Examples

Example 1: Display the identity of all installed software

PS C:\> Get-SilSoftware


ID             : {6B6533BD-1680-4368-908E-D50977561A86}

This command displays the point in time identity of all software installed on the host server.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
