Hi,

I need to find out the Firmware Version installed on a HP Thunderbolt-Dockingstation G2 with Powershell command
On a HP_Docking_USB-C_G5, the Powershell call is:
Get-WmiObject -Class HP_DockAccessory -ComputerName $Computer -Namespace root/HP/InstrumentedServices/v1 | select -EXPAND FirmwarePackageVersion

That works fine, but on a HP Thunderbolt-Dockingstation G2, i can`t find out the Powershell call.
Does anyone know or know someone here advice?

HPDockWMIProvider.exe is installed on the Computer.

In the Technical white paper - HP Firmware Installer for Docks ,stand unfortunately nothing, as under G5.
https://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/whitepapers/HP_Firmware_Installer_for_Docks_L33010-004.pdf

In the HP forum no one can help me either.

Thanks for a tip
Greetings

    I can't help directly but I wondered if you could try to see what classes are available on a device with one of those docks installs by using WmiExplorer to poke around and see if it provides a different class to query if HP_DockAccessory isn't available on the G2 - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/weekend-scripter-the-wmi-explorer-tool/

    Hi DaveKwas,
    I already use the WIMExplorer but from Kazlov, but the WIMExplorer from Pamnani, is a lot better, now i can find some entries.
    but I think that I can not read the info from the WMI.
    Pity.

    Thanks DaveKwas
