Invoke-Command with Try/Catch and adding to an external array

[jshizzle]

Haha that makes error collection a little easier…! That’s exactly what I was after. Thanks for that.

It seems it didn’t like having the Select-Object properties on separate lines. When I use just the one line the output is as expected:

$results | Select-Object PSComputerName,@{n="IIS";e={[bool]($_.services | Where-Object name -eq "W3SVC")}},@{n="PSVers";e={$_.PSVersion.PSVersion.Major}} | Format-Table -AutoSize

I’m sure there’s a reason but the main thing is that I think this does everything I need now but am sure I’ll be back if it doesn’t

Thanks for bearing with me guys. Much appreciated as always.

Also, I’ve tried your code and the output is not showing information as expected:

services : {System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController, System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController, System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController, System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController…}

PSVersion : {PSRemotingProtocolVersion, BuildVersion, PSCompatibleVersions, PSVersion…}

PSComputerName : ComputerName

RunspaceId : fb32f0bb-da71-42e0-8155-507bdb1c5966

I’m not sure why the RunspaceId is present either as Select-Object should be excluding this.

That looks correct for $results. In PowerShell everything is an object. What is displayed on the screen is just a representation of the object. If you use the property dereference operator, you can access the individual properties. i.e. $results.pscomputername or $results.services. The pipe at the end of the I sent should give you usable output to the screen.

$results |
    Sort-Object PSComputerName
        Select-Object PSComputerName,
                      @{n="IIS";e={[bool]($_.services | Where-Object name -eq "W3SVC")}},
                      @{n="PSVers";e={$_.PSVersion.PSVersion.Major}} |
            Format-Table -AutoSize
