    • With the death of WMIC

    in Scripts

    Hi All,

    With M$ deprecating WMIC, instead of fighting it, I've decided to go with it and use powershell alternatives to do something I've automated for years:

    WMIC CSPRODUCT get name,vendor,identifyingnumber

    We don't allow unsigned powershell scripts and most of the solutions I've found are multi line scripts. Is there a single line powershell command that I can run from a batch file to get this basic information? Since I'm running the powershell command from a batch file command, the total command has to be under ?255 characters? or something like that.

    Thanks,

    Jeff

      Wow, I figured someone would slap out a .PS1 script for me so quick that I'd get dizzy, but I guess people are just enabling WMIC on Windows 11's newest builds. I don't blame people sticking with WMIC because PowerShell is a giant time-wasting beast. Here is the command I figured out that gave me the same basic output as my WNIC csproduct get name,vendor,identifyingnumber command that I've used for years:

      PowerShell -Command "Get-ComputerInfo -Property CSDNSHOSTNAME,BiosManufacturer,CsModel,BiosSeralNumber

      As you may note, I'm running it from a batch file due to our organization blocking unsigned scripts. The output looks like this:

      I hope this helps.
