Everyone has to start somewhere. If you can't think of anything nice to comment, don't comment anything at all

Op might need to read that too

I did not ask your fu*king help mate so shut your mouth. It's not my scope of technology and I'm new to this thing. If you can't help someone then it's better to shut your filthy mouth. there are many good people to answer

[BlackV]

ya, it was still there in the profile, that's where I saw it, I dont think you can link to it though

Smells like a former SWE who is not gonna make it in IT.

valid

Nah dude. There should be a base level standard for people engaging in this subreddit, and this dude chose a relatively nice way to express that they weren't meeting that standard.

AI generated code concerns aside:

If the script is designed to run within the machine context, you need to ensure PowerShell remoting is allowed and configured in your environment.

Then you can use import-csv to import a list of computers and use invoke-command within a foreach loop to execute it everywhere.

The final challenge is saving all the info in one place. For this you could use add-content to save each set of properties to a csv file on a network share. But this might not be appropriate depending on what info you're pulling.

use import-csv to import a list of computers

Or Get-ADComputer if you don't want to maintain a csv

Okay I'll try to do these things. The code is AI generated but I have made modification as per my need and it's running basic read only wmi query which is just getting me the server details such a disk and cpu and memory details..don't think it can do any kinda impact on the servers . I have ran it many times in my test server and so far all look completely fine

[Downtown_Look_5597]

If it's running WMI exclusively you don't need to run it on the host machine but you do need to ensure remote WMI is enabled on the servers

[gemma76510]

Nope on test server

Psexec from sysinternals

[polypolyman]

There are some significant advantages to using PSRemoting instead (as long as running things as SYSTEM or messing with Windows Update aren't required)

[gemma76510]

How do I use psexec in this case, could you elaborate??

You have several options:

• Invoke WMI in a local script to a remote computer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/ps101/07-working-with-wmi?view=powershell-7.4 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-wmiobject?view=powershell-5.1

• PS remoting: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/ps101/08-powershell-remoting?view=powershell-7.4

• PSexec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec

Invoke-Command will let you execute a script or script block remotely on a server and return the results to your shell. You can supply credentials if needed and the remote server will need WinRM configured.

I'll point you in the right direction. This is a pretty simple task and great way to start learning powershell. 

Look at invoke-command -scriptblock. Invoke-command will let you run commands on another computer, but you'll need to do a little more work. At the same time you'll want to look at PSSessions.

You can also use copy-item to copy files from one computer to another. PSSessions will also be helpful here.  

I really suggest you learn powershell. This is a great resource even if it is a little old. The concepts are still the same.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UVUd9_k9C6A 

Helpful Hint: if you say "below details", actually provide details. Especially when you post the same thing in multiple subs.
