I'm trying to detect the powersettings for a PC
Code: Select all
$PowerSetting = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer { (powercfg /l | ? { $_.Contains('*') -and $_.Contains('GUID') }).Split()[3] }
$statusbar1.Text = "Finding Power Setting"
$PowerSetting = switch ($PowerSetting.trim())
{
"381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e" { "Balanced" }
"8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c" { "High Performace" }
"a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a" { "Power Saver" }
}
$statusbar1.Text = "$($textbox1.text) power setting is $PowerSetting"
if ($PowerSetting -eq "Balanced")
{
$radiobuttonHighPerformace.Checked =$true
}
if ($PowerSetting -eq "Power Saver")
{
$radiobuttonHighPerformace.Checked =$true
}
else
{
$radiobuttonBalanced.Checked =$true
}
The current computer I'm working on, it's currently set to Balanced, but the radiobutton doesn't change to High Performace

I suggest that stepping through with the debugger would give you the answer.
This article will show you how to use WMI to easily get the power settings:

You have an if instead of an elseif on the "Power Saver" line:
if ($PowerSetting -eq "Balanced")
{
$radiobuttonHighPerformace.Checked = $true
}
elseif ($PowerSetting -eq "Power Saver")
{
$radiobuttonHighPerformace.Checked = $true
}
else
{
$radiobuttonBalanced.Checked = $true
}

A quick look says you have numerous spelling and naming issues. Review the code line-by-line and word-by-word to find all.
Be sure your code names match the GUI designer names.

GWMI doesn't work on all our PCs or I would have went with that.

Looks like this did it... Thank you!

This would be the better way to use the code:
Code: Select all
$sb = { (powercfg /l | ? { $_.Contains('*') -and $_.Contains('GUID') }).Split()[3] }
$powerSetting = Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $sb -ComputerName $computer
$statusbar1.Text = 'Finding Power Setting'
switch ($powerSetting){
'381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e' {
$statusbar1.Text = $setting = 'Balanced'
$radiobuttonBalanced.Checked =$true
}
'8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c' {
$statusbar1.Text = $setting = 'High Performace'
$radiobuttonHighPerformance.Checked =$true
}
'a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a' {
$statusbar1.Text = $setting = 'Power Saver'
$radiobuttonPowerSaver.Checked =$true
}
default { $statusbar1.Text = 'Settings not found' }
}
$statusbar1.Text = "$($textbox1.text) power setting is $setting"
This avoids most issues of using an "if" construct and is more explicit and easier to manage.

That's very cool.. I did not know you can use a switch statement like that.
Thanks!!!!

One of the first thing we learn in any PowerShell book or training is how to use the switch statement. It is one of the most useful control structures in all programming languages and is on steroids in PowerShell
