Get Processor (CPU) Information Using PowerShell Script

Working in a multiserver environment demands very often to have an easy and fast method to collect information about the servers’ hardware, particularly CPU properties. PowerShell is a very handy tool in that sense, especially when the client’s SLA (Service Level Agreement) is so strict that you cannot install any 3rd party software to do the job.

In order to collect processor (CPU) properties information using PowerShell, we use either WMI or CIM classes, Win32_Processor or CIM_Processor respectively.

Get CPU Information Using PowerShell – Solutions

Here are a few solutions:

Solution 1 – Get CPU Information For The Local Machine Using PowerShell.

We call Get-CimInstance CmdLet and get the necessary data from CIM_Processor CIM Class.

Get-CimInstance -ComputerName localhost -Class CIM_Processor -ErrorAction Stop | Select-Object *

Here is the resultset for the local machine:

Solution 2 – Get CPU Information For Remote Computers Using PowerShell

Create the list of servers in the text file and save in, for example, C:\Temp folder and run the same command as in the previous solution just use ComputerName parameter in addition. We basically load the content of the text file using Get-Content CmdLet and PowerShell will go through the list and run the same command as in the previous solution for each server on the list.

Get-CimInstance -Class CIM_Processor -ErrorAction Stop -ComputerName (Get-Content -Path C:\Temp\servers.txt) | Select-Object * | Out-GridView

Here is the resultset for the list of servers:

I do not have servers in my home network so in order to simulate one I have created a very simple input list of servers in a text file just copying the localhost value several times.

Solution 3 – Write Own PowerShell CmdLet ( Get-CPUInfo ) To Get CPU Properties Using PowerShell

This is my favorite method. It takes some time to write the code but it pays off in the long run with its reusability and can be combined with the library of other own CmdLets.

I have written my own CmdLet Get-CPUInfo CmdLet that I will explain to you shortly.

Here is one example of calling Get-CPUInfo CmdLet:

Get-CPUInfo -filename "OKFINservers.txt" -errorlog -client "OK" -solution "FIN" -Verbose | Select-Object 'Environment', 'Logical Name', 'Server Name', 'CPU', 'CPU ID', 'Number of CPU cores', '64 or 32 bits', 'IP', 'Collected'   | Out-GridView

Here is the resultset while calling Get-CPUInfo CmdLet:

Here is the list of properties that are returned with the PowerShell scripts.

INFO: I have written two PowerShell Add-on functions ( Get-CIMClassProperty and Select-CIMClassAllProperties) that help us working with WMI and CIM classes. First list all the properties and datatypes of WMI or CIM classes and the second one makes the select statements with all the properties for the WMI or CIM class. How To List CIM Or WMI Class All Properties And Their Datatypes With PowerShell AND How To Write Select Statement For All Properties Of CIM Or WMI Class With PowerShell.

Get-CPUInfo CmdLet Explained

Get-CPUInfo CmdLet collects CPU properties information for the list of servers and this CmdLet belongs to Efficiency Booster PowerShell Project. This project is the library of different CmdLets that can help us IT personal to do our everyday tasks more efficiently and accurately.

Source code for Get-CPUInfo CmdLet can be downloaded from this zip file so please feel free to download it and it would be easier for you to follow me along.

Get-CPUInfo CmdLet is part of Common module and if you have downloaded the source code it can be found in the folder …\[My] Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\03common

INFO: If you want to know how to install and configure Efficiency Booster PowerShell Project files please read the following article: How To Install And Configure PowerShell: CmdLets, Modules, Profiles.

Get-CPUInfo CmdLet – Input Parameters

As input parameters we have:

• computers – it is a list of servers passed as input parameter with default value ‘localhost’ and accepts both pipeline options. Parameter belongs to the “ServerNames” parameter set. The “ServerNames” parameter set is the default parameter set.
• filename – it is the name of the text file with the list of servers and represents an alternative option to the “computers” parameter. The parameter belongs to the “FileName” parameter set.
• errorlog – switch datatype and when turned on it will write errors into an external error log file using Write-ErrorLog CmdLet. The error log file is located in the PSLogs folder of [My] Documents.
• client – it is a mandatory input parameter and by convention, I use two letters for client shortcode (for example, OK = O client, BK = B client, etc.). This parameter value is part of the filename parameter naming convention.
• solution – it is a mandatory input parameter and by convention, I use two-three letters for solution shortcode (for example, FIN = Financial solution, HR = HR solution, etc.).

The naming convention for the filename parameter is as follows: Client + Solution + Text.txt. The text file should be located in …[My] Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\01servers folder.

For example:

• OKFINTestServers.txt – List of test environment servers for OK client and FIN solution
• OKFINProdServers.txt – List of production environment servers for OK client and FIN solution.
• OKFINAllServers.txt – List of all servers for OK client and FIN solution.

INFO: To get a deeper explanation about client and solution input parameters please read these two sections Parameter client, Parameter solution.

INFO: In order to customize installation of CmdLet to your needs and setup necessary CSV file please read the following article How To Install And Configure PowerShell: CmdLets, Modules, Profiles

Here is the parameters definition code:

Function Get-CPUInfo {
[CmdletBinding(DefaultParametersetName="ServerNames")]
param (
    [Parameter( ValueFromPipeline=$true,
                ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true,
                ParameterSetName="ServerNames",
                HelpMessage="List of computer names separated by commas.")]
    [Alias('hosts')] 
    [string[]]$computers = 'localhost',
    
    [Parameter( ParameterSetName="FileName",
                HelpMessage="Name of txt file with list of servers. Txt file should be in 01servers folder.")] 
    [string]$filename,
    
    [Parameter( Mandatory=$false,
                HelpMessage="Write to error log file or not.")]
    [switch]$errorlog,
    
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, 
                HelpMessage="Client for example OK = O client, BK = B client")]
    [string]$client,
     
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,
                HelpMessage="Solution, for example FIN = Financial, HR = Human Resource")]
    [string]$solution     
)
}

INFO: PowerShell Pipelining is a very important concept and I highly recommend you to read the article written on the subject. How PowerShell Pipeline Works. Here I have shown in many examples the real power of PowerShell using the Pipelining.

BEGIN Block

In the BEGIN block we:

• If the FileName parameter set has been used we test if text file with a list of servers exists.
• If the file exists read the file and create the list of servers as a string array in the $computers variable.
• … and if not write a warning with information to the caller to create the file.

BEGIN {
    if ( $PsCmdlet.ParameterSetName -eq "FileName") {
        if ( Test-Path -Path "$home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\01servers\$filename" -PathType Leaf ) {
            Write-Verbose "Read content from file: $filename"
            $computers = Get-Content( "$home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\01servers\$filename" )        
        } else {
            Write-Warning "This file path does NOT exist: $home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\01servers\$filename"
            Write-Warning "Create file $filename in folder $home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\01servers with list of server names."
            break;
        }  
    }
}

PROCESS Block

In the PROCESS block we run this block of code for each server passed into the pipeline or read from the text file:

• We replace the localhost default value for the local server with the actual name of the local machine.
• We use Get-ComputerInfo CmdLet to read additional data about each server (name, environment, logical name, IP address).
• We implement Error Handling using try-catch blocks and writing errors in an external text file using Write-ErrorLog CmdLet.
• We use PowerShell splatting to prepare the input parameters for the next call of Get-CimInstance CmdLet.
• We call CIM class CIM_Processor using Get-CimInstance CmdLet
• We go through each CPU of each server and prepare the resultset of Get-CPUInfo CmdLet.

In the PROCESS block, I would like to emphasize two things used in the code

Splatting

Here is splatting:

$params = @{ 'ComputerName'=$computer;
                         'Class'='CIM_Processor';
                         'ErrorAction'='Stop'}

$CPUInfos = Get-CimInstance @params | 
            Select-Object   @{label="ServerName"; Expression={$_.SystemName}}, 
                            @{label="CPU"; Expression={$_.Name}}, 
                            @{label="CPUid"; Expression={$_.DeviceID}}, 
                            NumberOfCores, 
                            AddressWidth

Resultset Creation And Type Name Of Resultset

Again for creation of resultset I use splatting as you can see in the source code:

$properties = @{ 'Environment'=$env;
              'Logical name'=$logicalname;
              'Server name'=$CPUInfo.ServerName;
              'CPU'=$CPUInfo.CPU;
              'CPU ID'=$CPUInfo.CPUid;
              'Number of CPU cores'=$CPUInfo.NumberOfCores; 
              '64 or 32 bits'=$CPUInfo.AddressWidth;
              'IP'=$ip;
              'Collected'=(Get-Date -UFormat %Y.%m.%d' '%H:%M:%S)}

$obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $properties

In addition, I give a name (Report.CPUInfo) to the type of resultset as you can see in the code:

$obj.PSObject.TypeNames.Insert(0,'Report.CPUInfo')

So if we call PowerShell Get-Member CmdLet to get the type of resultset for Get-CPUInfo CmdLet we will get Report.CPUInfo type and not standard PowerShell PSObject type.

Get-CPUInfo -client OK -solution FIN | Get-Member

Here is the result:

Type Name of resultset gives us a possibility to further expend the use of resultset. For example, we can use MS SQL Database and create table CPUInfo based on resultset type name (Report.CPUInfo) where we can record the resultset and use MS SQL Reporting Services to show the results collected over a certain period of time.

Here is the PROCESS block source code:

PROCESS { 

    foreach ($computer in $computers ) {
        
        if ( $computer -eq 'localhost' ) {
            $computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME

How To Use Get-CPUInfo CmdLet – Tips

To get CPU properties information for the local machine we just call Get-CPUInfo CmdLet and provide values for mandatory parameters (client and solution):

Get-CPUInfo -client "OK" -solution "FIN"

Here is the resultset:

As we have seen in the solution section of this article we can call Get-CPUInfo CmdLet for the list of servers:

Get-CPUInfo -filename "OKFINservers.txt" -errorlog -client "OK" -solution "FIN" -Verbose | Select-Object 'Environment', 'Logical Name', 'Server Name', 'CPU', 'CPU ID', 'Number of CPU cores', '64 or 32 bits', 'IP', 'Collected'   | Out-GridView

Here is the resultset for list of servers:

We can PowerShell pipeline result from Get-CPUInfo CmdLet into Save-ToExcel CmdLet and get resultset as an Excel Sheet:

Get-CPUInfo -filename "OKFINservers.txt" -errorlog -client "OK" -solution "FIN" -Verbose | Save-ToExcel -errorlog -ExcelFileName "Get-CPUinfo" -title "Get CPU info of servers in Financial solution for " -author "Dejan Mladenovic" -WorkSheetName "CPU Info" -client "OK" -solution "FIN" 

Here is the Excel Sheet result:

Bonus Tip

I have used Get-CPUInfo CmdLet for documentation purposes while making a PDF document for the client where we have installed our solution.
