Searching for two objects

05-19-2008

Hello, I'm trying to filter out two services on 60 servers. I'm using the
following:

get-wmi-object -class Win32_service -computer name $remoteserver -filter
"name='xxx'"
but i can only find that one service. i'm having trouble adding the second
object to the filter option. I guess my question is what is correct syntax to
add the second object I'm filtering for?

thanks!

Use WQL's 'Or':

get-wmi-object -class Win32_service -computer name $remoteserver -filter "name='xxx' or name='yyy'"

This should work - just need to add the computername parameter

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='W32Time' or
Name='PlugPlay'" | Format-Table

and change the service names to whatever you need
