Remarks
Windows sets the value of DEVPKEY_Device_PDOName to the name of the physical name object (PDO) that represents a device. For more information about PDO names, see the DeviceName parameter that is used with the IoCreateDevice routine.
You can call CM_Get_DevNode_Property or SetupDiGetDeviceProperty to retrieve the value of DEVPKEY_Device_PDOName.
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 support this property, but do not support the DEVPKEY_Device_PDOName property key. Instead, you can use the corresponding SPDRP_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_OBJECT_NAME identifier to access the value of the property on these earlier versions of Windows. For information about how to access this property value on these earlier versions of Windows, see Accessing Device Instance SPDRP_Xxx Properties.
