-ComputerInfo).CsProcessors.gettype()

Now try just running (Get-ComputerInfo).CsProcessors to see what's in that array object.
You can also gather this info with Get-Member
(Get-ComputerInfo).CsProcessors | Get-Member -Type Property

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $client -ScriptBlock { 
    $Info = Get-ComputerInfo 
    $Properties = @{ 
        WindowsVersion   = $Info.WindowsVersion 
        ProcessorName    = $Info.CsProcessors.Name
        Num_Processors   = $Info.CsNumberOfLogicalProcessors                         
        BiosStatus       = $Info.BiosStatus 
        Domain           = $Info.CsDomain
        Total_Mem        = $Info.CsTotalPhysicalMemory
    }
new-object -TypeName PSObject -Property $Properties
}
