I wanted to determine the manufacturer and model number of a motherboard in a
Windows server at a remote location. I didn't want to drive a half hour there,
open up the system's case to make that determination, and drive a half hour
back home. Since I have
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to the system, I connected by RDP and
ran the
WMIC command wmic baseboard get
product,manufacturer,model,serialnumber,version from a
command prompt. I saw the following output:
C:\>wmic baseboard get product,manufacturer,model,serialnumber,version Manufacturer Model Product SerialNumber Version 00000000000000000000000000000000 S03 Server QCHCNB3440135 Revision A C:\>
Since the manufacturer was listed as a string of all zeros, I decided to install the free Speccy program from Piriform. When I installed and ran the software, it also showed all zeros for the manufacturer.
