@DustinB3403 depending on what you want, you can also:

$app = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge" $installDate = $app.InstallDate

What a pain in the ass.

Where did you add the registry key?
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Nextcloud GmbH\Nextcloud?

I did not add the second key because that was to prevent user override? My users don't have admin rights so even if they attempted ot override, it would never work.

@pmoncho said in Get Windows Version from Command Line:

No doubt. Currently working on getting Server 2019 DC, DHCP, and RDS working in a lab. A few challenges so far. Was going to try using PS to do many tasks I normally do in GUI (force myself to learn as I go) but decided to put it on the back burner due to frustration. I will get there with PS but it has to wait.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to complain about PS and how Windows has no production-level roadmap at this point and is getting worse by the day, if you are going to run Windows today, PS is how it is done. Issues with PS have only one valid purpose to discuss - to use to explain to management why Windows shouldn't be getting deployed in production workloads, or why risks with it need to be accepted. It's like the licensing issues with Windows, these things all add up to cost and risk and risk is really just cost. It's part of the "decision numbers." Beyond that, it is what it is. If the business actually knows how costly it is and still chooses it, then PS is how you manage it.

If you deploy and start without using PS, it'll be that much harder to switch later. I know the learning curve is absurd and the whole thing is so much harder than it has any purpose being, but I would bite the bullet if at all possible and learn it now. It'll just be harder later.

Not yet.
