    Trying to use powershell to make maintenance easy.


    I need to do maintenance on a bunch of computers and perhaps upgrade some, rather the physically touching them all I would like to use WMI and Powershell to get the information about these computers and output it to a .CSV file. Can anyone point me in the right direction? All of my computers currently are on windows 7 ultimate and professional and they are all currently on the same domain.

    I'm not versed in PowerShell. But this site looks like it might have some value:
    PowerShell.com

    Also you can make WMI calls from scripting languages AutoIt and AutoHotkey. They might be easier to start with while you are getting acclimated to PS syntax.

    http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/

    http://www.autohotkey.com/

    both have forums where you can ask for help.

    Thanks, I didn't even think to see if there was a website dedicated to powershell, I googled it and that site didn't show up. I also looked on stack overflow and didn't see anything. I will check these sources and document how I do it here.

I know for a sure fact that Diagnostics Troubleshooting Wizard is in "C:\Windows\System32\msdt.exe", but if I wanted to create a shortcut for my desktop for a specific troubleshoot (mine is run maintenance tasks) and actually the shortcut works, how do I make such a shortcut? Any Ideas?
