Semi-OT: easy way to check IsInstalled rules

[AndAuf]

Hi all,

yes, this question is not caused by PatchmyPC itself, but I hope to find some others struggling with the very same problem.

If you use the Dell driver catalog with SCCM you might frequently stumble across driver updates which just don't work - most likely "not detected after installation completed".

So you can use PatchmyPC to actually have a look at the rules for those updates (sadly, you cannot edit them by now)

Let's have a look at this driver, I am currently struggling with:

This is the IsInstalled rule

Do you know an easy way to manually check these rules? Without manually taking line by line, decoding to plain text?

I mean.. I can start by using

Code Select Expand

(Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\Dell\sysinv" -query "SELECT description FROM Dell_SoftwareIdentity WHERE Description like 'Dell:DRVR_%'").Description look for matching IDs and go on and on. But maybe you had the same issues and actually found an easier solution.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there isn't an "easy" way to check these rules. Most of our rules are much less complicated than this (in fact, we do not utilize WMI based rules at all because they are slow). Sorry we can't be of more help!
