SCCM - Query Powershell Version

Question

I am trying to create create a query in SCCM to show how many computers are installed with the different Powershell-versions. I suspect we have a mix of v2,v3 and v4, but I need to know how many and their computer names. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I couldnt find anything about this online.

I would prefer a query because I dont want to make a report (I am not comfertable with the report builder in SCCM 2012).

Solution

You can do this if you enable the Software Inventory function in your client settings. By default SINV disables scanning of C:\Windows so you need to re-enable the Powershell path %windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
After that, you can create Queries or Collections that leverage the "Softare Files" attribute class to see what you have. So far I've mapped out the following values & version numbers.

v1,2 Less Than 6.2
v3   Like      6.2.%
v4   Like      6.3.%

Yes I've done that, but that will also require a query?

Good question. This Q&A makes me think there isn't a WMI query that easily reveals the WMF version. I think installations of WMF versions higher than the one in the RTM have all been distributed as Windows Updates. For example, WMF 4 for Windows 7 is KB2819745. If that is the case you should be able to infer WMF version from the OS version and whether any of the WMF updates is installed.
