WMI query for HP Docking Station

[giobatcodo]

Hi

I would like to run this PS command in Lansweeper to retrive details of our HP docking stations (first of all the firmware version)

Get-WmiObject -Class HP_DockAccessory -Namespace root/HP/InstrumentedServices/v1

It works on my pc (I have installed HP WMI agent in prior - HPAccessoryWMIProvider.exe) but I don't know how to use on every pc on our network and manage results in Lansweeper.

Thanks

I gave away my HP dock for a christmas gift (really) but you could make a script and run it as a logon script (gpo/etc) or run it in the deployment section of lansweeper on-premise - and write values to registry keys so you can scan them and report on them (I'm guessing as to the values returned so you'll need to edit that).  (add the keys in on-prem https://community.lansweeper.com/t5/scanning-your-network/scan-registry-values-with-custom-registry-...) and learn about on-prem deployment https://community.lansweeper.com/t5/deploying-software-other-changes/create-a-deployment-package/ta-... ) 

# Define registry path
$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\lansweeper\scripts\hp_dock"

# Ensure the script runs with administrator privileges
if (-not ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) {
    Write-Host "This script must be run as Administrator. Exiting."
    exit 1
}

# Retrieve HP Dock Accessory information
try {
    $dockInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class HP_DockAccessory -Namespace root/HP/InstrumentedServices/v1 -ErrorAction Stop
    
    if ($dockInfo) {
        # Ensure the registry path exists
        if (-not (Test-Path $regPath)) {
            New-Item -Path $regPath -Force | Out-Null
        }
        
        # Write each property to the registry separately
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "InstanceID" -Value $dockInfo.InstanceID -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Model" -Value $dockInfo.Model -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Manufacturer" -Value $dockInfo.Manufacturer -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "FirmwareVersion" -Value $dockInfo.FirmwareVersion -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "SerialNumber" -Value $dockInfo.SerialNumber -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "Status" -Value $dockInfo.Status -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "PowerState" -Value $dockInfo.PowerState -Force
        Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "DockType" -Value $dockInfo.DockType -Force

        Write-Host "HP DockAccessory information successfully written to the registry."
    } else {
        Write-Host "No dock accessory detected."
    }
} catch {
    Write-Host "Error retrieving HP DockAccessory information: $_"
}
