Display Inventory

The information about connected displays in WMI are not easy to read. The command

Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi

will give you the following output:

Active                 : True
InstanceName           : DISPLAY\ENC2530\4&amp;amp;307c4481&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;UID224795_0
ManufacturerName       : {69, 78, 67, 0...}
ProductCodeID          : {50, 53, 51, 48...}
SerialNumberID         : {51, 53, 56, 53...}
UserFriendlyName       : {69, 86, 50, 52...}
UserFriendlyNameLength : 13
WeekOfManufacture      : 37
YearOfManufacture      : 2016

You can use the PowerShell Script below to convert the output and create a new WMI Class and publish the information.

You can use the following command to get the user friendly output:

 Get-WmiObject Win32_MonitorDetails

Connection        : DP
Manufacturer      : Fujitsu-Siemens
ManufacturingWeek : 28
ManufacturingYear : 2016
Model             : B24-8 TE Pro
MonitorID         : FUS087C
Name              : PnP-Monitor (Standard)
PnPID             : 4&amp;amp;35206AC6&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;UID257587
SerialNumber      : YV9S205815

Now you can use the new class for Config Manager Hardware Inventory.
Go to Administration -> Client Settings and edit your Default Client Setting.
Select Hardware Inventory and Set Classes…
