Thank you for effort which you put in the video! I really like education value of vid. Just today I'm wondering how I can get a list of installed programs to use as the base level for later comparison purposes 😊😊😊😊

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but sometimes I will do the get-wmi on 2 remote computers. Save each output to a variable and compare each one with a compare object. This way, if I'm switching a user from one pc to the next pc, I can know which programs the newly installed pc might require. Ofcourse I had this whole thing in a script that copies the entire user profile and such.

Thanks so much for this! Can you do a video on uninstalling apps after you find a list of installed apps? I'm having trouble uninstalling some various apps with PowerShell. It'd be helpful to learn when to use one technique over another.

This is great. Why not also use get-package?

Performance. I've found that using reg is quicker when running bulk jobs on 100+ devices at once. Wmi is also not performant and will be deprecated soon, ciminstance is faster but not as fast as reg.
