driverquery: Display a list of drivers for a remote machine.
$ driverquery /s ${hostname} /u ${username} /p ${password}
try on your machine

The command "driverquery /s ${hostname} /u ${username} /p ${password}" is used to query the installed drivers on a remote computer.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "driverquery" is the main command that is used to query the drivers.
  • "/s ${hostname}" specifies the hostname or IP address of the remote computer where the driver information needs to be retrieved from. The ${hostname} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address.
  • "/u ${username}" specifies the username to authenticate to the remote computer. The ${username} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual username.
  • "/p ${password}" specifies the password to authenticate to the remote computer. The ${password} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual password.

By using this command, you can remotely retrieve the list of drivers installed on another computer by providing the necessary authentication details.
