Hi Aries,
Glad you liked it! I have not been able to find any documentation on how to change how long it keeps that data, if you find it let me know though!
We ended up just working with the 30 days of data to monitor existing issues more than trend over-time. If management gets more interested the plan was to begin archiving the data off somewhere so we could trace overtime better.

I am going to show you how to make a simple web server in PowerShell that serves the contents of the current directory on any port you choose. You will have optional Active Directory integration so that the HTTP requests sent from the browser respect the NTFS file permissions.

Hi Leos,
As long as the module is installed on the remote PCs I would expect it to work as expected with PSRemoting.
It would work with MSIs from a UNC share but of course I would not recommend using it over a slow internet connection like you had mentioned. I would not expect to see any network performance benefits when downloading files over UNC over using something like msiexec.
That being said, the author of the module might be able to answer your question more directly and I am sure he would appreciate you filing an issue on Github if you do find any bugs with the software or have any feature requests.

The built-in PowerShell Package Manager is unreliable when it comes to installing and removing software packages in the MSI format. However, there is an excellent open source Windows Installer PowerShell module provided by Heath Stewart for performing many tasks with MSI installers and MSI-based installations.

Accepting file and folder paths as a parameter is a pretty common occurrence in PowerShell scripts. Without validating these parameters, your script might not work as indented.

Hey CMI,
Great question! It will definitely scale. The queries are pretty low impact on the clients they are requesting info from and the reporting of course is pretty simple data.
We moved to using our client management solution Symantec’s SMP to collecting the information from the WMI classes because we needed to scale it globally from 5k clients and collect info when off the corporate network. SCCM would also let you inventory the two WMI classes you need.
As long as the machines are pingable from the computer you are running this script from it should scale fine to at least 200.

Thanks for the comment William. Glad it’s working out well for you! I have not really done much on YouTube but I’m curious to know what else you would like to see.

Thanks Matt! I’m really curious about what reliability score other people are averaging at. We seem to be between 7.5 and 8.

Too often, IT administrators rely purely on ticket submissions to determine whether Windows clients work reliably. What I want to show you here is how you can use PowerShell to monitor system stability on multiple computers by tracking reliability indicators such as applications crashes, hanging applications, and blue screens of death (BSODs).
