As others noted, PE 2004 supports WMI if you build it using the /WMI switch. Then you just need a VBS or WSH script to read what you want. For example, this will pull the serial number from the BIOS. strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_BIOS") For each objBIOS in colBIOS serialnumber = objBIOS.SerialNumber Next Microsoft's Scriptomatic tool will help you create quick WMI code.
