Creating PowerShell Custom Object to collect information
within PS Script
I wanted to post few examples of PS custom object to be used
as an template to create custom PowerShell objects when needed, perhaps to have
fun with. Using PS object method is pretty straight forward and simple. I will
be listing two ways to create them. As long as you can change the variables and
its collected information to fit into your needs, you could then pull available
properties same way below template is using and export-CSV etc. to manipulate
for your needs.

#(-)_.Collect information $osInfo
= Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem $compInfo
= Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem $diskInfo
= Get-CimInstance Win32_LogicalDisk |
Here is the template you can use to get started.
|
#(1)_.Collect Computer Information $ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME $CompInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $ComputerName $OSinfo
= Get-WmiObject -class win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $ComputerName $BiosInfo = Get-WmiObject -class win32_BIOS -ComputerName $ComputerName $diskInfo = Get-CimInstance Win32_LogicalDisk $NicInfo
= Get-NetIPAddress -CimSession $computername -AddressFamily IPv4 | ` ?{ $_.InterfaceAlias -notmatch 'Loopback'} #(2)_.Object type and a complete listing of
its members. $CompInfo | gm | select name | Out-GridView |
PS Object # Ordered
Hashtable
|
#(4)_.Ordered Hashtable $objectProperty = [ordered]@{ ComputerName = $compInfo.Name Domain = $compInfo.Domain Workgroup = $compInfo.Workgroup DomainJoined = $compInfo.PartOfDomain OS = $osInfo.Caption OSVersion = $osInfo.Version Disks = $diskInfo IPaddresses = $NicInfo.IPaddress } $PSObject1 = New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property $objectProperty $PSObject1 |
PS Object # PSCustomObject
|
# PSCUSTOMOBJECT $PSObject2 = [PSCustomObject]@{ ComputerName = $compInfo.Name Domain = $compInfo.Domain Workgroup = $compInfo.Workgroup DomainJoined = $compInfo.PartOfDomain OS = $osInfo.Caption OSVersion = $osInfo.Version Disks = $diskInfo IPaddresses = $NicInfo.IPaddress } $PSObject2 |
PS Object # PSCustomObject
|
$PSObject3 =@{ ComputerName = $compInfo.Name OS = $osInfo.Caption OSVersion = $osInfo.Version Domain = $compInfo.Domain Workgroup = $compInfo.Workgroup DomainJoined = $compInfo.PartOfDomain } |
