Recently I shared a replacement function<\/a> I wrote for Test-WSMan<\/a>. That version addressed some of the shortcomings in the original command, at least for me. After using it for a bit I realized I wanted a few additional changes so I now have version 2. The new version now supports multiple computer names. I also replaced the ProductVersion property with separate properties for the OS, Service Pack and Stack numbers.<\/p>\n

I used regular expressions to parse the original property.<\/p>\n

#parse the product version line into separate properties\r\n[regex]$rx = \"OS:\\s(?\\S+)\\sSP:\\s(?\\d\\.\\d)\\sStack:\\s(?\\d\\.\\d)\"\r\n$pv = $test.productVersion\r\n        \r\n[string]$os = ($rx.Matches($pv)).foreach({$_.groups[\"OS\"].value})\r\n\r\n#force these as strings and later treat them as [decimal]\r\n[string]$sp = ($rx.Matches($pv)).foreach({$_.groups[\"SP\"].value})\r\n[string]$stack = ($rx.Matches($pv)).foreach({$_.groups[\"Stack\"].value})\r\n<\/pre>\n
The\u00a0 final output drops the ProductVersion property in favor of these properties. This makes it easier to filter out older computers.<\/p>\n

I've updated the help with a few other examples. The new version is still on GitHub as a gist.<\/p>\n
