Powershell or similar command to pull Bios and ILO Version Numbers

[Andre Southgate]

Hi. 

For some reason, querying the BIOS version on Gen10 Servers, doesn't return the actual version of the firmware on the servers motherboard. 

Running: 

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_BIOS

On a G9 gives the version and date of the BIOS. Running it on G10 hardware gives the date, and the server series number like U33.

How can I query both Gen8,9 and 10 to get the Date and proper version number. Also, would love to know how I can query for the ILO Firmware version too.

TIA

Hi @Andre Southgate ,

You may download this Scripting Tools for Windows PowerShell: iLO cmdlets

and refer to the section "Establishing a connection to an iLO 4 server" for Gen 8 and Gen 9 servers and section "Establishing a connection to an iLO 5\iLO 6 server" for Gen 10 servers from this document 

Thank you!
