Looks like my newer servers are immune to this:
#Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\CIMV2\Dell -Class Dell_CMApplication -Filter "componentType = 'FRMW'" -ComputerName "localhost" | Select name,version
This returns: the name space root\cimv2\dell is "invalid".
So how does one obtain firmware versions through powershell now?
I know you asked for PowerShell, but...
If you download and set up OMSA, you can see the firmware versions through the webpage at https://<IP address of your server>:1311/. You can navigate using the drop-down menus on the right to see the Chassis and Storage Firmware Versions.
If you want to see the info through the command-line on a linux server, the omreport command(/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport) is the solution I've found. Perhaps there's something similar for Windows in PowerShell. Here's an example:
# omreport storage controller

This is obviously a bit late, but here is how to get the firmware from the iDRAC using PowerShell
param([
Parameter(Mandatory)]
[System.Net.IPAddress]$idracIp,
[Parameter(Mandatory)]
[pscredential]$credentials
)
$params = @{uri = "https://$($idracIp)/redfish/v1/UpdateService/FirmwareInventory";
Method = 'Get';
Headers = @{Authorization = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("$($credentials.GetNetworkCredential().username):$($credentials.GetNetworkCredential().password)"));
}
}
invoke-restmethod @params -SkipCertificateCheck | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Members
Preferably you use an x-auth token instead and use PSCredentials all the way through but that's how you do it with basic auth.
PS C:\Users\grant\Downloads> .\getFirmware.ps1 -idracIp 192.168.1.47
cmdlet getFirmware.ps1 at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
