Machine Info / Lookup

Modified my get-serial function to get some more stuff. Added cmdlet bindings and info for get-help

function Get-SystemInfo

{

   [CmdletBinding()]

   Param(

       [parameter(Mandatory = $true)]

       [string] $ComputerName=$(throw '$ComputerName is required'),

       [parameter(Mandatory = $true)]

       [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] $Credential =$(Get-Credential)    )

   $bios = Get-WMIObject -Class "Win32_BIOS" -Computer $ComputerName -Credential $Credential

   $system = get-wmiobject -Class "win32_computersystem" -Computer $ComputerName -Credential $Credential

   $Enclosure = Get-WMIObject -Class "win32_SystemEnclosure" -Computer $ComputerName -Credential $Credential

   $Procs = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Processor" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername $ComputerName -Credential $Credential

   $ADobject = Get-QADComputer -name $ComputerName -Credential $Credential

   #Write-Host $ComputerName", " $system.Manufacturer", " $system.Model", " $bios.SerialNumber

   Write-Host "Machine Name:  " $ComputerName
