How to get remote system information – Part 3
I hope you like the previous two parts of this series. In this part, we will add some extra functionality in the script and a few more changes for clearer output. Until part 2 we are able to get the information from the system, which is show on the screen. We are able to perform some ping tests, using the Test-connection command from PowerShell. And also we are able to have remote desktop connection to the remote system. In part 3 we will add extra functionality such as NetStat, export the results in a text file and email the results to the required recipient.
NetStat functionality
Below is the function that we call to perform the NetStat test. If the administrator will not provide any computer name for remote system, we are using the Get-NetTCPConnection to find our information. As the command does not support to provide a computer name for the connection, then we have to use Invoke-Command to perform the change on the remote system.
$NetStat = {
$ComputerName = $txt_ComputerName.Text
if ($ComputerName -eq ""){
$LocalNetStat = Get-NetTCPConnection
$lbl_sysinfo.Text = "NetStat Information"
$lbl_sysinfo.Text += $LocalNetStat | FT | Out-String}
else{
$RemoteNetStat = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ComputerName -ScriptBlock {Get-NetTCPConnection}
$lbl_sysinfo.Text = "NetStat Information"
$lbl_sysinfo.Text += $RemoteNetStat | FT | Out-String }}Export the results
Until part 2 we were not able able to export our results. Now with the below function we are able to export the results in a text file and you will be able to use them at a later stage to prove what was the status of the system at that time. The file that will be saved will include the system name, date and time and what was the information that we have extracted from the system. The test file will be saved under C:\Scripts. Please note that you need to create the folder before you run the script. If the file already exists, it will be replaced. So you need to make sure if you want to keep both file to save the old one in another place or rename it before exporting the results. During the process of exporting, we are checking if the $ComputerName variable is empty. This happens when we get information from local system. To overcome this issue, we get the system name just before exporting the results to file so the text file that will be exported will have the actual system name.
$TextFile = {
$ExportOption.Close()
if ($ComputerName -eq ""){
$ComputerName = (Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_ComputerSystem).Name}
$lbl_sysinfo.Text | Out-File C:\Scripts\$ComputerName.txt}Email the results
As a second option to provide the results to someone, we are able to email the results to the recipients that we want. By email the results, you will be able to define the recipients that you would like to send the results to. Emailing the results, as you are able to see below is additional to the above method of exporting the result. The results that we see on the screen, are exported in a text file first, using the same procedure above. Then the file is attached in an email, and is sent to the recipients we are providing. First, we use the same code to export the text file as above and then we are defining our parameters that will be used to send the email. In order to enable the option to have multiple domains, we have to split the string based on a specific character. The character that we use is comma (,). After that, we get the credentials of the mailbox that will be used to send the email. This will fill also the “From” parameter for our command.
$Email = {
if ($ComputerName -eq ""){
$ComputerName = (Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_ComputerSystem).Name}
$lbl_sysinfo.Text | Out-File C:\Scripts\$ComputerName.txt
$To = @(($txt_Recipients.Text) -split ',')
$Attachement = "C:\Scripts\$ComputerName.txt"
$Recipients.Close()
$EmailCredentials = Get-Credential
$From = $EmailCredentials.UserName
$EmailParameters = @{
To = $To
Subject = "System Information - $ComputerName"
Body = "Please find attached the information that you have requested."
Attachments = $Attachement
UseSsl = $True
Port = "587"
SmtpServer = "smtp.office365.com"
Credential = $EmailCredentials
From = $From}
send-mailmessage @EmailParameters}In order to achieve the above we have to create another form that we will be able first to select our export option. As you are able to see in the screenshot below, a form appears on the screen when we click the export button showing us the two options that we have. When we select the text file option the file will be exported and the form will close.
If the administrator will select to email the results then another form will appear to enter the recipients to receive the email. If there are multiple recipients, the recipients must be separated with comma (,).
Currently, the script uses Office 365 to send emails and port 587. In case you are using a different configuration then you will need to change the SMTP server and port to the correct one.
Do you like to include some other functions in the script?
If there are some functions that you might like to add, please let me know. I will check if I am able to add them in the script.
You can download the script here or copy it from below.
Hope you like it. If you have any questions or anything else please let me know in the comments below.
Stay tuned for the next part of this series.

Solution / Script:
<# .SYNOPSIS Name: Get-SysInfo.ps1 The purpose of this script is to retrieve information of remote systems. .DESCRIPTION This is a simple script with UI to retrieve information of remote system regarding the hardware, software and peripherals. It will gather hardware specifications, peripherals, installed software, running processes, services and Operating System through a very simple and functioning GUI. You can also perform Ping Test, NetStat, Remote Desktop and export the resutls in a text file or email the results. .RELATED LINKSHome.NOTES Version: 1.3 Updated: 13-03-2018 - Added ability to email results as attachment - Added date and time for the results - Updated Description Updated: 02-03-2018 - Added ability to export result in text file - Added TCP Connection information - Added Title for each information retrieval Updated: 25-02-2018 - Added Fan Information - Added Battery Information - Added Portable Battery Information - Added Network Settings Information - Added ping connection test of remote system - Added Remote Desktop connection to the machine. - Warning for the use of Win32_Product class - Added option for Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms class - Added visibility to Taskbar - Added Help information Release Date: 22-02-2018 Author: Stephanos Constantinou .EXAMPLE Run the Get-SysInfo script to retrieve the information.

Hello Stephanos
This is really nice. i just played with it a bit
Please consider adding a part 4.
a script to poll a list of machines (belonging to an AD group)
and tabulating the results.
I’ll try my hand at it and post back results if i am successful
Dear Habib,
Thank you for your comments.
I will go though the script again and check what additional features I can add.
Thanks
Stephanos
