asked on

Need help making a program or form for inventory that exports to txt

Need a form-or program that asks questions as it relates to inventory.
This would be the (prefix) section.

It would ask all Prefix data
example  (Site code)   or prefix of server name xxx-xxx###-domain.com
It would ask what domain suffix
Asks which Networks to include in Inventory.
      iSCSI 1
      iSCSI 2
      DRAC
      MGMT
      VMOTION 1
      VMOTION 2
      Heartbeat
      Server type
      Server location
      Server Rack
      Operating System
      Warranty

It would ask for the prefix of each network and subnet /24 along with VLAN
example iSCSI 192.168.2 would be prefix, then after all prefixes are entered. the unique entries are only entered.
Make a form that has all the following
Once all has been entered, you can export to a txt file or csv where it could be imported into another program

So what have you done so far? Please post the code and the question you are having issues with.
If you want to have code written for you then go to the section of EE concerning 'gigs' and ask for offers.

Can powershell use forms? Any thoughts on the best way to create this so I can get started?
Do you know VB.Net or C# programming languages?
