Hi,
We would like to start using Windows Hello. This means also being able to login in Windows or unlock a system with biometrics: fingerprint and/or facial recognition.
Not all laptops have the hardware onboard required to do this: a fingerprint scanner or an infrared camera.
Is there a way for us to use Lansweeper to find all systems with built-in fingerprint scanners and infrared cameras? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks!

Here's one for you using the PNP Drivers BIOMETRIC class to find anything that qualifies as a Biometric sensor (it picks up Windows Hello compatible cameras too)
Select Top 1000000 a.AssetID,
a.AssetName,
a.Domain,
a.Username,
a.Userdomain,
Coalesce(os.Image, [at].AssetTypeIcon10) As icon,
a.IPAddress,
ipl.IPLocation,
ac.Manufacturer,
ac.Model,
os.OSname As OS,
a.SP,
a.Lastseen As [Last successful scan],
a.Lasttried As [Last scan attempt],
pnpdu.DeviceName,
pnpdu.Description,
pnpd.FriendlyName,
pnpdu.DeviceClass,
pnpdu.DriverProviderName,
pnpd.DriverVersion,
pnpd.HardwareID,
pnpd.PDO,
pnpd.DeviceID
From tblAssets a
Left Join tblAssetCustom ac On ac.AssetID = a.AssetID
Inner Join tblPnPSignedDrivers pnpd On a.AssetID = pnpd.AssetID
Inner Join tblPnPSignedDriversUni pnpdu On pnpd.PnPSignedDriverUniID =
pnpdu.PnPSignedDriverUniID
Left Join tsysAssetTypes [at] On [at].AssetType = a.Assettype
Left Join tsysIPLocations ipl On a.IPAddress = ipl.IPLocation
Left Join tsysOS os On os.OScode = a.OScode
Left Join tblState st On st.State = ac.State
Where pnpdu.DeviceClass = 'BIOMETRIC' And pnpd.PDO Is Not Null And
pnpd.PDO <> '' And Lower(st.Statename) = 'active'
Order By a.Domain,
a.AssetName,
pnpdu.DeviceClass,
pnpdu.DeviceName

Did you even get an answer for this? I want to do this now as well.

I'm afraid nobody replied. I ended up grouping the clients per model and that way assuming that each client of the same model had the same relevant hardware for biometrics. It's not a perfect solution but it was enough.
I do think it's possible to get this info out of Lansweeper, but you'll need to go through the tables in the database at least, or maybe even add a custom regkey scan. I do think that I saw something with the infrared webcam presenting itself as a separate device (which is pretty obvious in fact), so listing devices with more than one webcam should give you an idea as well.
I didn't investigate further as I wanted to push through with Hello anyway. Users can always fall back on the PIN-code, so biometrics is not a must.
