I am posting a new zip of the test code here with some additions to the "Computer" object. ( Link to full project source at end of blog article) [NOTE: this code is not "production" quality yet. I have not guarded against every possible exception and have not tested to guaratee the code won't "hang". The code DOESN NOT change anything in the system or in PowerShell and has not caused any issues after many executions. I amproviding it for you to experiment with and, hopefully, provide some feedback.
I have added OSInfo as a collection of OS information about all things informational to the operating system. ( How's that for a sentence? Never give a programmer a pen and paper!)
With this version of the DLL you can:
PS>$computer=get-computer localhost
PS>$computer
Name IsPingable OSInfo Services
---- ---------- ------ --------
localhost True \\OMEGA\root\c... {Alerter, ALG, AppMgmt, aspnet_...
PS>$computer.osinfo
SystemDirectory : C:\WINDOWS\system32
Organization : Designed Systems & Services
BuildNumber : 2600
RegisteredUser : James Vierra
SerialNumber : 55274-006-6247011-22174
Version : 5.1.2600
We can expand on OSInfo like this: ( please excuse the line wraps.)
PS>$computer.osinfo|gm

As you can see there is plenty of good info here. Very usable and also very usable for testing.
Load the DLL and explores the following:
- $computer=Get-Computer localhost
- $computer.OsInfo | gm
- $computer.Services
- $computer.Services["Browser"].State #or start/stop and other methods
Download project: HERE.
There are dozens of useful methods and properties in a pipeline-able object that can be used to format reports with the Select-Object CmdLet and the Export-CliXML or ConverTo-Html and Export-CSV formatter CmdLets.
