I am not familiar with Orchestrator but I suggest you save your output as a formatted string rather than an object with multiple properties. This will require a loop if your collections have more than one rule defined.
$Names = ((Get-CMDeviceCollection -CollectionId SMS110101).CollectionRules).RuleName Foreach($Name in $Names) { $Results += $Name + "`n" } $Results From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Krueger, Jeff Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 8:49 AM To: powershell@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [powershell] Getting data out of a child powershell session for use with Orchestrator Hello, I'm hoping someone may have a good suggestion on how to pass data from a child powershell process to the parent process in a fashion that Orchestrator can publish on its databus. So I have the below script, where I have to call a child powershell session because the activity that run the script natively only opens a powershell 2.0 session, so for the cmdlets I want to use we have to call a child session that will open in PS version 4. The problem I seem to be running into is that the new object is a hash table and it appears if there is more than one value the Orchestrator databus doesn't like it. Perhaps there is a better way $VAR = PowerShell { CD HFH: $DirRules = Get-CMDeviceCollection -CollectionId 'SMS110101' $Names = $DirRules.CollectionRules | Select RuleName New-Object pscustomobject -Property @{ Rules = $Names } } $Results = $VAR.Rules $Results ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email contains information from the sender that may be CONFIDENTIAL, LEGALLY PRIVILEGED, PROPRIETARY or otherwise protected from disclosure.
