I’ve got quite a few scripts I run, remotely, locally, etc.
Is there any way to, on a line-by-line basis perhaps, supply an additional piece of info for a workstation, to be utilized in a script?
One example would be to pre-specify a string for a script to change the workstation description inside powershell.
Currently, i’ve got this in Get-Information:
cmd.exe /c echo . | powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -command “$x=gwmi win32_operatingsystem;$x.description=”[WORKSTATION DESCRIPTION HERE]”;$x.Put();”
It works, but it’s clunky as I’ve gotta rewrite the description every time. Ideally, a popup requesting the description would be handy. $x.description=”$input” or something.
Just looking for some best practice or suggestions. Thanks!
We have plans for a solution to this problem in a future version of the app. I’m not sure exactly what the timeline for implementation/release is.

Yes, so currently there is only $computer for local commands, which pulls the host column value. However, in a future version we will likely add the ability to pull from a number of the other columns, such as $notes, $notes2, $description, $location etc. And they would be usable in not only local commands but also remote commands and get info commands.

Actually, coincidentally it’s already been added to the next version, which is coming soon. That is… in addition to $computer the ability to use $notes, $notes2, $location, $category, $description in local command/remote command/getinfo query/deployment.

Is it possible to run a remote command using a “prompted” variable? like Read-Host ….. in powershell?
No.
