I am using a 3rd party application which reads the system's serial number
from WMI. We have some older hardware whose BIOS does not support this. I
understand that there is a way to manually create this entry into WMI so
that it could be read. I know that this is a WinXP group, but the OS on this
older hardware is Win98 and Win2000.
My hope is to right a small script that our technicians can run which would
ask for input (the serial number), store this information in the necessary
format, and then finish the script by writing this information as necessary
to be pulled from WMI.
I found this web page
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sms/sms2/featusability/sms-regx.mspx)
that kind of describes what I am thinking. I don't know if this is the best
resource to accomplish my goal. If anyone has any input, it would be most
appreciated!
