Extending WMI query capabilities #13

Closed Elaci0 closed 2 years ago

Elaci0 commented 3 years ago

I see that at the moment TsGui does not allow the execution of external commands/scripts to read their output but we are "limited" to WMI queries. Do you think it would be possible to extend such queries to include parameters?

for example I wanted to create a validation for the computer name which would check if the computer is already existing or not. Given that I cannot query Active Directory I thought that at lease I could try to ping the "new chosen name" with a WMI query that outputs catchable results: Select * from Win32_PingStatus Where Address = 'NEWNAME'

here "NEWNAME" is fixed, I don't know it is easy to do, I was thinking about a sort of tag such linked to a GuiOption, (ComputerName in my case)

Thanks!

I'll have a look, but I am actually looking at adding PowerShell support. I have a lot of the code already from DevChecker and the Birdsnest Managed Installer. If I can get script support working would this be prefferable?

Really?? that would be great!! How about adding the ability to read the powershell script also from inside the XML (I am thinkng about a CDATA tags) ? I am looking forward to try the new release!

Thanks
