Get NI RMC 8355 motherboard and CPU serial number programmatically

[Gevorg]

Hi all,

I need to read the motherboard or CPU serial numbers of the NI RMC 8355 programmatically.

I have tried to use "wmic baseboard get serialnumber" comand in cmd, but it returns "0123456789", which apparently is not a valid serial number.

Does anyone have any idea how I can read that information?

Is there any toolkit or LabVIEW VI which will do that job.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gevorg,

You should be able to accomplish this using Active X controls or property nodes...I'd start with the Active X.

Hi Kristen,

Thanks for your answer. I couldn't get the data neither by invoke nodes nor by property nodes.

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks,

Gevorg

Gevorg,

This is a Windows property that you can access the same way you would with a desktop PC, using the 'wmic baseboard get serialnumber' command.

Kristen,

As I mentioned in my first message, the 'wmic baseboard get serialnumber' command returns "0123456789" as  a serial number. But it is not a correct result. I tried the same command on several desktop PCs, and some of them returned the serial number, and the others did not.

Best regards,

Gevorg
