i m trying to retrieve computer objects that is NOT server OS. That is
results shld be windows 2000 prof, xp, vista, etc

get-qadcomputer -sizelimit 0 | where {$_.osname -ne '*server*'} | select
osname, osservicepack.




Somehow it does not work. i suspect it has something to do with $_osname ?

Hi IT,

Replace -ne with -notlike


Or better, use ldap filter:

get-qadcomputer -sizelimit 0 -ldap '(!operatingSystem=*server*)' | select
name,osname, osservicepack
