I would cast both of those using [version] - otherwise -lt won't work properly.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean by using [version], and its probably why it has failed for me before. I also used the longer code to include the "-eq $null" but I'm guessing by using the simplified...

Thank you, that cleared up quite a bit for me and it is probably the reason some of my detection have been acting a little flakey.

Hi Yves, We have developed the forms to be customizable as far as changing the banner and the text. I would strongly advise against changing the forms as there is a high risk of breaking something and...

Sean, Thanks for the response. It had occurred to me that there would be no easy way to make modifications to the UI without breaking it (only after having broken it once or twice), can you honestly...

Hi Yves, If you're going to undertake changes to the UI, then your approach of using the toolkit extensions is the right one. I've looked at the screenshots and your UI isn't a million miles away as it...
