The script I am working on will Return matching driver objects.
i.e.
$driverMatch = Get-CimInstance Win32_PnPSignedDriver | Select-Object ClassGuid, DeviceName, DriverVersion, InfName | Where-Object {$_.ClassGuid -eq "$ClassGUID" -and $_.DeviceName -like "$DisplayName"}
The script user will have three variables to use as input: The generic search query to match the driver description ($DisplayName); the device class guid ($ClassGUID); and the part I'm having a problem with an array of exclude strings ($ExcludeDisplayName)
I my head I am getting a "set of objects that match my first criteria; ClassGUID and DisplayName. Then I am going a step further, checking the DeviceName of those objects for a match again my exclude strings and if found throwing those objects out.
This would in the end leave me with a set of objects that match the classGUID and the generic display name and do not have any of the exclude strings included in their name.
[string]$DisplayName = "*USB*" # Search Query to Match Driver Description. Be sure to include * (wildcards) where appropriate
[string]$ClassGUID = "{36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}" # DeviceID - Use the following; Device Manager \ Device \ Details Tab \ Device class guid Property
[String[]]$ExcludeDisplayName = "*Generic*","*Root*"
$driverMatch = Get-CimInstance Win32_PnPSignedDriver | Select-Object ClassGuid, DeviceName, DriverVersion, InfName | Where-Object {$_.ClassGuid -eq "$ClassGUID" -and $_.DeviceName -like "$DisplayName"} | Where-Object {$ExcludeDisplayName -notcontains $_.DeviceName}
The problem is the second Where-Object \ filter doesn't work. It isn't filtering out the objects that match the exclude wildcards
