Question : Powershell WMI Query

Hello,

I have written a Powershell script to query some information about our servers. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to omit the words "Hotfix" and "Update" from being written to the excel spreadsheet? Also, in between the program listings, there are sometimes huge gaps betweeen programs. Can you please tell me what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thank you

Hi Brent,
