Hi All,
My objective is to be able to monitor the firmware version installed and report on outdated firmware, eg: Bios, graphic card, ETC.
What I am wondering is if Azure-Arc or inTune is able to do this. I expect I know the answer to this, as a good search does not return valid information.
If anyone knows if this is possible or can confirm it's not possible, please let me know?
Regards

Hi Craig,
you may need to create a custom script to provide the hardware/bios details, but then you can pull that information in using the AMA agent.

Hi David,
Thanks for the information; I will give it a try.
It still leaves the problem of comparing all the firmware that requires updates.
Do you have any method of automatically comparing, or do you still see this as a manual process?
Thanks for your help
Craig
Hi David,
Yeah, I don't see this as being feasible. You would need to create a script for each device to run at least weekly. Then work out how to convert and import that into Arc / inTune. This would give you the version, but then you would still need to manually check multiple devices on each desktop / Server to see if they require an update.
Your solution might be possible, just not feasible.

Craig
