The PowerShell scanner is a configurable scanner that executes the PowerShell script as determined by the PowerShell Scanner Settings for a particular scan profile. (Enterprise mode is required to use the PowerShell scanner.) This information can be viewed on the PowerShell page of the Computer window.
NOTE: Deleting a PowerShell scanner deletes all the PowerShell records it gathered.
PowerShell Scanner Settings
Configure the PowerShell scanner settings in the Edit PowerShell Scanner window (Enterprise mode required). Each PowerShell scanner may only contain one script or file, however, multiple PowerShell scanners can be added to one scan profile.
To open the Edit PowerShell Scanner window, do one of the following:
•When creating a new scan profile:
oClick New Scanner 
> PowerShell (or Computer > New Scanner > PowerShell)
oClick Scan Profiles 
(or Computer > Scan Profiles) then New > Add > PowerShell
•When editing an existing scan profile:
oClick Scan Profiles , select Scan Profiles in the tree, or click Computer > Scan Profiles then double-click an existing PowerShell scanner or select it and click Edit.
