Trying to run WMI obejct in Windows XPe

[Guest]

I am trying to run a Visual Basic script that will collect the serial number of a HP5700 thin client from the BIOS using WMI obeject call and I am getting an errors. Does Windows XPe support WMI calls

Below is the scrip

----------------------------------------------------------------

strComputer = ".

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:"
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2"
MsgBox "hello
Set colBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery
("Select * from Win32_BIOS"
MsgBox "hello1
For Each objBIOS In colBIO
strSerialNumber = objBIOS.SerialNumbe
MsgBox strSerialNumbe
En
Next

Jodisho,

You haven't mentioned the errors you are getting from running the script. XPein general (as it's based on XP binaries) supports WMI
technologies. However, it depends on what the manufacturer (HP in your case) has included in to the image whether WMI works within
the image or not.
The best way for you would be contacting the manufacturer for more info about the image you got and if WMI is included.
Another way could be exploring what is in the image (use Admin account). This way you can verify if WMI core is there. Also, check
the error you get and the EventView log as well. You may sometimes easy figure out what is missing. How to add it to your image -
next step and different story.

Jodisho,
There is a known issue with XPE and scripting, and there is an easy fix. I
would find it hard to believe that HP would overlook this particular issue,
but you check the registry for the following settings. Additionally, you
can save this a reg file and run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JSEFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JSEFile\Shell\Open2\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JSFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JSFile\Shell\Open2\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBEFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBEFile\Shell\Open2\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSFFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSFFile\Shell\Open2\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSHFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WScript.exe %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSHFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\CScript.exe %1"
