output issues

We have a PowerShell Studio form that collects lots of data from machines. We are trying to gather TPM information from machines. So I added a button that has this code behind it.
Code: Select all
$buttonTPMStatus_Click={
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$richtextbox_output.Clear()
$TPM = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $TextPC -ScriptBlock {
Get-Tpm | Select-Object PSComputerName, RunspaceId, TpmPresent, TpmReady, ManufacturerId, ManufacturerIdTxt, ManufacturerVersion, ManufacturerVersionFull20, ManagedAuthLevel, OwnerAuth, OwnerClearDisabled, AutoProvisioning, LockedOut, LockoutHealTime, LockoutCount, LockoutMax } | Out-String
$richtextbox_output.AppendText($TPM)
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}
When I run this it only returns the following in the RichTextBox
TpmPresent : True
TpmReady : False
ManufacturerId : 1464156928
ManufacturerIdTxt : WEC
Why? When I run the same code in PowerShell ISE it returns this.
Code: Select all
TpmPresent : True
TpmReady : False
ManufacturerId : 1464156928
ManufacturerIdTxt : WEC
ManufacturerVersion : 5.81
ManufacturerVersionFull20 : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
ManagedAuthLevel : Full
OwnerClearDisabled : True
AutoProvisioning : Enabled
LockedOut : False
LockoutHealTime : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
LockoutCount : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
LockoutMax : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
PSComputerName : bo-fao4r46ch2-d
RunspaceId : a0970be0-1e88-46a1-8169-4525f5a2f02f

Works fine for me. Perhaps you need a bigger textbox.
I would do it this way:
Code: Select all
$props = @(
'PSComputerName',
'RunspaceId',
'TpmPresent',
'TpmReady',
'ManufacturerId',
'ManufacturerIdTxt',
'ManufacturerVersion',
'ManufacturerVersionFull20',
'ManagedAuthLevel',
'OwnerAuth',
'OwnerClearDisabled',
'AutoProvisioning',
'LockedOut',
'LockoutHealTime',
'LockoutCount',
'LockoutMax'
)
$buttonGetTPM_Click={
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$richtextbox_output.Clear()
$tpm_lines = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer.Text -ScriptBlock {Get-Tpm } |
Select-Object $props | Out-String
$richtextbox_output.Lines = $tpm_lines
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}

using your code my output looks like this:
Code: Select all
PSComputerName : mypc
RunspaceId : f0b08ec5-02d8-4a4c-8b71-d3ead76f3840
TpmPresent : True
TpmReady : False
ManufacturerId : 1464156928
ManufacturerIdTxt : WEC
My richtextbox output window is big enough. Plus it will scroll. I have other buttons that dump hundreds of lines into it and they all display.

Post the exact code you used. My code does not do that when I run it.

I have put the array both inside and outside of the ButtonClick Event. I get the same results.
Code: Select all
$props = @(
'PSComputerName',
'RunspaceId',
'TpmPresent',
'TpmReady',
'ManufacturerId',
'ManufacturerIdTxt',
'ManufacturerVersion',
'ManufacturerVersionFull20',
'ManagedAuthLevel',
'OwnerAuth',
'OwnerClearDisabled',
'AutoProvisioning',
'LockedOut',
'LockoutHealTime',
'LockoutCount',
'LockoutMax'
)
$buttonTPMStatus_Click = {
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$richtextbox_output.Clear()
$tpm_lines = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $PCNameBox.Text -ScriptBlock { Get-Tpm } |
Select-Object $props | Out-String
$richtextbox_output.Lines = $tpm_lines
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}

Works fine for me. Set all RTB properties back to default and try again. Be sure "Multiline" is set to $true.

Product: PowerShell Studio 2018 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.5.155
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.16299.0
I created a brand new form that has 1 button and 1 richtextbox. All RTB properties are set to default.
I have this code.
Code: Select all
$button1_Click={
if (test-path c:\temp\tpm.txt) { remove-item c:\temp\tpm.txt }
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$richtextbox1.Clear()
Invoke-Command -ComputerName "MyComputer" -ScriptBlock { Get-Tpm } | Out-File c:\temp\TPM.txt
$GetTPMData = Get-Content c:\temp\tpm.txt
$GetTPMData | Out-String
$richtextbox1.AppendText($GetTPMData)
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}
The TPM.txt file gets created and looks like this: (note: there are several blank lines at the top)
Code: Select all
PSComputerName : MyComputer
RunspaceId : eea87612-e378-4e3e-ba53-3aa7b6ddfc76
TpmPresent : True
TpmReady : False
ManufacturerId : 1464156928
ManufacturerIdTxt : WEC
ManufacturerVersion : 5.81
ManufacturerVersionFull20 : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
ManagedAuthLevel : Full
OwnerAuth :
OwnerClearDisabled : False
AutoProvisioning : Enabled
LockedOut : False
LockoutHealTime : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
LockoutCount : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
LockoutMax : Not Supported for TPM 1.2
SelfTest : {255, 1, 2, 5...}
Yet what is displayed in the RTB is this:
Code: Select all
PSComputerName : MyComputer RunspaceId : 4c267e6d-27b7-4b7c-b7e9-ed5358ac1331 TpmPresent : True TpmReady : False ManufacturerId : 1464156928 ManufacturerIdTxt : WEC

Yes - the TPM object cannot be displayed in a form correctly. I can reproduce the results.
The issue is that the middle of the results contains a large string of null characters which breaks the output. Open the file in a binary editor to see what I mean.

Here is a work-around:
Code: Select all
$buttonGetTPM_Click={
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$tpm_lines = Invoke-Command -ComputerName alpha -ScriptBlock { Get-Tpm }
$richtextbox_output.Lines = $tpm_lines[0] | Out-String | %{$_ -replace '\0'}
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}

Also this works:
Code: Select all
$props = @(
'PSComputerName',
'RunspaceId',
'TpmPresent',
'TpmReady',
'ManufacturerId',
'ManufacturerIdTxt',
#'ManufacturerVersion',
#'ManufacturerVersionFull20',
'ManagedAuthLevel',
'OwnerAuth',
'OwnerClearDisabled',
'AutoProvisioning',
'LockedOut',
'LockoutHealTime',
'LockoutCount',
'LockoutMax'
)
$buttonGetTPM_Click={
$statusbar1.text = 'Getting TPM status, please wait...'
$tpm_lines = Invoke-Command -ComputerName MyPC-ScriptBlock { Get-Tpm }
$richtextbox_output.Lines = $tpm_lines | Select $props |Out-String
$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
}
