Get-CMDuplicateHardwareIdGuid

Module:
ConfigurationManager Module

View duplicate hardware identifiers by GUID.

Syntax

SearchByName (Default) 

Get-CMDuplicateHardwareIdGuid
    [-DisableWildcardHandling]
    [-ForceWildcardHandling]
    [<CommonParameters>]

SearchByIdMandatory 

Get-CMDuplicateHardwareIdGuid
    -Id <String>
    [-DisableWildcardHandling]
    [-ForceWildcardHandling]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to view duplicate hardware identifiers by GUID. Configuration Manager ignores these GUIDs for PXE boot and client registration. For more information, see Manage duplicate hardware identifiers.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: View all GUIDs

This example displays all duplicate hardware GUIDs from the site.

Get-CMDuplicateHardwareIdGuid | Select-Object SMBIOS_GUID

Example 2: Test for a specific GUID

The following example script checks if a specific GUID is found, and then writes a message based on the result.

$guid = "AB83D231-8C12-9413-FEBA-C0F9888B9290"

if ( Get-CMDuplicateHardwareIdGuid -Id $guid ) {
  Write-Host $guid "exists in the site"
} else {
  Write-Host $guid "doesn't exist!"
}
