How do I find the Collection Membership Information with PowerShell - powershell

Question

I have the following code, but I get an "Invalid Namespace" error constantly, I am pretty sure I am entering the correct information.
If you have another way of doing this, it's also accepted.
Param(
$SiteCode,
$SourceFile,
$Destination = "$env:USERPROFILE\DESKTOP\Computers.csv"
)
$Computers = Get-Content $SourceFile
$EmptyArray = #()
foreach($computer in $computers)
{
$ResourceIDQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" -Class SMS_R_SYSTEM -Filter "Name='$computer'"
$CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" -Class SMS_CollectionMember_a -filter "ResourceID='$($ResourceIDQuery.ResourceId)'"
foreach($Item in $CollectionQuery)
{
$DObject = New-Object PSObject
$Dobject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Computer" -Value $computer
$Dobject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "ResID" -Value $($ResourceIDQuery.ResourceId)
$Dobject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "CollID" -Value $($Item.CollectionId)
$Dobject | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "DirectOrNot" -Value $($Item.IsDirect)
$EmptyArray += $Dobject
}
}
$EmptyArray | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | Out-File $Destination

Rather than connecting to each computer and extracting the information (slow) get it from the straight from the database....

Execution:-
PS C:\> ListSCCMCollections.ps1 -sccmsrv SCCMSERVER -hosts host1,host2,host3 -path "c:\temp\Outfile.csv"
or
PS C:\> Get-Content hostlist.txt | ListSCCMCollections.ps1 -sccmsrv SCCMSERVER -path c:\temp\Outfile.csv
Getting the requested info straight from SQL:-
SELECT dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.Name AS 'Hostname', dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID, dbo.v_Collection.Name AS 'Collection Name', dbo.v_Collection.CollectionID,
dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.IsDirect
FROM dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership INNER JOIN
dbo.v_Collection ON dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = dbo.v_Collection.CollectionID INNER JOIN
dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM ON dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID = dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID
WHERE (LOWER(dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.Name) = LOWER('Hostname'))
This script can be used with any SQL query on the SCCM database. All you need to do is update the SQL query in the script. i.e. the $memberQuery array (if you spread the query over a couple of lines like below, be sure to leave a space at the end of each line with exception to the last).
For example; If you'd like the script to show the clients collections with live advertisements assigned to them change the SQL query in the $memberQuery array to:-
$memberQuery = "SELECT dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.Name AS 'Hostname', dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID, dbo.v_Collection.Name AS 'Collection Name',dbo.v_Collection.CollectionID, dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.IsDirect, dbo.v_Advertisement.AdvertisementID, dbo.v_Advertisement.AdvertisementName "
$memberQuery += "FROM dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership INNER JOIN dbo.v_Collection ON dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = dbo.v_Collection.CollectionID INNER JOIN dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM ON dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID = dbo.v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID INNER JOIN dbo.v_Advertisement ON dbo.v_Collection.CollectionID = dbo.v_Advertisement.CollectionID "
$memberQuery += "WHERE (LOWER(dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership.Name) = LOWER('$srv'))"
and the $sObject variable to:-
$sObject = $enumColl | select Hostname, ResourceID, "Collection Name", CollectionID, IsDirect, AdvertisementID, AdvertisementName
Complete script to view client collections with live advisements (execution the same as before):-

Answer 2

And if you connect to SCCM from station with only SCCM Console installed and every other SCCM cmdlets works, trying Get-WmiObject:
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" ...
you will have an error:
“Get-WmiObject : Invalid namespace …”
In this situation you should specify parameter ComputerName and point to server where SCCM is installed:
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName "SCCMserver" -Namespace "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" ...
Hope it helps, I waste few minutes by this.
