Adding to Serial number to the name in Device Manager

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I am writing a Bus Driver, which creates 3 child PDOs for each device.
So, to identify which child PDO belongs to which parent FDO, I would like to attach the serial number of the device to the parent FDO name(Friendly name) in Device Manager.

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks in advance,
Aad

That would require a coinstaller to manually change the name, lots of effort for almost zero benefit. And more code you have to maintain. If all you want to do is know the serial number when looking at device manager, set a custom propid property with the serial number in the bus driver and you can see it in the details tabs
