Question

I am using Get-WmiObject Win32_service and piping the output to CSV.
My script is collecting services running, but I would like to display osname, ip and domain for the object on the same line in my csv (so I can easily sort with Excel).

Is there a way I can combine the two?

Get-WmiObject Win32_Computersystem
Get-WmiObject Win32_service

Or maybe I could sneak in some variables from my Get-QADComputer into this line:

Get-WmiObject Win32_service -Computername $server.name -Filter "State='Running'" | select -Property SystemName,Name,Status,State,Startmode,DisplayName | Export-Csv -Append -NoClobber -NoTypeInformation -Path $reportfile

?

Use the New-Object cmdlet to create new object for each service object and add the properties you want (osname) from the Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class (os caption is not avaiable in the Win32_ComputerSystem class).

$ComputerName = 'PC1'

$os = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $ComputerName

Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -ComputerName $ComputerName -Filter "State='Running'" | Foreach-Object{

    New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
        SystemName=$_.SystemName
        Name=$_.Name
        Status=$_.Status
        State=$_.State
        StartMode=$_.Startmode
        DisplayName=$_.DisplayName
        IPAddress = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($_.SystemName)[0].IPAddressToString
        OSName = $os.Caption            
    } | Select-Object SystemName,Name,Status,State,StartMode,DisplayName,IPAddress,OSName

} | Export-Csv -Append -NoClobber -NoTypeInformation -Path $reportfile
