Some remarks :

-f is an operator in PowerShell it wraps the statatic method on a string :

PoSH> [string]::Format('{0}','a')

You can use the following method to format a double digit hex string :

PoSH> "{0:x2}" -f 1

for reference :

For access to classes and remote WMI access you can use the type exelerators using direct path :

PoSH> [wmiclass]'\\server\root\cimv2:Win32_Share'

Win32_Share

PoSH> [wmi]'\\server\root\cimv2:Win32_Share.Name="PoSH"'

Name Path Description

---- ---- -----------

PoSH C:\PowerShell PowerShell

Or you can use .NET directly :

new-object management.managementobject

where you also can use s scope as a helper

New-Object System.Management.ManagementScope

IsConnected Options Path

----------- ------- ----

False System.Management.Connec... \\.\root\cimv2

h.t.h.
