Need some help identifying if a smart reader is installed and what hardware name it has. i.e. Broadcom
I know the service name is scardsvr.exe so I have relevance to find if that exists on our computers.
q: (service name of it, exists image path of it) of services whose (service name of it as lowercase contains
"scardsvr") A: SCardSvr, True q: (service names of it, image paths of it) of services whose (service name of it as lowercase contains
"scardsvr") A: SCardSvr, %25SystemRoot%25\System32\SCardSvr.exe
But I also need to know the hardware name of the smart card reader. Any advice would be appreciated.
I googled for “smartcard broadcom wmi” which lead me to
this page
.
From that I would guess that this WMI query might point you down the right path:
selects “* from Win32_PnPSignedDriver Where DeviceClass = ‘SMARTCARDREADER’” of wmi
On my machine I get results if I leave off the “where” clause… but I don’t have any smart card readers installed so I don’t know if that will actually work.
