New Powershell Modules (DISM / CIM)

[iamtheky]

*Requires Win 8 or higher, unless there is someway to import the DISM module in lower versions I am unaware of.

As my last thread of powershell efforts was aimed at AD, so this one will be aimed at the DISM module available in Win 8 and above.  Lets begin:

This is the DISM image info command, via powershell, returning an array.

#RequireAdmin
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$sImagePath = 'C:\Users\username\Desktop\WIMs_2008\install.wim'

$sCommands = "powershell get-WindowsImage -ImagePath " & $sImagePath
$iPID = run($sCommands, "", @SW_HIDE , $stdout_child)

$sOutput = ""

 While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then 
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
 WEnd

$aOutput = stringsplit($sOutput , @CR , 2)

 For $i = ubound($aOutput) - 1 to 0 step - 1
If stringleft(stringstripws($aOutput[$i], 1) , 1) = "" Then _ArrayDelete($aOutput, $i)
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aOutput)

no need for comspec

You probably want to add  "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo" to the command line so that it will work on machines where the execution policy is restricted (the default).

Edit: Scratch that, you are running a cmdlet not a script.

I'm working backwards (and slowly), I had high hopes of jumping right into importing your .ps1 and writing powershell scripts that include autoit goodness.  But apparently I suck something fierce at that.  This way it is at least functional.

* An example of using the executionpolicy bypass in this manner to import a custom module, in case someone wants to know more about what Jon was recommending:

CIM (building block of WMI) just got a bit easier,  here is just the antecedent property from LoggedOnUser.

#requireadmin

;get all logged on users

$iPid = run("powershell Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_LoggedOnUser | select antecedent" , "" , @SW_HIDE , 0x2)

$sOutput = ""

 While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd


msgbox(0, '' , $sOutput)

Event log is kind of slow for retrieving a list of all users who have ever accessed a system, so finding other ways:

Quick return of all user/domain strings to access the system

#include<Array.au3>
#RequireAdmin

$iPid = run("powershell get-CimInstance Win32_SystemUsers -Property *" , "" , @SW_HIDE , 0x2)

$sOutput = ""

 While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd

$aOutput = stringsplit($sOutput , @CR , 2)
_ArrayDisplay($aOutput)

all local user profiles and the date of their last access

#include<Array.au3>
#RequireAdmin

$iPid = run("powershell get-CimInstance Win32_UserProfile -Property *" , "" , @SW_HIDE , 0x2)

$sOutput = ""

 While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    WEnd

$aOutput = stringsplit($sOutput , @CR , 2)
_ArrayDisplay($aOutput)

Getting Info from your current windows install, these actions require redirection to be turned off.

WindowsEdition, WindowsDriver, WindowsOptionalFeature, WindowsPackage
