Script to List ALL Installed Software on a Remote System

Script to List ALL Installed Software on a Remote System

In it's present form, it can be run against only 1 computer at one go and it'll list ALL the installed software on that remote system with Output given to a tab delimited text file which can be imported to newer versions of Excel and converted to a spreadsheet for Filtering and ease of use.

The same can be modified to read off a text file containing a list of computers to check at one go and then return the results.

There are few other ways to get list of installed software from a remote computer: WMI query, wmic tool and PowerShell script.
 
With PowerShell it becomes really powerful: you can query multiple computers at the same time, filter and sort by processes name.
 
For example, query all computers in an AD domain for list of installed software:
Get-ADComputer | ForEach-Object {Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Computer $_.Name}
 
Here is detailed description of the syntax: https://www.action1.com/kb/list_of_installed_software_on_remote_computer.html

I would like to read about the background methods and what the entire process hopes to achive. There is so much available for computer users that increasingly the applications are often not what you expect when downloaded and installed.

I like the script but don't like having to be logged into the remote system with te same ID. Would prefer to use my Admin account to access clients on my network.
