Get volume/disk serial number

[edwinb]

Hi all,

I cannot see it anywhere in the documentation but thought I would just ask for good measure.

Does ScriptMaster have the functionality to get the volume/disk serial number?

I know the Troi File Plugin can do this, but we don't need the other functionality of the plugin and for a simple job of just getting this number it does not warrant the developer cost of the Troi plug-in.

Many thanks

Ed

Yes, you can use SM run shell script with the VOL command or VOL C: as the 'command' argument.

Alternately you can write out a batch file from FM, say to temporary folder, e.g.

diskpart

select disk 0

detail disk

exit

and then run shell script on that to get the manufacturer and hardware SN

The hardware SN is fixed; the VOL SN changes when Windows is re-installed.

Note diskpart requires UAC

Also if you put diskid32 in a container, you can write it to a temp file & then run it using SM, it returns a wealth of information http://www.winsim.com/diskid32/diskid32.html including HW SN, drive Mfr, etc.
