WMIC Bios

[TropicalBound]

Hello,

If I run the command: wmic bios get serialnumber straight from the command prompt, it returns the following:

SerialNumber

1234567

However, If I run it in an Autoit script: _RunDOS("wmic bios get serialnumber >> c:\serial.txt"), it returns the following:

S e r i a l N u m b e r

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and why the spaces are present?

Thanks!!

ha har, thats exactly what I'm working on now, and I've nearly finished, here's the code you need to pull back info

;output.
                        $objSWbemLocator = ObjCreate("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
                        If Not IsObj($objSWbemLocator) Then
                        EndIf

                        $objSWbemServices = $objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer("remotepc", "root\cimv2", "yourdomain" & "\" & "yourusername", "Yourpassword")
                        If Not IsObj($objSWbemServices) Then
                        EndIf

                        $objSWbemServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
                        
                        ;Bios
                        $colItems = $objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("select * from Win32_BIOS")
                        If IsObj($colItems) Then
                            For $objItem In $colItems
                                $Name = $objItem.name
                                $SN = $objItem.SerialNumber
                            Next
                        EndIf

I use either a IP range or a workstation list in .csv format for the workstation names.

heres what mine looks like so far.
