Hi All,
I'm new to Powershell and I've been playing around with scripts all week but not having a scripting background I'm really not sure what I'm doing. I located the below script in another one of the topics under Powershell. I've chopped and changed bits of it and just can't seem to quite get it. I must say staring at it for a week I feel like I'm starting to understand some of it. I need help expanding on it. It works for retrieving more than 1 value from the same class and inserts the values. What I need to do is to be able to retrieve values from other classes and insert the result in to the appropriate table column. Any help / advice would be so appreciated. I'm not sure quite what the etiquette is for the forum. All I can say is I am a newbie and need some help.
$servernames = Get-WmiObject -computername Anycompname -class win32_ComputerSystem | Select Name, Manufacturer
# Open Connection
$conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$connectionString = "Server=;Database=;user=;pwd=;"
$conn.ConnectionString = $connectionString
$conn.Open()
# Create the Command object to execute the queries
$cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$cmd.Connection = $conn
$cmd.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::Text
# Write Data
foreach ($servername in $servernames)
{
# Compose Query for this $servername - watch the single quotes for string values!!
$query = "INSERT INTO dbo.U_Server (ServerName, OSVersion) VALUES ('" + $servername.Name + "', '" + $servername.Manufacturer + "')"
# Uncomment next line to display query for checking
$query
# Setup Command
$cmd.CommandText = $query
# Execute Command to insert data for this $drive
$result = $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
}
# Tidy Up
$conn.Close()

Hi Nicholas,
It may be just me but I cannot see exactly what you want from anyone. Where is the problem in the script and what exactly is that problem?
I'd love to help but I think that your post is too general (although posting the script was great).

Hi Gary,
Sorry for not being clear. The script as is works for a single wmi class and I understand how to pull more than one value from that class and put it in sql.
I need to pull data from a number of different values across a number of different classes. I just don't know how to go about that and then write those results between two different tables each with 3 columns.
Again any help would be so greatly appreciated. Just enough to get me going.
