Do you have troubles with collecting the BIOS Serial Numbers?

I had a problem with my Windows Inventory, where a certain number of machines were not gathering inventory traditionally collected by the Serial Number Inventory Agent (AeXSNPlus.exe).

I deduced that the machines that did not return this data all seemed to have irregular system drives (i.e. the SystemDrive was set to E:, F: or...) rather than being C:. Also, I remembered (from the ) that AeXSNPlus.exe by default uses the root of the C: drive as temporary storage for its data before compiling the SNPlus.nsi!

While investigating the Serial Number agent, I found the /datapath switch which can change the temporary directory to where you want it. As a result, I reckoned that all AeXInvSolnAdm.ini files should be by default set to include the following in the aexsnplus.exe line:

aexsnplus.exe /output xml /datapath %TEMP%

or

aexsnplus.exe /output xml /datapath %SYSTEMDRIVE%\

Well, I thought that might help someone else, anyway.
