Ok, one more weird thing. I've got it getting a list of computers via
get-adcomputer to run against, and most of the computers it's fine one. But a
number of them return an access denied during the foreach-object.
However, if I modify the filter to run against some of the machines reporting
access denied, they return fine.
Here is the current script:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$adminaccount = Get-Credential
Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -Like "Windows *Server*"} -SearchBase
"DC=domain,DC=local" |
ForEach-Object -process {
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $_.Name -Credential
$adminAccount |
Select-Object `
@{l='ComputerName';e={$_.__Server.ToString()}},`
@{l='Manufacturer';e={$_.Manufacturer.ToString()}},`
@{l='Model';e={$_.Model.ToString()}},`
@{l='Operating System';e={(Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem
-ComputerName $_.Name -Credential $adminAccount | Select-Object -expand
Caption).ToString()}}} |
Export-Csv -Path "c:\users\public\documents\ServerInfo.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Doh!
Thanks much. I didn't know about the .tostring() trick.

Change the format-table to select-object.

Hmmm... I added | Export-CSV -path file.csv to it and it ran successfully.
However, the resulting CSV looks like this:
ClassId2e4f51ef21dd47e99d3c952918aff9cd
pageHeaderEntry
pageFooterEntry
autosizeInfo
shapeInfo
groupingEntry

Don't overthink it.
$adminAccount = Get-Credential
$ServerName = "string"
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $ServerName -Credential
$adminAccount |
Format-Table `
@{l='ComputerName';e={$_.__Server.ToString()}},`
@{l='Manufacturer';e={$_.Manufacturer.ToString()}},`
@{l='Model';e={$_.Model.ToString()}},`
@{l='Operating System';e={(Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem
-ComputerName $ServerName -Credential $adminAccount | Select-Object -expand
Caption).ToString()}} -AutoSize
You should be able to pipe that to export-csv (perhaps minus the autosize - I
didn't test it).

I'm trying to make a Powershell script to get a list of computer objects from
AD, and query some AD properties from them and export to a CSV.
The part I have working does the queries and exports the data I want to a
table. The export-csv is giving me grief, and I think it's because I need to
convert the data to strings to export them out.
I think after the get-adcomputer I need to do a foreach-object to run the
script block for each, but I'm having a brain fart.
Here's the part I have for the WMI info I need:
$adminAccount = Get-Credential
$ServerName = "string"
Get-WmiObject -class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $ServerName -Credential
$adminAccount |
Format-Table `
@{l='ComputerName';e={$_.__Server}},`
@{l='Manufacturer';e={$_.Manufacturer}},`
@{l='Model';e={$_.Model}},`
@{l='Operating System';e={Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem
-ComputerName $ServerName -Credential $adminAccount | Select-Object -expand
Caption}} -AutoSize
