It has been a while since my last post, life got in the way of blogging for few months. Will be back blogging more regularly again.
I found out about a cmdlet recently that I can’t believe I never knew about. The cmdlet is Get-ComputerInfo. Thanks to Don for letting me know about it. The cmdlet was released in Windows PowerShell 5.1.
Get-ComputerInfo
Below is a small sample of the output.

If you’re looking for information about your system and you have Windows PowerShell 5.1 or 6, Get-ComputerInfo
is a great place to start.
You might not need to use Get-CimInstance or Get-WMIObject. Hopefully you can save some time using Get-ComputerInfo
Hope you’re having a great day and this is of use.
Thanks, Tim.
