Creating base lines

Base line for newly imaged machine:-

Get-Service * | Where {$_.status -eq “Running”} | Export-Clixml fileName.xml

Comparing the baseline to the current state:-

Compare-Object (Import-Clixml fileName.xml)(Get-Service * | Where {$_.status -eq “Running”}) -Property DisplayName | Where-Object{$_.sideindicator -eq “<=”}

Another way to create base line for newly imaged machine:-

Get-Process | Export-Clixml fileName.xml

Comparing the baseline to the current state:-

Compare-Object (Import-Clixml fileName.xml)(Get-Process) -Property Name | Where-Object{$_.sideindicator -eq “<=”}

Creating baseline commands:-

• Get-WmiObject Win32_UserAccount | Export-Clixml fileName.xml
• Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | Export-Clixml fileName.xml
• Get-WmiObject Win32_SystemUsers | Export-Clixml fileName.xml
