The following PS script shows how to query ServiceNow via SOAP calls, using the WebServiceProxy object. View their Wiki for more examples of service methods

$username = "XXXXXXXXXX"
$password = "YYYYYYYYYY"
$instance = "ZZZZZZZZZZ"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
$sn = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "https://$instance.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL" –Credential $cred
#get autogenerated namespace
$type = $sn.GetType().Namespace
# Get a single record by sys_id
#$get = new-object ($type + '.get')
#$get.sys_id="YOUR_SYS_ID_GOES_HERE"
#$sn.get($get)
#Get records that match values
#$getRecords = new-object ($type + '.getRecords')
#$getRecords.state=11
#$sn.getRecords($getRecords);

$username = "XXXXXXXXXX"

$password = "YYYYYYYYYY"

$instance = "ZZZZZZZZZZ"

$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))

#$get = new-object ($type + '.get')

#$get.sys_id="YOUR_SYS_ID_GOES_HERE"

#$sn.get($get)

#Get records that match values

#$getRecords = new-object ($type + '.getRecords')

#$getRecords.state=11

#$sn.getRecords($getRecords);
