I have been working on upgrading to the latest version.  I am having issues getting the password expiration for users to display. 

 

I have this, which works from a manually initiated script called get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1, from another forum poster a few years back.

[get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1]

try{

$UserDomain,$UserName=([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name).split("")

$NetLoginProfile= (Get-WmiObject-Namespace root\cimv2 -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile |where-object caption -eq$ENV:username|Select-object PasswordExpires)

$NetPwdExp=$NetLoginProfile|Select-Object-ExpandProperty PasswordExpires

$PasswordExpires= [Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDateTime($NetPwdExp)

get-date-date "$PasswordExpires"-Format "M/d/yyyy h:m:ss tt"

}catch{$null}

 

but when i embed it into the ini all i get is the text Password Expires:

 

SET-SECTION=key:get-UserPasswordExpiration,value:get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1

CMD=color:%Green%,text:Password Expires,trim:1,file:powershell.exe,parameters:%get-UserPasswordExpiration%,code-page:437,thread:1,no-wait:2,hide-no-result:1

 

Same if I call a script:

CMD=file:powershell.exe,parameters:-executionpolicy remotesigned -file get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1,color:%Green%,text:Password Expires,no-wait:2,hide-no-result:1

 

If I use wmi it works, I just do not seem to be able to get it to display am or pm:

WMI=color:%Green%,text:Password Expires,namespace:root\CIMV2,query:Win32_NetworkLoginProfile where UserType="Normal Account",display:%PasswordExpires_month%/%PasswordExpires_day%/%PasswordExpires_year%%PasswordExpires_hour%:%PasswordExpires_minute%:%PasswordExpires_second%

 

I would like to use the embedded powershell style as it will be easier for others to work with in the future. I just cannot figure out how to make the data show.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

my ini is attached it it helps.

 

i've got this kind of thing:

SET-SECTION=key:get-UserPasswordExpiration,value:get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1
CMD=color:%Green%,text:Password Expires,trim:1,file:powershell.exe,parameters:%get-UserPasswordExpiration%,display:%1 %2 %3 %4

Desktop Info needs to get it's output from Write-Host and display it using the display option. %4 is the powershell output.  I replaced your exception error with Write-Host 'Error' and that's what it displays.

[get-UserPasswordExpiration.ps1]
try{
$UserDomain,$UserName=([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name).split("")
$NetLoginProfile= (Get-WmiObject-Namespace root\cimv2 -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile |where-object caption -eq$ENV:username|Select-object PasswordExpires)
$NetPwdExp=$NetLoginProfile|Select-Object-ExpandProperty PasswordExpires
$PasswordExpires= [Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDateTime($NetPwdExp)
get-date-date "$PasswordExpires"-Format "M/d/yyyy h:m:ss tt"
}catch{Write-Host 'Error'}
Write-Host $PasswordExpires

Password Expires : 1 0 1071664452 Error

So I think there is something wrong with the text we're sending to powershell. It gives an error when i paste that code into PowerShell ISE.

If i add $error[0] to the catch line it gives:

PS C:\Windows\system32> try{
$UserDomain,$UserName=([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name).split("")
$NetLoginProfile= (Get-WmiObject-Namespace root\cimv2 -Class Win32_NetworkLoginProfile |where-object caption -eq$ENV:username|Select-object PasswordExpires)
$NetPwdExp=$NetLoginProfile|Select-Object-ExpandProperty PasswordExpires
$PasswordExpires= [Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDateTime($NetPwdExp)
get-date-date "$PasswordExpires"-Format "M/d/yyyy h:m:ss tt"
}catch{Write-Host 'Error:' $Error[0]}
Write-Host $PasswordExpires
Error: The term 'Get-WmiObject-Namespace' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or i
f a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I think there is a space missing in 'Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\cimv2 ... etc'   After that there's other errors but maybe you can take it from there.
