Devices

Check-PNPDevicesDetectionDetection.ps1 checks devices, if they are working as expected, if not it will return the devices and exit non-zero. Check-PNPDevicesRemediation.ps1 will remove the devices and trigger a re-detect.

Usage/Examples

Filter

If you want to run the script only against a subset of devices, you can use the following variables to filter the devices.

• $ClassFilterInclude
• $ClassFilterExclude
• $DeviceIDFilterInclude
• $DeviceIDFilterExclude

Order of precedence

[Devices with Error] -> ClassFilterExclude -> ClassFilterInclude -> DeviceIDFilterExclude -> DeviceIDFilterInclude -> [Devices to detect / remediate]

• You can use the wildcard character * to match any device in the $ClassFilterInclude variable and $DeviceIDFilterInclude variable.
• Exclude has precedence over include.
• Class filter is applied first, then DeviceID filter.

Examples

# Filter out Net and USB devices, in this subset only include Display, Ports and Sound devices. Then exclude the PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_46A8&SUBSYS_00741414&REV_0C\3&11583659&0&10 and ACPI\PNP0C02\5 devices.

$ClassFilterExclude = "Net", "USB"
$ClassFilterInclude = "Display", "Ports", "Sound"
$DeviceIDFilterExclude = "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_46A8&SUBSYS_00741414&REV_0C\3&11583659&0&10", "ACPI\PNP0C02\5"
$DeviceIDFilterInclude = "*"

# A more reasonable example.
# Don't care about USB and Mouse devices. Include all other devices. Exclude the Cisco AnyConnect VPN device and PS/2 Keyboard.

$ClassFilterExclude = "USB", "Mouse"
$ClassFilterInclude = "*"
$DeviceIDFilterExclude = "ROOT\NET\0000", "ACPI\HPQ8002\4&1003D552&0"
$DeviceIDFilterInclude = "*"
