The Script V8

This is the current version of the Powershell script to track windows computers with GPS receivers.

Execute the script in a PowerShell window, this will keep a terminal open and display responses from the server.

Update the $devid variable with the assigned device ID from the server first!

Currently the script is set to poll the GPS and update the server every 30 seconds - change this as needed and enjoy.

Updates:

• Version 8 - 16AUG2024 - New information collected and reported for the charging state of the device
