The basic input/output services (BIOS) that are installed on Windows devices.
Column | Description |
---|---|
DeviceGuid | The device that the BIOS belongs to. |
Description | A description of the object. |
Manufacturer | The manufacturer of the software element. |
Name | The name used to identify this software element. |
ReleaseDate | The release date of the Win32 BIOS in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format of YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.MMMMMM(+-)OOO. |
SerialNumber | The assigned serial number of this software element. |
SMBIOSBIOSVersion | The BIOS version as reported by SMBIOS. |
SMBIOSMajorVersion | The major SMBIOS version number. If SMBIOS not found, this property will be NULL. |
SMBIOSMinorVersion | The minor SMBIOS Version number. If SMBIOS not found, this property will be NULL. |
Status | The current status of the object. Various operational and Non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Non-operational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states. |
