MoW, a Monad newsgroup regular, asked why only the Caption, Name and PeakUsage properties were displayed from the command \u201cget-WMIObject Win32_PageFileUsage\u201d while the output object had a lot more properties. I think it is worth it to explain in details how to find out which properties are displayed.
First, I would look at which view defined in one of the *.format.msh1xml files is used. The Trace-Command Cmdlet can help here:
Trace-Command \u2013option All \u2013Name FormatViewBinding { get-WMIObject Win32_PageFileUsage | out-host} \u2013MshHost<\/p>\n
The trace output is in yellow. It reads at the end: \u201cDEBUG: FormatViewBindin Information: 0 : No applicable view has been found.\u201d Now, I know that no view is used. The next place to look is the types.msh1xml file. In this file, each type description can have a node called DefaultDisplayPropertySet where the default display properties are defined. Since the class in question is Win32_PageFileUsage, we can search for the string in notepad. Here is the section for the class.<\/p>\n
<Type> Under the DefaultDisplayPropertySet node, there are Caption, Name, and PeakUsage. The question is answered.<\/p>\n – Kevin[MSFT]<\/p>\n [Edit: Monad has now been renamed to Windows PowerShell.
