okay after doing some research I found using Windows Managment Instrumentation can show me the the serial number that is stored in the bios. Now there has to be a way I can connect to my remote machine WMI and pull this info.

Does this information help any ?

The Win32_BIOS WMI class represents the attributes of the computer system's basic input/output services (BIOS) that are installed on the computer.. But I think this applies to VB5 & VB6 =(
there has to be something for .net also.


kleinma, thanks for your reply. But what do you think about the information I posted above ?

szlamany, I called up Dell and the tech that I spoke to said it can't be done. And I say YES it can. Also the software that your are talking about where I can change the information inside the BIOS to refelect another motherboard I have that and you can probably download it. It's called Dell Portable Asset Tag Utility.

Any more thoughts ???


Thanks
