Inventory Solution 7 and Powershell
Created: 02 Jun 2009 | 6 comments
I created a custom inventory in CMS 7 using powershell and it would not submit data for some reason. I spoke with support and they said that powershell 1.0 does not support variant types and so cannot be used for custom inventory purposes. Powershell 2.0 will support variant types but for now vbscript is the only option available. Just a heads up.

EXAMPLE Powershell - NS 7 Custom Inventroy
Has anyone used powershell script with NS 7 custom inventory? Would anyone like to share their experiencing using powershell with NS7. I am looking to find sample of powershell script that has been used with NS7. I have very simple powershell I would like to use with NS7.
I have not done anything
I have not done anything further with powershell yet. I have found that a lot of our custom inventory information is now collected by default.
