Win32_BaseBoard WMI Class Not Available

Post by c0nsumer »

When running Windows XP (SP2) under VirtualBox (with tools), the Win32_BaseBoard WMI class is not available. This can be demonstrated by using Microsoft's Scriptomatic, selecting the 'root\CIMV2' namespace and the 'Win32_BaseBoard' class, leaving the language as VBScript, and selecting HTML for output. Running this script will return only the computer name, where on Virtual PC, VMWare, or dedicated hardware a bunch of information about the manufacturer, serial numbers, etc, will be returned.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make this work under VirtualBox?

Thanks!

-Steve
