Find all Windows Server R2 servers in the domain and differentiate which are the physical machines, those that are virtual machines

implemented by using Get-adcomputer and get-wmiobject combinations.

The idea is this, first look at the property value of a server what is available to use.

See here to know which property value to use, filter, with a wildcard expression or any one can take this value to catch the condition can be, and then use a SELECT statement to select the name.

$computer = get-adcomputer-filter {operatingsystem-like "*20*"} | Select-expandproperty Name

Then run the Get-wmiobject and the results are as follows:

[12R2-DC]: PS c:\> get-wmiobject-class Win32_ComputerSystem

Domain:abc.com

Manufacturer:microsoft Corporation

Model:virtual Machine

Name:12r2-dc

Primaryownername:windows User

totalphysicalmemory:2094039040

Then think of, if the variable $computer pass in, and then expose two properties, will produce a result set, of course, you are willing to output to the file itself and then the pipe character output just.

Invoke-command-computername $computer {get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem}-erroraction silentlycontinue | Select Name,model | Sort model

The result is:

Name Model
