HARDWARE FINGERPRINT GENERATOR WINDOWS
Methods should be valid for IDE and SCSI HDD types, and work on Windows Vista to 10, WITHOUT the need of admin rights. Methods should NOT be based on WMI or Registry, and need to stay the same when HD is formated, partitioned and in different Windows versions. PnP ranking would then select the best match of these two for installation.I need a Delphi unit with reliable methods (procedures and functions) to get a unique computer ID (fingerprint) based on:Ī 32 digit (hexa) ID should be generated by an exported function, mixing all the collected data.

Which one will be selected by the Windows Update Service for systems that match CHID-5? Contoso Systemīoth are offered.
HARDWARE FINGERPRINT GENERATOR DRIVERS
All applicable CHID targeted drivers from CHID-0 through CHID-14 are grouped together then PnP ranking occurs on the entire group.Ĭontoso has the following two drivers published as Automatic that target the same HWID but with different CHID.ĭistribution 1 - targeting CHID-4 (Manufacturer + Family + Product Name + SKU Number)ĭistribution 2 - targeting CHID-5 (Manufacturer + Family + Product Name) Windows Update ranks each CHID from CHID-0 to CHID-14 where CHID-0 outranks CHID-14ĬHID level is no longer ranked. The Windows Update service treats CHID differently depending on which Windows OS level is installed. This reduction is the first thing that happens before PnP ranking is done.
HARDWARE FINGERPRINT GENERATOR DRIVER
The Windows Update service uses CHID to "reduce the number of systems that a driver is applicable to". For example, if the SMBIOS SKU field is null, then CHIDs 0, 3, 4 6 and 7 will not be available for that particular system.įor more information about CHIDs, see Specifying Hardware IDs for a Computer. If an SMBIOS data field is missing (or it is null), then any related CHIDs are not generated.
The ComputerHardwareIds tool only computes CHIDs that have the necessary SMBIOS values available. Upper and lower case versions of special characters, such as the Turkish dotted and un-dotted letter I, are treated uniquely: I, ı, İ and i are not the same. Similarly, UNICODE characters are not specially treated. Care must be taken to ensure that systems do not mix cases in SMBIOS text values.
This allows you to determine which CHIDs would be generated on a system with specific SMBIOS data values.ĬHIDs are generated based on case sensitive SMBIOS values. You can run the tool with simulated SMBIOS values (such as manufacturer, family, and SKU) to get a list of generated CHIDs. Simulation behavior: The tool generates CHIDs from user provided SMBIOS values. ComputerHardwareIds performs two different tasks.ĭefault behavior: The tool reports the system's SMBIOS values and generated CHIDs.īy default, the tool displays the system’s SMBIOS values, and the CHIDs that are generated from the SMBIOS values. The ComputerHardwareIds tool, included in the Windows Desktop Tools SDK, can help with reporting CHIDs from a known set of System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) values. OEMs must provide the correct CHID information to the driver publisher.

The table shows the hierarchy in descending order of specificity. These new CHIDs are included in the CHID hierarchy as shown in the table below. Windows 10 adds several new CHIDs that incorporate Baseboard Manufacturer and Baseboard Product information. Computer Hardware IDs (CHIDs) are defined in the Specifying Hardware IDs for a Computer.
