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 (except those also scanned by a different scanner running an identical or inclusive query).
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 PowerShell Scanner window, go to Options > Scan Profiles, then do one of the following:
•When creating a new profile, in the Scan Profile window, click Add > PowerShell.
•When editing a profile, in the Scan Profile window, double-click an existing PowerShell scanner or select it and click Edit.
