I found some VB code that should get the Motherboard Serial number.

Can anyone convert this to FWH ?


Jeff

Code: Select all

Public Function MBSerialNumber() As String

'RETRIEVES SERIAL NUMBER OF MOTHERBOARD
'IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE MOTHERBOARD, THE SERIAL
'NUMBERS WILL BE DELIMITED BY COMMAS

'YOU MUST HAVE WMI INSTALLED AND A REFERENCE TO
'Microsoft WMI Scripting Library IS REQUIRED

Dim objs As Object

Dim obj As Object
Dim WMI As Object
Dim sAns As String


Set WMI = GetObject("WinMgmts:")
Set objs = WMI.InstancesOf("Win32_BaseBoard")
For Each obj In objs
  sAns = sAns & obj.SerialNumber
 If sAns < objs.Count Then sAns = sAns & ","
Next
MBSerialNumber = sAns
End Function

    LOCAL oJob

    FOR EACH oJob IN oJbs
