SNOW PowerShell module request

amnich asked a question.

October 3, 2017 at 7:00 AM

I'm working a lot with PowerShell and over the time I wrote my own cmdlet's to work with SNOW Data.

For example:

PS > Get-SNOWComputerDetails -IP 192.168.1.222

Name : COMPUTER001

Manufacturer : Hewlett-Packard

Model : HP Pro 3130 Microtower PC

OperatingSystem : Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

IPAddresses : 192.168.1.222

Organization : RootCompany/My Company

LastScanDate : 2017-10-02 09:59:39

EOL :

AssetNR : 264/01

Localization : Office/3rd floor/HR

....

PS > Get-SNOWObject -Name ProLite

ObjectID : 2110

Name : ProLite XB2483HSU-B2

Org : MY Company

Type : Monitor

LinkedComputer : COMPUTER002

ComputerID : 1105

Localization : Office/3rd floor/HR

EOL : False

SN : 1246860111410

Asset : 482/22

Model : ProLite XB2483HSU-B2

Vendor : IIYAMA

PurchaseDate : 2017-03-01

It would be great if SNOW would create an official PowerShell module for at least SLM. What do you think of that?

Maybe we should make a feature request at SNOW?

Hi Adam, That is great work with PowerShell and Snow products. I agree we should expand our UI to include PowerShell. If you outline what the business need is for this module, I can request a formal feature request internaly. By chance have you use Snow Automation Platform? It is leverages PowerShell to automate day to day functionality of licensing, software deliver, and even user management.

I included the SQL Function in every paste. I make heavy use of the Get-SNOW_Object as searching for objects in SLM is a little bit slow. PS: PS > Get-BGHSNOW_Object -Name Object -ShowInSnow The switch -ShowInSnow opens the default browser with the object in Snow

    Hi , These are great, Have you thought about creating a GitHub Repo for these? Others could then contribute and build the Module up? Snow have started added in there own AP playbooks too: https://github.com/SnowSoftware What issues were you having with the APIs? Did you try getting them to work in Postman ( https://www.getpostman.com/ ) first?

  Hi, I will need some time to take it out from my internal module and sanitize it. Will post back here.

Hi ?, good idea! As you might know there is already the SOAP/REST web API of Snow License Manager that additionally secures your data by requestiong authentication. IMHO this API could be easily encapsulated in PowerShell as well. Best regards, Michael
