I'll give that a try. Since it's "Miller" time I'll have to try this on Monday. Thanks, Ken .

You will have to turn that string into a command so that it can use your $computer variable. Invoke-command or start-process should do the trick.

I want the variable so that I can next create a text file of machine names and send that to the script. What my objective is to have this script read the mif files that show up in the dataloader inbox badmifs folders and pars out the computer name and force a full inventory. The above is just the first part of my attempt to get this script working while leaning PowerShell at the same time. Part of my problem is that I don't have a programming or scripting background, so I have a lot to learn. Thanks, Ken .

I want to be able to input a list of computers and then kick off a full Hardware or Software inventory (rather than a delta inventory). So far I have it kicking off a delta inventory. I don't see a way to do a full inventory. Here is what I have so far (this is just the inventory portion for testing): $Computer = "XYZ" [wmi]"\\$Computer\ROOT\ccm\invagt:InventoryActionStatus.InventoryActionID='{ 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}' <file:///\\$Computer\ROOT\ccm\invagt:InventoryActionStatus.InventoryActionID ='%7b00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001%7d'> " | remove-wmiobject ([wmiclass]"\\$Computer\Root\CCM:SMS_Client <file:///\\$Computer\Root\CCM:SMS_Client> ").TriggerSchedule('{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}') When I run this I get the following in the InventoryAgent.log file: Thanks, Ken Lutz Senior Systems Administrator Information Systems Department Spokane County 815 N.
