I have the following script that creates a new class in the WMI called MonitorDetails which collects data from the registry for each monitor connected to a computer.

The Manufacturer field contains only the first 3 letters of the manufacturer.

I’ve added a hashtable to replace the 3 letters to a full name, but can’t get it to work.

Here’s the script including the hashtable:

<#
 # This script reads the EDID information stored in the registry for the currently connected monitors
 # and stores their most important pieces of identification (Name, Size, Serial Number etc) in WMI
 # for later retrieval by SCCM
 #>

# Reads the 4 bytes following $index from $array then returns them as an integer interpreted in little endian
function Get-LittleEndianInt($array, $index) {
    # Create a new temporary array to reverse the endianness in
    $temp = @(0) * 4
    [Array]::Copy($array, $index, $temp, 0, 4)
    [Array]::Reverse($temp)
    
    # Then convert the byte data to an integer
    [System.BitConverter]::ToInt32($temp, 0)
}

# Creates a new class in WMI to store our data
function Create-Wmi-Class() {
    $newClass = New-Object System.Management.ManagementClass("rootcimv2", [String]::Empty, $null); 

    $newClass["__CLASS"] = "MonitorDetails"; 

    $newClass.Qualifiers.Add("Static", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("DeviceID", [System.Management.CimType]::String, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["DeviceID"].Qualifiers.Add("key", $true)
    $newClass.Properties["DeviceID"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("ManufacturingYear", [System.Management.CimType]::UInt32, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["ManufacturingYear"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("ManufacturingWeek", [System.Management.CimType]::UInt32, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["ManufacturingWeek"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("DiagonalSize", [System.Management.CimType]::UInt32, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["DiagonalSize"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties["DiagonalSize"].Qualifiers.Add("Description", "Diagonal size of the monitor in inches")
    $newClass.Properties.Add("Manufacturer", [System.Management.CimType]::String, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["Manufacturer"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("Name", [System.Management.CimType]::String, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["Name"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Properties.Add("SerialNumber", [System.Management.CimType]::String, $false)
    $newClass.Properties["SerialNumber"].Qualifiers.Add("read", $true)
    $newClass.Put()
}
