Hi,

As I mentioned in other posts there is a bug for generating CSR with custom fields on iLO4 i.e., Gen 8 and 9.

Thanks,

The InventoryInformation.ps1 sample script seem to have an error:

$result = Get-HPEiLOServerSoftwareInventory -Connection $connection

foreach($output in $result)
{

if($output.Status -eq "OK")
{

Write-Host "`nServer Software Inventory information for $($output.IP)." -ForegroundColor Green

$output.Devices

}

else
{
if($output.StatusInfo -ne $null)
{ $message = $output.StatusInfo.Message; Write-Host "`nFailed to get Server Software Inventory information for $($output.IP): "$message -ForegroundColor Red }
}

}

Has anyone ever tried to use it?
