I want to get serial numbers of remote PC's with the name of PC, in one table. $PCNameArray is array of remote PC I want to get serial numbers.
$complete = $false
$arrayJobs = @()
Foreach($a in $PCNameArray) {
$arrayJobs += Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $a -Class Win32_BIOS -asjob
}
while (-not $complete) {
$arrayJobsInProgress = $arrayJobs |
Where-Object { $_.State -match ‘running’ }
if (-not $arrayJobsInProgress) { “All Jobs Have Completed” ; $complete = $true }
}
$arrayJobs | Receive-Job
this code will give me only serial numbers. How can I add each PC names to this result? Thank you.
The computer name is returned as a property of the returned WMI object, it's just not shown by default. You can show it like this:
$arrayJobs = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $PCNameArray -Class Win32_BIOS -asjob
Wait-Job $arrayJobs
$arrayJobs |
Receive-Job |
Format-Table PsComputerName, SerialNumber -AutoSize
This gives output like this:
PSComputerName SerialNumber
-------------- ------------
Server1 0000-0000-2620-2195-4000-8654-21
Server2 0000-0013-3219-1963-9428-8113-87
Server3 0000-0004-9473-4695-9509-1141-89
PsComputerName
is added to the WMI object by PowerShell, but the object itself has a __Server
property that also contains the computer name. You can see everything that is returned by replacing Format-Table PsComputerName, SerialNumber -AutoSize
in the above example with Format-List *
