We are using a bar code system to image computers. Boot them to pe, open the webpage, select the image job to run, scan the serial number(s) of the device(s) you want to image, and then run.
However, when booting to pe3, the SMBIOS information does not show up, and is not included in the inv_aex_ac_identification table. Any thoughts or suggestions?
