Accessing Antimalware Status on Remote PCs using PowerShell

In a corporate environment, monitoring the security status of domain computers is crucial. If you need to check the Antimalware status of multiple PCs remotely using PowerShell, the Get-MPComputerStatus command can be your best ally. However, the challenge is passing the -computername parameter to this command, as it typically runs on the local machine by default. In this guide, we will explore how to use PowerShell effectively to retrieve the Antimalware status of remote PCs.

Understanding the Requirements

Before diving into the solution, let’s outline the requirements to retrieve the Antimalware status from remote computers:

PowerShell knowledge - Familiarity with basic PowerShell commands.

Administrative privileges - Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the remote computers.

Active Directory module - Make sure the Active Directory module is available for use in your PowerShell session.

Exploring the Solution

There are two primary methods to obtain the Get-MPComputerStatus for remote machines in PowerShell. Let’s break down each method:

Method 1: Using -CimSession

CimSession lets you run commands on remote computers easily. Here’s how you can implement it:

Explanation:

New-CimSession creates a session to the remote PC specified in the command.

The Get-MpComputerStatus cmdlet is then executed within that session, allowing you to access the Antimalware status.

Method 2: Using Invoke-Command

Another efficient technique is to leverage Invoke-Command, which allows you to run a script block on remote machines.

Explanation:

-ComputerName specifies which remote computer to target.

-ScriptBlock contains the commands to be executed on the remote machine (in this case, the command to get the Antimalware status).

Complete Script Example

You can integrate either of these methods into the script you provided earlier. For instance, updating the part of your script that retrieves Get-MPComputerStatus could look like this with Invoke-Command:
