How do you set O.E.M. System Information with a Sysprep Answer File?

0

There are a couple of entries in the Windows Registry involving hardware information that is pulled from the BIOS during the installation of Windows. These are stored in the following key:

HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS 

These entries default to motherboard manufacturer information but some of the entries stay as

To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Which of these entries can I explicitly set with Sysprep Components and which Components should I define?

You should defined those enteries you feel should be contain your information. – Ramhound – 2014-02-06T17:58:28.133

those data are read from the SMBIOS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_BIOS). The Motherboard vendor should include the data. Contact them for an BIOS update.

Is it possible to override these values? The MB Manufacturer (MSI in this case) does not seem to have any tool to edit the SMBIOS. Is this standard? – Mondrianaire – 2014-02-06T19:26:33.593
