Corrupt WMI?? https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2009/04/13/wmi-rebuilding-the-wmi-repository/
Webster From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 2:26 PM To: powershell@lists.myitforum.com Subject: [powershell] Can't get WMI info from Win 2008 (not R2) So this is weird. I have a script that uses Get-WMIObject -Class Win32_QuickFixEngineering -ComputerName $Computer -Filter "HotFixID != 'File 1'"| ? {$_.InstalledON} |sort InstalledOn | select -last 1 Now, this works on all my hosts (albeit slowly). But I have 1 host, Win 2008 (not R2) where this just returns nothing. No error, no date, nothing. I even turned off the Windows Firewall, and still nothing. Am I missing something basic here? Why would this not work on Win 2008 R2, and would work on Win 2008 R2/Win2012/Win2012 R2? It should be returning a date. Thanks (as an aside, any suggestions for a better way to get the last update installation date would be appreciated. This would need to run on any Powershell v2 or higher, and without any other PS modules installed - my techs need to run this script, and they don't anything about PS or installing modules, etc)
