c++ - Detect BIOS from WinPE: Legacy or UEFI, using vbs // Outputting results from a .exe to .txt -


here scenario:

i have server 2 possible configurations: 2-tb hdd require no special treatment or 3-tb hdd require uefi bios , gpt partition boot os.

i trying create single installation usb key able detect whether bios 'legacy' or 'uefi' , execute deployment script accordingly.

i looked hard wmi can make distinction no avail.

the closest came solution post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winservermanagement/thread/6cbb488d-3062-4aad-b712-7a9e4d045b13

detectefi.exe works in detecting bios type, can't output result don't know how use it.

i have 2 questions:

  1. is there wmi can use distinguich between 2 set-ups.

  2. (if answer question 1 no) there way output results c++ compiled .exe file .txt or other form , make use of result (i have no c++ skills @ all)

if interested how fixed problem. created vbs linking .exe

    set objshell = createobject("wscript.shell") set objwshscriptexec = objshell.exec("detectefi.exe") set objstdout = objwshscriptexec.stdout  dim islegacy dim isuefi  islegacy = false isuefi = false  while not objstdout.atendofstream    strline = objstdout.readline     if strline = "legacy"       islegacy = true    end if     if strline = "uefi"       isuefi = true    end if wend   if islegacy    wscript.echo "this legacy"      set objshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")     objshell.run "2tbdeploy.cmd",1,true     set objshell = nothing  end if   if isuefi    wscript.echo "this uefi"      set objshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")     objshell.run "3tbdeploy.cmd",1,true     set objshell = nothing  end if
