Get the status of application deployments on devices

Question

Hi, I need to query (in PowerShell, ideally) the evolution of the advancement status of application deployments on the devices they are pushed to. I need to execute this query regularly and to retrieve what are the latest changes regarding the deployments
(ex. the application deployment succeeded on machine 1, is in progress on machine 2 etc.)
Do you have an idea on how to get that info?
Thanks in advance,
Marius

The nice thing is that the complete class is documented, including possible states (see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh948459.aspx).
To give you an idea of how you could use it, I used the following function to determine the deployment state of an application for a specific device:
#Function to get the deployment state of an application deployment
function Get-AppDeploymentSate {
param (
[string]$AssignmentID
$DeploymentState = Get-WmiObject -Class SMS_AppDeploymentAssetDetails -Namespace root/SMS/site_$($SiteCode) -ComputerName $SiteServer -Filter "MachineId='$ResourceId' and AssignmentID='$AssignmentID'"
if ($DeploymentState -eq $null) {
$Compliancy = "No Information"
else {
switch ($DeploymentState.StatusType) {
1 {$Compliancy = "Success"; break;}
2 {$Compliancy = "In Progress"; break;}
3 {$Compliancy = "Requirements Not Met"; break;}
4 {$Compliancy = "Unknown"; break;}
default {$Compliancy = "Error"}
Return $Compliancy
