This month’s TechNet magazine has a great video demo from Don Jones where he uses WMI to generate a simple Software Inventory Report. The great thing about Don is his awesome ability to break things down into a series of simple steps. He does this by using Get-WMIObject from the command line and then goes through a series of scripts to illustrate various techniques that give you better and better results (more power, better composability).<\/P>\n
If you are an advanced scripter, you probably already know the techniques that Don is illustrating but this is a must see for people starting scripting – it is just so logical and straightforward. I’ve attended Don’s training classes and his sessions at conferences and they are all great so if you have the opportunity – you should definately run to his talks. <\/P>\n
