Each Windows operating system has a description, and you can view (and change) this description with the following command:
PS> control sysdm.cpl
To do the same in an automated way via PowerShell, use this:
# change operating system description # (requires admin privileges) $values = @{ Description = 'My Computer' } Set-CimInstance -Query 'Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem' -Property $values # read description # (no admin privileges required) $description = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Description "OS Description: $description"
