VBscript and WMI to detect RILO cards

[John Serban]

Is there a way to use vbscript and WMI to detect the presence of RILO cards on servers running Windows 2000 or Windows 2003

Finding the iLO/RILOE driver is easy (see below). Finding the hardware without the driver is a bigger problem. I think you'd have to enumerate Win32_PnPEntity objects looking for specific PCI ID's.

On Error Resume Next

Set Service = GetObject("winmgmts:").Get("Win32_BaseService.Name='CpqRib'")
If Err <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "RILOE driver not installed"
ElseIf Service.State <> "Running" Then
WScript.Echo "RILOE driver not running"
Else
WScript.Echo "RILOE driver is running"
End If

Set Service = GetObject("winmgmts:").Get("Win32_BaseService.Name='CpqRib2'")
If Err <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "RILOE II driver not installed"
ElseIf Service.State <> "Running" Then
WScript.Echo "RILOE II driver not running"
Else
WScript.Echo "RILOE II driver is running"
End If

Set Service = GetObject("winmgmts:").Get("Win32_BaseService.Name='CpqCiDrv'")
If Err <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "iLO driver not installed"
ElseIf Service.State <> "Running" Then
WScript.Echo "iLO driver not running"
Else
WScript.Echo "iLO driver is running"
End If

Sorry for the yucky formatting. I can't control that.

Thanks for the information. I had to modify the script because the values are drivers and not services. Below is the script to find the specific driver names.
