How can I check a remote computer's power state with Intel EMA powershell? I'm using 1.10

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

How is this achievable with PowerShell?

 

I've looked through the swagger API - but can't seem to find it.

 

Please help?

 

Kindest regards

Hello YasserA,


Thank you so much for contacting Intel customer support,


In regard to your question, the only options that we have for power shell scripts in reference to an endpoint’s power state are the ones below:


Set-IntelEMAEndpointPowerState: Sends a specified power command to an

 endpoint.


Set-IntelEMAEndpointPowerStateBulkFile: Sends a specified power command to a

 list of endpoints managed by Intel(R) EMA.


Both commands are meant to be used to change a computer’s power state to either reset it, reboot it or wake up an endpoint.


Best regards,

Hi YasserA,

 

You can use the Endpoint details API /api/latest/endpoints/{endpointId} to get the power status. Power status is part of the information returned from the API.

Dear Victor,

 

Many thanks for the quick reply!

 

Intel SCS powershell provided much more functionality - is there any development going on to get power state querying available in PowerShell?

 

also - if not PowerShell - is this power state querying functionality available via Javascript or any other language?

 

Kindest regards

Dear Jimmy,

 

Many thanks for your quick response!

 

I noticed in the sample script (Get-IntelEMAEndpointFullDetails.ps1) it has the following:

 

        0 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (On)"}        
        1 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (On)"}       
        2 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (Off)"}       
        3 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (Off)"}   
        4 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (Sleep)"}       
        5 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (Hibernate)"}       
        6 {$endpointResult.PowerState = [string]$endpointResult.PowerState + " (On)"}  

 

I couldn't find the details under endpoints in swagger - but I need to know what the 3 On states mean? and the 2 Off states? Can you please shed some more light?

 

Is one of them Standby? How do they correlate with the S0 to S5 states - etc?

 

Many thanks - all help is appreciated!

 

Kindest regards

Hello YasserA,


Thank you for your patience.


You can use the following command:


Get-IntelEMAEndpointFullDetails.ps1


In Endpoint Details you will find the following:


"PowerState": "0 (On)",


"PowerStateUpdate": "2023-05-03T03:19:45Z",


"IsConnected": true,


"IsCiraConnected": true,
