Display the Operating system version

By Fredrik Wall

This is a short but nice PowerShell script.
It displays the os version by retrieving the build number.

It’s easy to add more Operating systems by just adding the Build number and name.

Using win32_operatingsystem (WMI) to get OS information

By Fredrik Wall

I have made a little screencast without sound that shows how easy It is to get information about the Operating System by using WMI.

Get more information at:

Display the Operating system version (as a function)

By Fredrik Wall

Almost the same as the last post. But this time we have It as a function.

Is this a song about me?

By Fredrik Wall

While browsing the internet this morning I came a cross of this master piece of song.
http://landofsilly.mypodcast.com/2009/01/PowerShell_Wizard-177292.html

It’s called PowerShell Wizard and It’s from the guys at Land of Silly.

Powershell Wizard

Ever since I was a young guy,
I fell in love with the machine
From Commodores to Inspirons and all those in between
But I’m so blown away
I fainted and I fell
It’s a Blinking llttle cursor
And they call it PowerShell!

 

This could be a song about me

By Fredrik Wall

I’m a fan of Windows, but not a fanatic fan.

Bloggar.se tags

By Fredrik Wall

Tidigare använde jag Technorati Tags både på min Svenska och Engelska blogg.
Men efter att ha sett att resultaten på träffar blir bättre från den Svenska bloggen med bloggar.se,
så har jag bytt och kör numera med bloggar.se här också.

Det är riktigt enkelt att fixa detta om man som jag bloggar med Windows Live Writer:

1. Klicka på Insert Tags…

   

2. Under Tag Provider, välj (Costomize Providers…)

   

3. Välj Add och fyll i enligt bilden:

   

4. För att dina taggade postningar ska hamna på bloggar.se
   så måste du se till att du pingar nyligen.se när du postar dina bloggningar.
5. Nu är det bara att klicka på Insert Tags… och välja vad du vill ha för tags i din bloggpostning.
