Get the Manufacturer Details for a list of servers

 Many a times we need to check whether a server is physical, virtual, or on Cloud. we can get the details by checking the manufacturer of the server from the systeminfo, but if you want to check the details for a list of servers it becomes a tedious task.

Here we came up with a PowerShell script that queries the Win32_Computersystem WMI Class of that server and gets the manufacturer details in a CSV file.

Please find below the Powershell script which fetches the Manufacturer details for a list of servers provided in a text file as an input and gives the CSV file with the details in the output.

	$Results = @()
	$servers = Get-Content C:\Script\list.txt
	foreach($server in $servers)
	{
	Try
	{
	$Manufacturer = Get-WmiObject WIn32_computerSystem -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction Stop | Select -ExpandProperty Manufacturer
	}
	Catch
	{
	$Manufacturer = "Server not reachable or not Windows Server"
	}
	$Properties = @{
	ServerName = $server
	Manufacturer = $Manufacturer
	}
	$Results += New-Object psobject -Property $Properties
	}
	$Results | Select-Object ServerName,Manufacturer | Export-Csv C:\Script\Detaiils.csv -NoTypeInformation
