| | RE: softwares installed on a remote system Hi Richard, The remote system os is windows 2003. But this command is not working for any of the remote system. To run locally on the remote system, i have to install powershell there also. I think there might be a syntax mistake. Can you please help me out?

| | Re: softwares installed on a remote system Agree. In addition, You might get only a small portion of products since win32_product lists only products that were installed via Windows Installer.
