RetiredGeekHey Y’all,
[Edited:]
From now on you can get the latest version of All my PowerShell programs Here.
If you want to save the link:
[End Edit]
I haven’t posted a new version in quite a while (had to start a new thread) so here’s the latest version 30.25.
Yes, it’s from September 16 but between travel and surgery that’s the last time I worked on it.
FYI: Here’s a link to the original thread.
HTH :cheers:
RetiredGeek. Reason: Edited to include a link to my shared OneDrive folder

Thanks for the catch here’s the revised file: 46440-CMsPCInfoV30-25
I’ve recovered just swimmingly! Tuesday will be 3 months out and the knee is functioning perfectly! Thanks for asking.
:cheers:
access-mdbRG, I’m having problems running this script. I’m running Powershell as an administrator. When I run the script it asks for computer[0]. If i just hit enter it stops. If I enter the computer name it starts up with the message it’s running then the window appears. But a lot of the info is missing. Looking in the PS window there’s loads of errors – but I suspect the first one is generating all the others. It says that it can’t connect to the remote server and specifies my computer’s name and gives an errorcode of 0x8009030e. I very much suspect I’m doing something wrong :p
Good to hear about your recovery!

RetiredGeekAccess,
Try running this program on all your machines. 46539-Enable-PSRemoting
You might also want to read the help either by loading the script into a text editor or using the get-help command, e.g.
get-help d:pathCMsPCInfoV30-25.ps1 -full
HTH :cheers:
access-mdbSorry for the delay, I’ve been a bit busy. I had already run the zipped program but I ran it again. I still get the error, stating it can’t get to the remote computer. But I’m specifying the local host computer. Your help says running the script without parameters gets info from the local computer, and that’s what I’m trying to do. If I try using the -Computers parameter it also fails the same way. Sorry to be such a pain – the script was working in its previous incarnations.

access-mdbFor a bit more info, I ran CMsPCInfo.ps1 from July 2016 and it worked fine. As far as I can see the code getting the computer name as default is identical and using the command Get-Childitem env:computername, it gives me the name of my computer. But it still says it’s a remote server. Below is the first error – there’s lots of others but I think they’re caused by this first one.
New-PSSession : [USS-DEFIANT] Connecting to remote server USS-DEFIANT failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error
with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Negotiate authentication: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
Possible causes are:
-The user name or password specified are invalid.
-Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
-Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
-The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
-The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between the two domains.
After checking for the above issues, try the following:
-Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
-Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts configuration setting or use HTTPS transport.
Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
-For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help config. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
Other Possible Cause:
-The domain or computer name was not included with the specified credential, for example: DOMAINUserName or COMPUTERUserName.

RetiredGeekAccess,
Did you run the Enable-PSRemoting program in post#5?
Here’s an updated version with comment based help included:
Set-PSRemoting.ps1 46582-Set-PSRemoting (note name changed to avoid conflict!)
It should show as a remote as I had to do this go get it to do both local and remote computers w/the same code. The program was very bloated (it’s still pretty long) when I had it checking for local vs remote for almost every operation and running different code for each.
HTH :cheers:
access-mdbRG, yes I did run the enabling script (I said this in #6;);) and I’ve run it a couple of times now. I’ve also run the set remoting script as well, but no change to the problem. What I don’t understand is that the code that finds the computer name is the same in both CMsPCInfo.ps1 and CMsPCInfoV30-25.ps1 but it doesn’t ask for the computer name in the older one (which works fine) but does in the latest one (which doesn’t work). $Env:computername holds the correct name as well.
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[String[]] $Computers = “$Env:COMPUTERNAME”,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]
[Switch] $Quiet,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]
[Switch] $ClearLog,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False)]

RetiredGeekAccess,
I’m away from my computer for most of the day today. However, I think I may have spotted the error.
In the code above try changing the $True to $False.
That will stop it from asking from asking for the computer name and use the default in $env:COMPUTERNAME.
It’s a debug setting I apparently forgot to change in the posted file. If that doesn’t fix it I’ll get right on it when I return home later today.
Thanks again for testing! :clapping:
:cheers:
access-mdbActually I noticed that was different so I made the change and tried it, but to no avail. Just tried it again and it didn’t ask for the computer name (I can’t remember if that happened last time), but it still says it’s a remote server. I would have thought one of the others might have had the same problem. It would be useful to know if anyone has run the script without any issues.

RetiredGeekHey Y’all,
We need another tester to confirm the problem with this code as I can’t get it to error and Access can’t get it to run.
We need someone who only has a single machine not attached to a Peer-to-Peer Network or Domain.
Hope there is someone out there that can give it a go.
Here’s the latest version in zip format: 46594-CMsPCInfo-Files
Note: there are two files make sure both are run from a PowerShell Console that is RunAsAdministrator!
Make sure you run the Set-PSRemoting.ps1 file FIRST and only ONCE.
:cheers:
joep517RG,
I get the two attached errors. I open the PS1*file in Notepad, copy it all, then paste into PowerShell.
--Joe
RetiredGeekJoe,
Thanks for testing!
Don’t know where those came from. Could you try running it from the file?
Place files in your default PS directory.
Start PS as Admin then type:
.Set-PSRemoting.ps1 .CMsPCInfo-PSDev3.ps1
Thanks :cheers:
browniRetiredGeekBrowni,
That is really weird! Could you run it again and look at the PS window, it’s hidden but if you hover over the PS icon on the task bar you can show it, and see if you are getting errors?
Thanks for testing! :cheers:
access-mdbbrownijoep517RG,
It runs without the errors showing but as with Browni there is almost no information in the results. I’ve attached the*saved results with personal information obscured.
--Joe
joep517Oops. Forgot to look at the PowerShell window. I’ve attached the errors from there.
46608-PS_errors
--Joe
RetiredGeekBrowni,
Thanks again!
The problem seems to be since I switched from CIM-Session to PSSession. The old version 20-xx worked fine with PS running as user or admin. 30-xx is having problems and will only run as admin. Of course I can’t get the problem to show up on my 4 machines! :angry:
There is something different in the configuration of your and Access’s computers that will not allow the PSSession to be implemented.
I’d appreciate if you both could run version 20-20: 46602-CMsPCInfoV20-20 and see if it works for you. It should work whether run as Admin or User in PS. Of course you’ll get different results as some features can’t be accessed unless you are Admin.
Below is the output for all the machines on my peer-to-peer lan run with this command:
PS> .CMsPCInfo-PSDev4.ps1 -AutoList -Quiet -ClearLog
The command was run on my main desktop DellXPS8700 from a PS-ISE Admin window.
46604-CMsPCInfoV30-30-for-DELLXPS8700
46605-CMsPCInfoV30-30-for-DELL137000JLT
46606-CMsPCInfoV30-30-for-DELLXPS14Z
46607-CMsPCInfoV30-30-for-BRUCESLT1564
Note the files above indicate version 30-30 which is what they are but run from my development copy which the command shows PSDev4.ps1.
:cheers:
access-mdbRetiredGeekAccess,
I assume you’re talking version 20-20? Did you run it as Admin or as User in PS?
Thanks for testing! :cheers:
access-mdbbrowniRan as admin here
RetiredGeekThanks Guys!
It’s obvious that I need to do more research into the use of the PSSession cmdlets.
I’ll get back if I ever figure out why it works for me but not for you guys.
Thanks once again for your efforts in testing this out. :cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekHey Y’all,
I’ve got my computers setup for standard Peer-to-Peer Networking. Are you using Homegroup or have you stopped the 2 services? :cheers:

Here’s another info gathering command:
winrm s winrm/config/client ‘@{TrustedHosts=”YOUR PC NAME HERE!“}’
Do it from PS as Admin window.

joep517access-mdbjoep517RetiredGeekJoe,
Thanks,
I’ve been through those and my book Mastering PowerShell and still I can’t figure why this works on my machines and nobody else’s!
Today I tried, via TeamViewer, to run the program on my cousins machine with same results 20-20 works 30-20 doesn’t! I even tried to initiate an interactive session via Enter-PSSession and that also failed. This was after entering Enable-PSRemoting -Force -SkipNetworkProfileCheck.
I’m Stumped! :angry:
Thanks again for the references. :cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekEverything sure seems to point to an authentication issue. Have you done any changes to authentication?
Joe,
Not to my knowledge. The only thing I have setup up is that there is the same account on all my machines (UserId & PW) and the Users Documents folders (which have been moved to the G: drive on all machines) are shared. Both HomeGroup services are disabled and standard networking is in use.
:cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekJoe,
No MS Accounts I had to much trouble networking when I had a MS Account on the Insider Ed. laptop. All machines using local accounts w/same UID & PW!
I’m planning, when I get the time, to do a Win 10 Reset, after taking an image, and see what happens on a clean install and try to work from there.
HTH :cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekJoe,
I guess I could.
This morning I took an Image and then did a reset w/keep files.
Versions 18.7, 20.20,20.21 all worked on the Local machine.
Version 30.30 Failed on the New-PSSession command.
Turned on network discovery – Failed
Changed to advanced sharing and shared Documents folder w/authorized users. – Failed
Ran My Enable-PSRemoting.ps1 file – Success
Unshared Documents – Success
Turned off Discovery – Success
Rebooted J-I-C – Success
I’m now in the process of doing another refresh. My plan is to try to run the program out of the box. If that fails I’ll run the Enable-PSRemoting.ps1 file (I do need to change that name to not conflict with the cmdlet!).
More to come… :cheers:
RetiredGeek[Quote]Note: the old version that worked before will no longer work when trying to get to the refreshed laptop from my desktop telling me that the RPC server can not be contacted. I’m sure that is the network settings but will check.[/Quote]
Changing the Laptop to Use Userid/Passwords to connect to other PCs AND Allow Printer & File Sharing fixed that problem as I thought it would, e.g. No HomeGroups!
Now version 30-30 works both locally on the refreshed laptop and remotely from my desktop!
Success, here at least. Hopefully, somebody out there will be able to replicate my results with the above information.
:cheers:
browniIt runs but throws lots of errors
New-PSSession : [IAN-W10] Connecting to remote server IAN-W10 failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot

RetiredGeekIt gets interestinger and interestinger!
Completed a second Refresh and now the program works directly out of the box on the Local Machine!
Of course I can’t connect to that machine from my desktop unless I change the network settings. At least this is what I would have assumed! It works although I do get a rather disconcerting message:
WARNING: Cannot connect to DellXPS14z. Find out if it exists. If so, ensure it i s online or check whether it is affected by firewall settings.
Here’s the output file to prove it: 46649-CMsPCInfoV30-30-for-DELLXPS14Z
Here’s the version I’m using for testing: 46650-CMsPCInfo-PSDev4
Note: the old version that worked before will no longer work when trying to get to the refreshed laptop from my desktop telling me that the RPC server can not be contacted. I’m sure that is the network settings but will check.
So now I’m at a total loss! IDEAS? :cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekBrownie & Joe,
Just finished loading ..031 and the Version 30-30 runs both locally and over the lan from my dekstop.
Advanced Network Settings:
— Laptop running 15032 —
Turn on network discovery.
Turn on File and Printer sharing.
Allow Windows to manage homegroup….
HomeGroup Listener set to Manual and Not currently running
HomeGroup Provider set to Manual(Trigger Start) and currently RUNNING!
— Desktop running 14393 —
Turn on network discovery.
Turn on File and Printer sharing.
Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers.
HomeGroup Listener & HomeGroup Provider Services Disabled
Both machines have an administrator account with the same userid/password combination.
HTH :cheers:
joep517RetiredGeekHey Y’all,
I think I have this thing figured out but I’ll need some testing to confirm.
Here’s what I did to track down the problem:
[List=1]
[*]Did a fresh install of Win 10 Pro Insider 16025 (latest ISO I could find). I actually killed the partitions to insure I got a clean slate. The only settings that were changed are those shown below.
[*]Set-PSRemoting RemoteSigned
[*]Ran version 30-30 and received error on Set-WSManQuickConfig…”One connection type set to public”
[*]Changed to Private via Settings, e.g. Allow discovery!
[*]Run #2 $CS=New-PSSession -ComputerName … caused error.
[*]Run in debug mode and determined that the check for WSMan passing when I was expecting it to fail.
[*]Removed test for WSMan and just allowed Enable-PSRemoting to run reguardless.] *—Success—*
[*]Run #3 provided the name of another computer on the local network – Failed – But the program caught this and provided the appropriate error message. I use Home as my workgroup name and windows defaults to Workgroup. Changed workgroup to Home.
[*]Run #4 can now access other computers on the network.
[*]I was getting everything but I still got an error message, from the program, that the remote computer was unaccessible!
[*]Run again in debug mode stepping through the program. Turns out the code for getting the Windows Update settings was causing this problem. Strangely enough this worked fine when run locally on the same computer :confused:
46751-PCINFO-HomeGroupOn-FileSharingOff
[*]Knowing this worked on my network I changed the advanced sharing settings to Allow Printer and File sharing and Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. —Success— Why this works I surely don’t know but it does.
46752-PCINFO-HomeGroupOff-FileSharingON
[/List]
I plan on working on the code for accessing the WU settings, I borrowed that code, but first I’d like to get another round of testing to verify my tests work out in the wild.
The new program no longer requires any setup program just run it as Administrator with the settings as shown above and in the comments.
Dev-CMsPCInfo.ps1 46750-Dev-CMsPCInfo This is version 40-40 BTW.
Thanks again for testing.
:cheers:
access-mdbHi RG, just tried it straight (no changes and no parameters) and still had the network error – saying this computer is unreachable. Set ‘use user accounts…’ to on, but with a subtly different error
New-PSSession : [USS-DEFIANT] Connecting to remote server USS-DEFIANT failed with the following error message : WinRM
cannot process the request. The following error with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Negotiate
authentication: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
I haven’t tried it with my other PC on the network switched on – should I do so?
You must be learning a lot about Powershell!
Eliminate spare time: start programming PowerShell
RetiredGeekAccess,
It should not make a difference if other computers on the network are turned on or not as long as you aren’t trying to get the program to work on them. Thanks for testing! :cheers:
browniHmmm…
New-PSSession : [IAN-W10] Connecting to remote server IAN-W10 failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot
process the request. The following error with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Negotiate authentication: A
specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
Possible causes are:
-The user name or password specified are invalid.
-Kerberos is used when no authentication method and no user name are specified.
-Kerberos accepts domain user names, but not local user names.
-The Service Principal Name (SPN) for the remote computer name and port does not exist.
-The client and remote computers are in different domains and there is no trust between the two domains.
After checking for the above issues, try the following:
-Check the Event Viewer for events related to authentication.
-Change the authentication method; add the destination computer to the WinRM TrustedHosts configuration setting or
use HTTPS transport.
Note that computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be authenticated.
-For more information about WinRM configuration, run the following command: winrm help config. For more
information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
Other Possible Cause:
-The domain or computer name was not included with the specified credential, for example: DOMAINUserName or
COMPUTERUserName.

RetiredGeekHey Y’all,
I’ve thrown in the towel on this on and have created a version just for the local pc. You can find thethread for that program here.
HTH :cheers:
b0n3vHey Y’all,
I think I have this thing figured out but I’ll need some testing to confirm.
Here’s what I did to track down the problem:
[List=1]
[*]Did a fresh install of Win 10 Pro Insider 16025 (latest ISO I could find). I actually killed the partitions to insure I got a clean slate. The only settings that were changed are those shown below.
[*]Set-PSRemoting RemoteSigned
[*]Ran version 30-30 and received error on Set-WSManQuickConfig…”One connection type set to public”
[*]Changed to Private via Settings, e.g. Allow discovery!
[*]Run #2 $CS=New-PSSession -ComputerName … caused error.
[*]Run in debug mode and determined that the check for WSMan passing when I was expecting it to fail.
[*]Removed test for WSMan and just allowed Enable-PSRemoting to run reguardless.] *—Success—*
[*]Run #3 provided the name of another computer on the local network – Failed – But the program caught this and provided the appropriate error message. I use Home as my workgroup name and windows defaults to Workgroup. Changed workgroup to Home.
[*]Run #4 can now access other computers on the network.
[*]I was getting everything but I still got an error message, from the program, that the remote computer was unaccessible!
[*]Run again in debug mode stepping through the program. Turns out the code for getting the Windows Update settings was causing this problem. Strangely enough this worked fine when run locally on the same computer :confused:
46751-PCINFO-HomeGroupOn-FileSharingOff
[*]Knowing this worked on my network I changed the advanced sharing settings to Allow Printer and File sharing and Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers. —Success— Why this works I surely don’t know but it does.
46752-PCINFO-HomeGroupOff-FileSharingON
[/List]I plan on working on the code for accessing the WU settings, I borrowed that code, but first I’d like to get another round of testing to verify my tests work out in the wild.
The new program no longer requires any setup program just run it as Administrator with the settings as shown above and in the comments.
Dev-CMsPCInfo.ps1 46750-Dev-CMsPCInfo This is version 40-40 BTW.
Thanks again for testing.
:cheers:
Hello, this script look intresting. How can i download the script for test, attachment gives me error… Can you share on cloud or something. Thanks.
.
b0n3vRetiredGeekHey Y’all,
I got a PM from bOn3v asking about my program and then today one from Woody asking about it. I stopped development of the Network version as too many people were having problems setting up PowerShell Remoting and blaming the problems on the program. So I went forward just making it work on the Local PC, stripping out all of the code for remoting also made the program simpler to maintain.
You can still run the program on a remote computer if you have it on a shared drive and run it via a PS Remote Session. The only problem will be where the file, if you choose that option, will be written. The code could be easily changed to write it to a shared location.
Here’s the latest version of the code: CMsLocalPCInfoW10
.zip MD5 Hash: 25FFA044D2CDFBC898EB406F23F646D6
.ps1 MD5 Hash: 1A9DBC53FBFFE23C0B126A57A4EDBF40

wavyRetiredGeekWavy, something is wrong with the link functionality, not sure what as I’m creating them the way I always did. However, you can get the download by clicking the link under Attachments.
HTH 😎
PKCanoRetiredGeekHey Y’all,
Here’s the latest version of the CMsLocalPCInfoW10.ps1 hot off the keyboard. This version fixes the problem with retrieving the AskWoody MS-DefCon value. Now working correctly in PowerShell 5.1 & 7.1.

Rick CorbettRG, This just gets better and better. The wealth of information it grabs is astounding.
Two very small points…
1. It shows my system as Compact… it isn’t.
2. Lines 4794 and 4795 both contain the phrase “at start of program”.
Line 3501 demonstrates how case-insensitive PowerShell is (mostly) as it includes ‘SilentlyCOntinue’.
Perhaps add whether a device is the master browser?
Perhaps add ‘Computer Browser’ and ‘Network List’ to the list of services to check?
Perhaps add network profile info, i.e. whether ‘Private’ or ‘Public’?
Hope this helps…
RetiredGeekRick,
Can’t see why you’re getting that given the code:
$OSCompacted = (& {
If (($OSCompacted -like "*system is in the Compact state*"
).count -eq 1) {"True"}
Else {"False"}})
Your graphic clearly shows the word “not” in there which should not match the pattern.

The pitfalls of testing on a machine w/o 5-G!
If ($SSID -eq "") {
# *** Retrieve SSID ***

$WiFi = netsh wlan show profiles
If ($WiFi -Like "*no wireless interface*") {
$WiFiSettings = "Wi-Fi Information`n" +

}
Else {
$SSArgs = @{InputObject = $WiFi

$SSID = ((Select-String @SSArgs) -split ":")[-1].Trim()
}
} #End If ($SSID -eq "")
Guess I’ll have to program a loop and work through it. Would you mind issuing the – netsh wlan show profiles – command and pasting the results here? That will give me some Idea of what I have to program.
Thanks 😎
RetiredGeekAccess,
If you would please try running the attached script and posting the results.

RetiredGeekAccess,
Thanks for testing. I’ll incorporate that code into the program and post the new version. I can’t remember where it is, somewhere in Network Settings where you can manage mobile networks and you could delete the extra entry. I’ll post back if I can find it. 😎

Rick CorbettRetiredGeekRick,
Just saw this! Don’t know how I missed it?
When I attempt to run this it generates a bunch of errors.
I copied & pasted the script, did you by chance download it somehow?
Oops! It does run mostly in PowerShell 7 Core.
In Windows PowerShell_ISE, generates errors w/no useable output.
In Windows Powershell, it generates errors but does produce barely useable (interspersed with err0r messages) output.
😎
RetiredGeek.
RetiredGeek. Reason: Added screen shot
RetiredGeek.
RetiredGeekRick,
I found I could get rid of the messages by disabling the pkgs option as I don’t have Choco or Scoop installed. I also made some changes the initial testing as to what OS/PS version was running to disable running on the ISE as that doesn’t work.
The author uses some interesting methods in the program that I’m going to have to investigate. I must say it took me a while to even get a small handle on what he was doing! I have sooooo much to learn…
😎

Hi RG,
As you can see from my screenshot, I’m running PowerShell 5.1 so I’m not at all sure why you’ve had issues.
(You probably didn’t see my posts ‘cos ’email notification’ of topic follow-ups seems broken. I just checked and the last email notification of a topic follow-up I received was way back in May 2020, i.e. nearly a year ago.)
b(You probably didn’t see my posts ‘cos ’email notification’ of topic follow-ups seems broken. I just checked and the last email notification of a topic follow-up I received was way back in May 2020, i.e. nearly a year ago.)
Only for you.
I get notifications from subscribed threads every day, and always have.
Rick CorbettRetiredGeekRick,
The major issues were with PowerShell ISE (PS 5 Only). It runs OK with the Console Versions of PS5 & 7 and changing the options fixed the error messages. 😎
RetiredGeekJust updated to version 6.43 to accommodate the changes to the askWood.com website MSDefCon system. You can down load from my OneDrive Shared folder here. You can also get my other programs at the same link. HTH
RetiredGeekHere we go again! Just updated the program to version 6.44. This is due to some fantastic work by our own Will Fastie who created a standard file for information on the MSDefCon level. The program can now easily download a JSON file and quickly parse it for the needed information vs downloading the whole home page and parsing the HTML!
Thanks Will!
The updated program and MD5 hashes are available at the link in the post above or the link in the edited portion of the first post in this thread. Also note that the Get-MSDefCon.ps1 program has also been updated and available at the same link.
HTH 😎
