Hi guys,

I have encountered a strange issue, WMI query to Win32_PnPSignedDriver might return yyyyddmmhhMMss.***+*** instead of yyyymmddhhMMss.***+***, is there a way to know which format was returned at a particular query on some particular item? or should it always return yyyymmddhhMMss.***+*** every time and that's just a bug? Hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Neemobeer for the clarification.
my guess on this would be the component that was providing driverdate infomation to the WMI provider are giving the wrong format to it, can you confirm this?
