K1000 PS Custom Inventory runs fine in PS, not in KACE
I have a small shell command i'm running to eventually get a date and time.
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName '.' -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter "Special='False'" | select @{Name='LastUsed';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime)}}| sort LastUsed -Descending | select-object -first 1 | format-table –hidetableheadersIt Returns: 7/25/2016 12:57:58 PM
This command works just fine in PowerShell and as a Custom Inventory.
But i needed to change the date to sort properly. So i updated the command to this:
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName '.' -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter "Special='False'" | select @{Name='LastUsed';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime).TOSTRING("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")}}| sort LastUsed -Descending | select-object -first 1 | format-table –hidetableheadersIt returns: 2016-07-25 12:57:58
This one works just fine in Powerhsell, but fails as a Custom Inventory with this error:
'Missing ')' in method call.
At line:1 char:171
+ & {(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName '.' -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter Special=
'False' | select @{Name='LastUsed';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseT
ime).TOSTRING( <<<< yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM)}}| sort LastUsed -Descending | select-obj
ect -first 1 | format-table -hidetableheaders)}
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (CloseParenToken:TokenId) [], Paren
tContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingEndParenthesisInMethodCall
'
Any ideas on how to get around it? It seems to have to do with the double parenthesis inside double parenthesis. But i can't figure out how to get the command written to work in the Custom Inventory.
Here is the actual Custom inventory text for:
The one that works:
ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName '.' -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter "Special='False'" | select @{Name='LastUsed';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime)}}| sort LastUsed -Descending | select-object -first 1 | format-table –hidetableheaders)})That one that doesn't work:
ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {(Get-WmiObject -ComputerName '.' -Class Win32_UserProfile -Filter "Special='False'" | select @{Name='LastUsed';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime).TOSTRING("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")}}| sort LastUsed -Descending | select-object -first 1 | format-table –hidetableheaders)})
