Computer Info from Powershell

[DigDeep]

@water, your post from here is of good help.

There are few details which are appearing as blank. Could you please help on this?

$Output = $Output & "InstallDate: " & WMIDateStringToDate($objItem.InstallDate) & @CRLF

Maybe you want to know the install date of the operating system?

[Andreik]

You can read this info directly from registry

#include <Date.au3>

MsgBox(0,'',_DateAdd('s',RegRead('HKLM' & ((@OSArch='X64')?('64'):('')) & '\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion','InstallDate'),'1970/01/01 00:00:00'))

@Nessie, Yes.

@Andreik, I have already got all the required results coming through the registry side.

But I am seeing some of the features read from the registry is not appearing correctly on the New Models. Now this is working fine all almost all but regread doesn't on few. Looks like, this needs to be also checked by AutoIT forum.

So, I am trying to get all system details reporting in msinfo32 via the PowerShell.

Well you are referencing a post from 8 years ago, not exactly shocked that it isn't working. How about posting the exact script you're using

If you are going to ask autoit to ask powershell to ask msconfig to ask wmi, why not just ask wmi?

wmic CSPRODUCT GET NAME

or in computersystem with these two:

WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL
WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MANUFACTURER

Ok, it's fixed now.

I had to get it changed

from:

"SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem"

to:

"SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"

Global $GetInstallDate


$wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10
$wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
$colItems = ""
$ComputerName = "localhost"

$Output=""
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem", "WQL", _
                                        $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

If IsObj($colItems) then
   For $objItem In $colItems
        $GetInstallDate = $Output & "InstallDate: " & WMIDateStringToDate($objItem.InstallDate) & @CRLF
        $Output=""
   Next
Else
;~    Msgbox(0,"WMI Output","No WMI Objects Found for class: " & "Win32_ComputerSystemProduct" )
Endif


Func WMIDateStringToDate($dtmDate)
    Return (StringMid($dtmDate, 5, 2) & "/" & _
    StringMid($dtmDate, 7, 2) & "/" & StringLeft($dtmDate, 4) _
    & " " & StringMid($dtmDate, 9, 2) & ":" &  StringMid($dtmDate, 11, 2) & ":" & StringMid($dtmDate,13, 2))
EndFunc


MsgBox(0, '', $GetInstallDate)

same thing on the cli. wmic seems to retrieve faster.  quicker to write as well if you only need one or two things and you can reuse the date formatter because its the same stuff.

$iPid = Run("WMIC OS GET InstallDate" , @ScriptDir , @SW_HIDE , 0x2)

$sOut = ""

Do
    $sOut &= StdoutRead($iPID)
Until @error

msgbox(0, '' , WMIDateStringToDate(stringtrimleft($sOut , 30)))



Func WMIDateStringToDate($dtmDate)
    Return (StringMid($dtmDate, 5, 2) & "/" & _
    StringMid($dtmDate, 7, 2) & "/" & StringLeft($dtmDate, 4) _
    & " " & StringMid($dtmDate, 9, 2) & ":" &  StringMid($dtmDate, 11, 2) & ":" & StringMid($dtmDate,13, 2))
EndFunc
