High-Value Starting Points
| Workflow | Start with | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system inventory | Get-CxOsInfo , Get-CxComputerSystem , Get-CxInstalledApplication | Build a truthful snapshot of the target host before remediation |
| Security posture | Get-CxAccountPolicy , Get-CxSecurityOption , Get-CxSecurityGaps | Review password, audit, and local security posture quickly |
| Firewall and network | Get-CxFirewallProfile , Get-CxFirewallRule , Get-CxTcpConnection | Validate host exposure and active connectivity |
| Patching | Get-CxPatchSummary , Get-CxPatchDetails , Get-CxUpdatesPending | Identify stale systems and patching risk |
| Services and tasks | Get-CxServices , Get-CxScheduledTask , Get-CxTaskSddl | Inspect persistence points and operational configuration |
| Permissions | Get-CxFilePermissions , Get-CxSmbShareAcl , Get-CxWmiNamespacePermission | Review access control surfaces that affect hardening |

ComputerX includes many Set-* , Add-* , and Remove-* commands for local system changes. Use them only after you have inspected the target state and verified the command-specific parameters in the generated API reference.
Typical examples include:
Set-CxFirewallDefaultSet-CxRegistryValueSet-CxServiceSet-CxAuditPolicy
