Hello,
I found a power shell script that give me the serial number, model, make of the monitor on attached to the pc. I want to run this on our network and have the output save to a folder on c drive. Can someone help with the output save to c drive side. thank you.
here is the power Shell script:
function Decode {
If ($args[0] -is [System.Array]) {
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($args[0])
}
Else {
"Not Found"
}
}
echo "Name, Serial"
ForEach ($Monitor in Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi) {
$Name = Decode $Monitor.UserFriendlyName -notmatch 0
$Serial = Decode $Monitor.SerialNumberID -notmatch 0
$Manufacturer = Decode $Monitor.ManufacturerName -notmatch 0
$User = $Monitor.PSComputerName
echo "$User, $Manufacturer, $Name, $Serial"
}

This will print the results to a text file called "psresults" in the root of C:
$(function Decode {
If ($args[0] -is [System.Array]) {
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($args[0])
}
Else {
"Not Found"
}
}
echo "Name, Serial"
ForEach ($Monitor in Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi) {
$Name = Decode $Monitor.UserFriendlyName -notmatch 0
$Serial = Decode $Monitor.SerialNumberID -notmatch 0
$Manufacturer = Decode $Monitor.ManufacturerName -notmatch 0
$User = $Monitor.PSComputerName
echo "$User, $Manufacturer, $Name, $Serial"
}
) *>&1 > C:\psresults.txt

retried, works fine here.
1-Make sure you are running PS as administrator
2- Make sure you are running the Script on a Physical Device, for VMs will not work

Running as admin is only needed because the file is being saved to c:\. Just change the location off of root and it'll save with a non elevated PS. Otherwise it works fine for me. - five. 5 years ago

Thank you I found what was wrong. I did not put $(function .... in the beginning. It is working. - Kdebiasse 5 years ago
