How to output a list of installed programs on Windows with PowerShell
2015/01/12
Leave a comment
A vanilla script, but including all Win32_Product class properties – a quick search found only a very basic version how to do this in PowerShell:
# to write a installed program listing to a CSV file - just adapt the output dir below Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product |` foreach{ $AssignmentType = $_.AssignmentType $Caption = $_.Caption $Description = $_.Description $IdentifyingNumber = $_.IdentifyingNumber $InstallDate = $_.InstallDate $InstallDate2 = $_.InstallDate2 $InstallLocation = $_.InstallLocation $InstallState = $_.InstallState $HelpLink = $_.HelpLink $HelpTelephone = $_.HelpTelephone $InstallSource = $_.InstallSource $Language = $_.Language $LocalPackage = $_.LocalPackage $Name = $_.Name $PackageCache = $_.PackageCache $PackageCode = $_.PackageCode $PackageName = $_.PackageName $ProductID = $_.ProductID $RegOwner = $_.RegOwner $RegCompany = $_.RegCompany $SKUNumber = $_.SKUNumber $Transforms = $_.Transforms $URLInfoAbout = $_.URLInfoAbout $URLUpdateInfo = $_.URLUpdateInfo $Vendor = $_.Vendor $WordCount = $_.WordCount $Version = $_.Version $Name | Select-Object ` @{n="AssignmentType";e={$AssignmentType}}, @{n="Caption";e={$Caption}}, @{n="Description";e={$Description}}, @{n="IdentifyingNumber";e={$IdentifyingNumber}}, @{n="InstallDate";e={$InstallDate}}, @{n="InstallDate2";e={$InstallDate2}}, @{n="InstallLocation";e={$InstallLocation}}, @{n="InstallState";e={$InstallState}}, @{n="HelpLink";e={$HelpLink}}, @{n="HelpTelephone";e={$HelpTelephone}}, @{n="InstallSource";e={$InstallSource}}, @{n="Language";e={$Language}}, @{n="LocalPackage";e={$LocalPackage}}, @{n="Name";e={$Name}}, @{n="PackageCache";e={$PackageCache}}, @{n="PackageCode";e={$PackageCode}}, @{n="PackageName";e={$PackageName}}, @{n="ProductID";e={$ProductID}}, @{n="RegOwner";e={$RegOwner}}, @{n="RegCompany";e={$RegCompany}}, @{n="SKUNumber";e={$SKUNumber}}, @{n="Transforms";e={$Transforms}}, @{n="URLInfoAbout";e={$URLInfoAbout}}, @{n="URLUpdateInfo";e={$URLUpdateInfo}}, @{n="Vendor";e={$Vendor}}, @{n="WordCount";e={$WordCount}}, @{n="Version";e={$Version}} }| Export-Csv c:\temp\installed-programs.csv -NoTypeInformation

Windows XP user profiles copy to greyed out ?

- Problem:
- For all profiles, not only for the logged in profile… Not likely a permissions problem? I can delete
- Solution:
- “if you’ve ever been logged into a profile without rebooting you won’t be able to copy that profile either. So you might have to restart before you can copy the profile.”
- or use shutdown /r when connecting via MSTSC.

- You can batch export Baseline task sets by right-clicking the baseline and chooosing export from the context menu:
- Choose a download location:
- Open the BES file (which is an XML file) with MS-Excel for better human readability:
- Especially interesting information (highlighted in red here) for your documentation (tracking, potentially troubleshooting…) includes the task “name3” and the underlying Actionscript.

Failure due to timeouts when capturing image from Symantec-Ghost
2012/02/01

- do not thin I Have not seen that before: image capture starts successfully, but client times out in the middle; happens repeatedly both during the day and at night?
- What else to try?
- Solution/workaround: inconclusive. First try w/o Deepfreeze installed and with high compression worked. But third try without any changes had also finally succeeded (although deploying that image was not tested).
