I ran the script (search-adcomps-avaya.ps1)<wbr /> and for some of the PCs output this in red:<br />
<br />
Searching Computer: &nbsp;pc2171<br />

What does that mean? PC is unavailable???
</div>


<div>
It means that the PC is not on the network. &nbsp;What happens if you ping &quot;pc171&quot; ?<br />

Ping request could not find host pc2171. Please check the name and try again.

<div>
A quick note - the Win32reg_AddRemovePrograms<wbr /> class is only available if you've installed the SMS or SCCM agent.

I need a PowerShell script which will check for a piece of software on a list of PCs. Below is the software I am looking for, and the attached file is the PC names. Can anyone tell or guide me how PowerShell would read the file and then search each PC for the Avaya software and return a true or false value from the result??? Thanks, Experts. I am a newb when it comes to Powershell. <br />

Powershell HELL!!!!

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
