firmware inventory

The firmware inventory tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions and scripts for assessing firmware readiness, particularly in enterprise IT environments. A recent thread highlights a Microsoft PowerShell inventory script for Secure Boot certificate rotation readiness. This script captures hostname, Secure Boot state, registry keys, event log entries (Event IDs 1801 and 1808), and WMI/CIM details like OS version and baseboard information. It helps IT teams build a firmware-aware inventory mapping OEM, model, and firmware to Secure Boot servicing status. The tag focuses on practical, procedural approaches for firmware inventory management, especially for security and compliance tasks.
