Default Getting Computer SerialNumber


I have used the Win32_Bios class in the past to get the SerialNumber of a
computer. I am trying to use the same code on Vista that I have used with
other operating systems but the code does not return a value in Vista. Is
there something that I am missing?

Thanks
