Dear,Are you meaning smbios from IBM company or is it another one?
Mostly we don't find it a problem that a little amount of PC's doesn't
handle the script for inventory in a correct way. Mostly we are using
such information for replacing or extending PC's before migration or
new software distribution starts.
We think that the amount of effort can be too big, when you try to
catch all machines.
F.e. we can't get the serial numbers of our mouses by any tool, but
information about
- processor type + speed
- memory size + type
- memory upgrade capabilties
- motherboard
- physical disksize + amount of diskpartition + amount of free diskspace
- cdrom available
is must easier.
For the missing information we fly to it, or we are calling the user
at a local site.
Greetings.btw: winmsd will create an error when you doesn't have a proper network configuration.
errors or a temporary windows we don't like.
most things on our site are going on without any notion by users.
