NAME Get-DbaComputerSystem
SYNOPSIS
Gets computer system information from the server.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaComputerSystem [[-ComputerName] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
[[-Credential] <Pscredential>] [-IncludeAws <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Gets computer system information from the server and returns as an object.
PARAMETERS
-ComputerName [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
Target computer(s). If no computer name is specified, the local computer is targeted
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Alternate credential object to use for accessing the target computer(s).
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-IncludeAws [<Switch>]
If computer is hosted in AWS Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), additional information will be included.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
