Detect if a smart card is in the reader

[SUndie]

Hello!

For various reasons, we have a need to know if a smart card is actually inserted in the smart card reader when a Windows asset is scanned via WMI.

I know that the smart card show up under "Smart Cards" in Device Manager.

I cannot figure out if this information is already mined in LS, or what extra actions I would have to take (registry keys or file scanning, for instance)

Can anyone give any guidance?

Never mind - I just realized you can indeed see it in USB devices. I'm not sure why I wasn't seeing it before.
