Dual Monitor Collection?

Avatar

Does anyone know if there is a simple way to make a collection based on workstations which have more than 1 monitor? Eg. Desktop Computers with 2 or more monitors and/or Laptops with External monitor/s attached.

    You can easily do it with PowerShell

    Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Videocontroller | Select-Object VideoModeDescription, Caption, SystemName | Out-File \$uncpath$env:COMPUTERNAME.txt

    Once you combine all the txt files into a single csv file (you can do it with notepad++), you will have your report.

    Thanks Wei, Appreciate PowerShell command. How would one inject this into PDQ Inventory so that it processes and holds all the magic on the fly? Sorry, I only get to use PDQ about once every month or so due to the crazy nature of my position.

    I would just push out the code using PDQ Deploy then collect the result from the network share folder ($Your_UNC_Path) or you can create you own "Scan Profile" using the WMI option in PDQ Inventory.

    Thank you again Wei, I'll see how that goes when I get time.
