System Bios Date

[Guest Close Guest]

Hi,
I'm very new to this product.

I can see the system Bios Date under properties / system /other system information.
How can I export this or create a report showing this for every server.

Thanks

Re: System Bios Date

You'd have to test this on a few computers to make sure it looks correct, but WMI has a class called Win32_BIOS. You can add that class and run against a selection of computers. Once finished there is a column called ReleaseDate that seems to correspond to the information you see in SystemBiosDate.

Thank you very much for the swift reply.
I am not sure that I fully understand what I need to do but I will give it a try later and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.

Hi cmccullough,

I have tried do as you suggested but being really new to this I am not able to do as you suggest.I don't know what add a class means.

This is what I have tried:
Right clicked a server.
WMI - Execute Query
New
Look up class

There is then a alphabetical list to choose from but no WIN32_Bios
It goes from Win32_ActionCheck to Win32_CheckCheck

Can you give give me an idiots guide to achieving this please.

Thank you

Re: System Bios Date

When you click New, don't use the Lookup Class option, simply type in the name of the class.

Re: System Bios Date

Hello again... Still can't get this to work.

I have done as suggested and typed the name of the class in the name field. I typed Win32_BIOS and clicked OK.
The fields that now appear are:
Path
Namespace
Server
Derivation
Property count
Relpath
Dynasty
Superclass
Class
Genus

I can't see anything for Release date...
When I add all the fields available and run there is nothing that comes back as all fields are blank.

Am I doing something wrong?
