Hi Teresa, Hi Ed,

I'm very glad to hear that Ed is diving deeper into 2012sg :-)

( Hope you're stilling enjoying life *sss* :-)

Well done Teresa!

Exploring the WMI classes and getting back Hardware information is really one the highlights that Powershell offers ... especially running queries on remote computers!

It's quite a snap in PS to unleash the power of WMI and I hope that future versions of PS will even extent WMI support to optimize information retrieval.

Efficiently working with the console using tab completion, the history and even the mouse is obviously something everybody should know!

Just remember to enable the Quick-Edit Mode of the console window (right click the title bar, choose properties and turn on QuickEdit mode - for this and all equally named windows)

It was fun to read Scripting Wife's articles last year, but this year it's even better because I have no issues to almost replay whole scenes in my head. ;) Glad I had to meet you both last year. :> Waiting for more! :D
