Hi there
I have written a program called compname.exe that renames computers to match serial numbers found in the SMBIOS (which Dell call the Asset Tag).
My program seems to work on a wide range of systems, including nearly all Dells. If you run my program with the /s switch, it outputs all the model and serial numbers it can find.
However, the Dell Latitude X200 and, as reported by someone using my program, the Gateway E-4200 and Gateway E4000 Profile don't produce anything. I know that all these systems have SMBIOS data in them.
Anyway, http://www.willowhayes.co.uk/smbios/dellx200.bios is a raw dump of the X200 and http://www.willowhayes.co.uk/smbios/OptiPlexGX260.bios is a reference dump for a machine for which compname.exe works perfectly.
My real query is whether anyone knows of any anomilies in the way these machines store their SMBIOS data
SMBIOS data inaccessible on Dell Latitude X200
dmiscope can do the some thing.
