PowerShell Workstation Info

Question

Trying to retrieve all workstations within a specific OU and list information exactly like the command below outputs.

$x = read-host -prompt "Please enter the machine name:"
get-wmiobject -computername $x -class win32_bios

Answer 1

I think I'd change the code @Michael Taylor offered a little bit:

Get-WmiObject -computername (Get-ADComputer -filter * -SearchBase "DC=<yourdc>,DC=<yourdc>").Name -class win32_bios  

The Get-WmiObject takes an array as the value for its -ComputerName parameter.

Answer 2

If I understand your question then you want to get all the machines in a specific OU. For each machine you then want to run the command to get the BIOS information.

Get-ADComputer -filter * -SearchBase "DC=<yourdc>,DC=<yourdc>" | Foreach-Object { get-wmiobject -computername $_.Name -class win32_bios }
