Create Custom Variable

Avatar
Brad McClave

Is it possible to create a custom variable using a system variable? I'm trying to parse out several IP addresses discovered during a network scan that I know to be Cisco phones. If I running the following PowerShell tool against them, and they return True, I know them to be phones:

invoke-webrequest http://$(Computer:Target) | select-string "SPA504G -quiet

I want to setup custom dynamic groups of targets that return true on the above command. Seems every time I try to create the variable, PDQ Inventory complains about a spcae, @ or $ being in the name. I've been following this blog post for help but I'm not getting very far.

Thanks.

    If I understand correctly, I think this would work:

    $CiscoPhone = Invoke-WebRequest http://$(Computer:Target) | Select-String "SPA504G" -Quiet
if ( $CiscoPhone -eq $true ) {

    PDQInventory.exe UpdateCustomVariable -Name "Cisco Phone" -Value "$CiscoPhone"

}
