Computer Serial

[Derek Yast]

I read somewhere that you can not only retrieve the Computer and/or BIOS
serrial from WMI, but you could also update it via WMI.

Likewise, I seem to remember that there are other fields within the
Win32_BIOS or Win32_ComputerSystem classes that can be customized for other
information that you may deem important.

All Win32_ComputerSystem properties are read-only. You cannot update
these properties using WMI. You need the OEM supplied software.

There are a few properties in the Win32_ComputerSystem class that are
read/write properties.

Yeah - just what I suspected. Can't increase my memory as it's "read-only".

Seriously - there are some very good writable properties here.
