Parameter Set: AllComputers
Get-WsusComputer [-All] [-UpdateServer <IUpdateServer> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Scoped
Get-WsusComputer [-ComputerTargetGroups <StringCollection> ] [-ComputerUpdateStatus <WsusUpdateInstallationState> ] [-ExcludedInstallationStates <UpdateInstallationStates[]> ] [-FromLastReportedStatusTime <DateTime> ] [-FromLastSyncTime <DateTime> ] [-IncludedInstallationStates <UpdateInstallationStates[]> ] [-IncludeDownstreamComputerTargets] [-IncludeSubgroups] [-NameIncludes <String> ] [-RequestedTargetGroupNames <StringCollection> ] [-ToLastReportedStatusTime <DateTime> ] [-ToLastSyncTime <DateTime> ] [-UpdateServer <IUpdateServer> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-WsusComputer cmdlet retrieves one or more computers based on the specified filtering criteria such as operating system, computer name, update installation status, last reported status time, and etcetera.

If the Get-WsusServer cmdlet is run and the resulting IUpdateServer object is piped into this cmdlet, then the specified server will be used rather than the local server.

This cmdlet can be piped into the Add-WsusComputer cmdlet.
