Reading Computer Information

Hello everybody,
please gimme a hint.
I'm trying to read out informations belonging to the computer, for example:
- the serial number of a HDD
- processor ID
or something like this.
It have to be a value, that's not changing every five seconds, you know?
Do not tell me something 'bout System.getProperties(), it's not containing what I'm looking for
best regards and thanks

Anything that low level will normally require you to write some platform specific JNI code.
As a quick 'n' dirty solution, you could execute ( in Windows ),
the "vol c:" command and catch the output.
It prints out the disk label & disk serial id.
regards,
Owen

  • Can't use "read the information"

    hello every body
    first excuse my english... I'm french and my studdies are far...
    I can't use "read the informations" .
    When I try, nothing appens and within a few seconds, the finder restarts.
    if I did something wrong, I did it on my two computers (pb G4 ti and imac G5) same problem on both...
    thank you for your answers...

    You will be able to the get this information using the VISA Driver Development Wizard. You can read more about this tool at the following link:

  • I love new updates; I read the information, but missed that Dashland, as with last update, does not work. Can't live without it. I've updated. Now, what to do?

    Last update clearly informed me that Dashlane did not work with the update. I read the information this morning before downloading and did not see that once again, Dashlane will not work. I must have access to my passwords. Do I have any recourse other than re-installing the last version of Firefox? Or, using Safari in the interim so I can use iCloud to reveal passwords?

  • Missing "illustrations" tab and read-only information

    After a Windows XP Home repair, no illustration tab and read-only information by new music downloads. Have most recent itunes. Can someone help me...please?

    Thanks Gilad, In that case, is there then a way (via a script) that if I leave field 2 as not readonly, so the cursor moves into this field on tab out of field one, that I can reject any input from the user, if field one does not contain any data ? I thought this might be a solution. I have the script with the If Else statement, that sets the value of field 2 to "", if the value of field 1 is also "", but what is the else statement required to accept the value, if the content of field 1 is not "" ?.
    The script preoduces an error, if field 1 is blank, and I try to enter data into field 2 and then tab out of field.

  • Problem with Import Computer Information Wizard not doing check for MAC or GUID already in database

    Hi,
    My client is using SCCM 2012 RTM in a standalone site.
    Yesterday, a technician was preparing computers to deploy OS. He was in a replace scenario and mistakenly mixed the MAC address of the source computer with the one of the new computer.
    So when importing computer information for the new one, he entered the wrong MAC address; the one of the source computer already existing in the SCCM database.
    I expected the Import Computer Information wizard to generate an error, but no, the import was successful resulting with the source computer DDR being overwritten...
    We spent (and lost) time recreating the DDR for the source computer so we could create the computer association for USMT migration.
    2 years ago, I opened a call with Microsoft for the exact same issue with SCCM 2007. At that time, they told me that no hotfix would be developped for this bug since there was a workaround (overwritten DDR will re-create itself with Heartbeat
    discovery over time) and SCCM 2012 was coming up.
    It seems to me that they forgot to fix the issue in 2012. It doesn't seem to be fixed with SP1 as I didn't find anything about it in SP1 doc..
    Can someone confirm this bug and can Microsoft do something? Or is there a hotfix already available for it?
    Tnx
    Patrick

    Well you could always remove the Delete Resource permission from the technicians User Rights :P
    The option to not overwrite the existing computer object, is right there in the SDK.
    So it's anyone's guess, why they haven't added an checkbox in the Import Computer Information wizard and why overwrite is set as the default.
    Anyways...you can use the following PowerShell script instead of the Import Wizard.
    Just open up a PowerShell console, type in . X:\Path\To\Script\ScriptName.ps1 and
    then type New-SCCMComputer
    Or you can create a shortcut with the following target %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command . X:\Path\To\Script\New-SCCMComputer.ps1; New-SCCMComputer
    You will need to change the default values for $SiteServer and $SiteCode to your environment
    Function New-SCCMComputer
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteServer = "Server.Domain.Local",
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$False)] $SiteCode = "PS1",
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,HelpMessage="Please Enter the Computers Name")] $ResourceName,
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,HelpMessage="Please Enter the Computers MAC ")] $ResourceMAC
    #ImportComputer
    $WMIConnection = ([WMIClass]"\\$($SiteServer)\root\SMS\Site_$($SiteCode):SMS_Site")
    $NewEntry = $WMIConnection.psbase.GetMethodParameters("ImportMachineEntry")
    $NewEntry.MACAddress = $ResourceMAC
    $NewEntry.NetbiosName = $ResourceName
    $NewEntry.OverwriteExistingRecord = $False
    $Resource = $WMIConnection.psbase.InvokeMethod("ImportMachineEntry",$NewEntry,$null)
    if ($Resource)
    if ($Resource.MachineExists) {
    Write-Host "ERROR: MACAddress allready exists" -foregroundcolor red
    } else {
    Write-Host "Succesfully imported the computer information" -foregroundcolor green
    } else {
    Write-Host "ERROR: Could not import the computer information" -foregroundcolor red

  • Read Computer Name

    Can we read 'Computer Name' and display in text field when the PDF form is loaded? Can someone give me syntax?

    I don't think you can - this would be an opportunity for a security leak if it were possible - you'd be able to get the name of the computer and then via WSDL tell someone else the name of the computer the user is using.
    You can get the platform (xfa.host.platform) and the host application (xfa.host.name, usually "Acrobat") but nothing that's particularly identifying.

  • Reading Mount Information getting Error 5 Access is Denied

    Dear SAPgurus,
    I am trying to install SAP ECC 5 IDES version from windows server 2003 OS, the central instance installation is giving error "Access is Denied" While reading mount information for C:\.
    While my windows server 2003 is installed on drive D. I am having windows Vista on Drive C:\ which is preloaded while buying laptop.
    I am logged in as Built-In Administrator user id.
    The message in the log looks like this:
    Trace
    reading mount information for 'C:/
    Error 2007-11-06

    I have the same problem.
    I bought my machine with Vista preloaded. I installed Windows 2003 on it. - using a fresh 2003 Enterprise Server Windows 2003 disk.
    Now, While installing the SAP R/3 4.7x, I am getting the same error. Do you all think that I should add the permissions to SAP id's and then try. I am doing all the work as the system administrator. I also gave full permissions to all the drives. But one thing I did not do is to create partitions.
    I have C: Drive and H Drive.
    I installed my Windows 2003 on H drive and I now want to install SAP on the C drive. Would that be a problem.
    Here are my details:
    Machine: 2003 Enterprise
    RAM: 5 GB ( Yes, It is 5 )
    Hard Drive: SATA RAID Intel
    Partitions: C: ( 220GB) and H: 10GB
    Database: Oracle 9.2.1 with patches
    SAP: 4.7x
    I keep getting the Access denied error all the time.
    Please help.

  • My mac mini won't back up to my Seagate external drive but can read the information on it. Can i back up to it at all?

    My mac mini won't back up to my Seagate external drive but can read the information on it.
    Can i back up to it at all? and how do i do it?
    Simon

    I suspect the Seagate is not formatted to be used with the Mac. The correct format would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled), if you just bought the EHD then almost certainly it's formatted to be used with MS Windows machines. This is easy to fix, here are instructions on how to format it:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    After formatting Time Machine http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427 will launch and will begin backing up. The first backup will take some time however after the first backup it will go pretty quickly.
    NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After formatting all data will be erased, so please if you have data on that move it to the internal HD first and then format. Then once you have backed up you will have a backup copy of the data. Also NEVER EVER use a backup disk to be used to store data. The reason being is if that drive crashes you have not only lost the data you have lost it's backup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • After update, no computer information, no reports

    After installing OS X 10.5.x on a PPC (upgrade from 10.4.11.) I experience several issues. One of them is related to ARD 3.3:
    After doing the upgrade, installing all other updates and security fixes, I'm just able to view and control computers via ARD, but don't get any system information, cannot create reports or even copy files by drag&drop.
    For example, the column "ARD" which shows the installed ARD version on the remote computer still holds the old version information, although I created a custom client installation program and installed it on the remote computer (XServe PPC G5).
    I tried everything (at least, what I know). Even trashing the preferences file of ARD did not work (just caused some work to me to set up everything again).
    At the remote computers, I ensured that ARD is enabled in system preferences and the user that logs in has sufficient permissions in ARD to create reports, etc..
    Have been there any changes made to new version of ARD regarding required ports that must be accessible on the remote computer ?
    Is there anything to check ? Are there known errors ?
    How can I verify that ARD client runs on the remote computers ?

    We have the same issue here on G5 2x2 GHz with Mac OS X 10.5.8:
    When I am try to get reports with the newly updated Apple Remote Desktop Admin Software 3.3, it works around a while and then tells me success for all clients.... and that's it. The only feedback I get is the fields which was received, but no report.
    Anyone any ideas?

  • MAP 8.5 reporting old computer information

    We have been running map at regular intervals during our refresh process. One of the things we notices is that if we replace a computer with a new one and give it the same computer name( this is done for app specific reasons), when we rerun map it show
    the machine but with stale data. For example: Machine A is Windows XP, we replace it with Machine B with Windows 7, but give it the same computer name. When we rerun Map the machine appears, but with the original machines IP address and OS information. This
    is leasing to an inflated machine count. Could this be DNS related?

    The MAP database is cumulative, but it will not overwrite data it has already collected. Each inventory scenario has a data set associated with it, and there is a lot of overlap between scenarios. When a scenario is selected, MAP expects to collect the data
    in that data set. Once MAP has collected a piece of data from that data set from a computer, it does not query that computer for that data again. If all of the expected data is collected, then MAP will skip that computer in subsequent inventory runs.
    If you were to choose a different inventory scenario that overlaps with the first scenario, but it also has data not previously collected, MAP will try those new queries on all current and previously discovered machines, but it will skip any queries that
    are part of the overlap and had been collected successfully in previous runs. MAP tracks these data points on a computer by computer basis. There is no way to “refresh” the data. If something in the environment changes, the only way to pick that up is to create
    a new database within MAP (File > Select databases) and run a new scan.

  • Problem witch Anyconnect - Reading computer certificate

    Hi everyone.
    We are having an issue with our Windows 8.1 domain computer and Anyconnect.
    We have deployed computer certificates to all our domain computers, and use them for our wireless networks, which works great.
    When Anyconnect is started as a domain user, it wont allow us to connect using the machine certificate. We get an error message saying: "Certificate validation failure" and the message history says: "No valid certificates available for authentication". 
    If we run anyconnect as an administrator, there are no problems, and the connection is established right away.
    We have tried giving domain users read access to: HKLM\software\microsoft\systemcertificates, but it didn´t help.
    We have tested the same setup on OSX Yosemite, and there it works fine.
    We have had succes deploying a user certificate to the user(Windows 8.1), but we will prefer using the computer certificate.
    Any ideas? If you need more information, please let me know.
    Best Regards

    From: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect31/administration/guide/anyconnectadmin31/ac03vpn.html
    "In the Preferences (Part 1) pane of Profile Editor, use the Certificate Store list box to configure in which certificate store AnyConnect searches for certificates. Use the Certificate Store Override checkbox to allow AnyConnect to search the machine certificate store for users with non-administrative privileges."

  • How to ensure your computer information is kept private and to prevent other devices from accessing it

    Recently I was on a public network and it seemed to me that my volume kept on increasing while I was trying to watch a video. I contemplated that it might be my key stuck, but it seemed fine every other time I used it (and is fine now at home). That led me to the conclusion that someone was probably remotely accessing my macbook's volume setting for some malicious prank.
    How would you be able to tell if a device is remotely connected to yours, without authorisation?
    ====
    I also looked up the possibility that people were using 'ssh' to harrass me. I'm not quite sure how it works, but I would like to make it so that people would not be able to find my computer's information to connect to it in the future.

    TM backups retain the same exact permissions as the originals. so if other users did not have access to them on the main drive, they won't have access to them on the backup drive either.
    and be VERY careful playing with permissions on the TM drive. it's easy to ruin TM backups that way.

  • Outlook: Collecting computer information on machine that email was sent from (GoToAssist/Outlook integration)

    Hey everyone, 
    I noticed our tier 1 help desk technicians are consistently asking for common information that typically isn't included in a ticket. For example, user emails our helpdesk which generates a ticket in Citrix
    GoToAssist, information such as asset tag is missing, so the tier 1 technician has to call the user to collect information. Is there a way to collect information from a machine that is sent via outlook? I was thinking we could mass deploy a rule that runs
    a script every time our helpdesk is in the TO box so that a form pops up or maybe a crawler collects information for us... such as the computer name which contains the asset tag inside of it. 
    Thanks all!
    T

    Hi,
    We can do few thing on this issue in this forum. What we can do is design a custom form in Outlook and distribute it to all users, then ask them to use the form when they send emails to the helpdesk.
    If you want to automate this process, you'll need to seek for some coding solution. You can post a question to the Outlook for Developers forum to get further assistance:
