UWF and Powershell in IoT

PBSnake 1

I'm using the Universal write filter on windows Io2 (17763.1518) and when using uwfmgr in powershell I'm get spaces between all the characters on the output. Any Ideas how to correct this?

Thanks

UWFMGR.EXE is best used in cmd.exe where you wont have the extra spaces. PowerShell shows the spaces for unicode. You could create your own uwgmr solution using the UWF WMI API.

Are you using Windows IoT Core or IoT Enterprise?

I'm using IoT Core, With the spaces I know you can't use the CMD in the IoT dashboard. I thought I read somewhere Microsoft made a change that addressed this issue.

@PBSnake , you may try to use putty to connect to your IoT Core, and then run the uwf command via putty.

For IoT Core, not much can be down with PowerShell remoting for UWF output. You could try SSH if the component is included in the image.
