Old Powershell Scanner Results

Avatar

Howdy,
First up, thank you for adding this amazing feature!


I just started dabbling in the powershell scanner and accidentally output my data as a plain hashtable not a pscustomobject. This left me with an unwanted garbage entry which is affecting reports.

What is the best way to clear this and go again?

    Looks like it was as simple as exporting, deleting, and re-importing the scan profile.

    I did have one hiccup however where PDQ Inventory crashed when deleting the scan profile. As the program didn't close, and it seemed to have removed the scan profile and data, I went ahead and re-imported it resulting in no data for the clients ($NULL) and two identical powershell scan data's with the same name under reports.

    I removed it again and did a DB backup and optimise (which also restarted the service) and after a re-import things are going swimmingly.

    Embarrassingly, looking back on my edit history, I also just found I had an empty @{} hiding just before my [pscustomobject] that was causing this.
    PDQ Inventory removes the old data the next time you run the scanner.
