Solution

  • Take a look at the source of the DevCon utility which is included in the Windows Driver Kit (WinDDK) for Windows 2008 R2/Windows 7 (7.1.0).

    DevCon Sample

    DEVCON

    DevCon is a command-line tool that displays detailed information about devices, and lets you search for and manipulate devices from the command line. DevCon enables, disables, installs, configures, and removes devices on the local computer and displays detailed information about devices on local and remote computers. DevCon is included in the Windows DDK.

    This should point you to which API's you need.
