Thanks Hi, WMI comes builtin with WinME/Win2k/WinXP/Win2k3, but to be able to use it on Win9x or NT4, you will need to install the WMI core. WMI CORE 1.5 for Windows NT 4.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...eleaseID=18491 WMI CORE 1.5 for Windows 95/98 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...eleaseID=18492 To use WMI to obtain BIOS information: Win32_BIOS class [WMI] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...win32_bios.asp For an example, see "Retrieving BIOS Information" he http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...c/default.mspx Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide / Retrieving Information About the BIOS http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr..._cpm_jtzr.mspx -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx |
