So long as that account has admin rights to the machine, it should work. The other possibility is that the data isn't being created by any providers installed on the machine. People keep asking "How do I get the serial number of my motherboard using WMI??". Well, if the manufacturer of the motherboard doesn't provide a WMI provider, you can't. On top of that, there's nothing that says the manufacturer, even though they are providing a WMI Provider, has to fill in these kinds of details.

Like I said in my previous post, I ran the code on one of my test machines (with 6 hard drives in it) and only 2 returned serial numbers!
