DESCRIPTION
The Get-PnpDevice cmdlet returns basic information about Plug and Play (PnP) devices. The values returned are common to all devices.
PARAMETERS
-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or
Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Class [<String[]>]
Specifies an array of PnP classes for devices. Some example values for this parameter are Monitor, DiskDrive, and Processor.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FriendlyName [<String[]>]
Specifies an array of friendly names for devices.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InformationAction [<System.Management.Automation.ActionPreference]>]
Specifies how this cmdlet responds to an information event. The acceptable values for this parameter are:??
-- SilentlyContinue
-- Stop
-- Continue
-- Inquire
-- Ignore
-- Suspend
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InformationVariable [<System.String]>]
Specifies a variable in which to store an information event message.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InstanceId [<String[]>]
Specifies an array of unique instance ID of devices.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true(ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PresentOnly [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that this cmdlet gets only those devices that are present when you issue the command. Present devices are physically in the system or
attached to it.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Status [<String[]>]
Specifies an array of current status values of devices. The acceptable values for this parameter are:??
-- OK

-- DEGRADED
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is
entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the
computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
