Computers do not store this sort of information within them, and it is very unlikely it would be stored in the BIOS. The only place I would expect it to be is on the sticker at the back or side of the computer case which is affixed when the computer is built.

Any word on the WDS and DHCP questions I answered earlier BTW?

I think this information does not exist on the system in any way.
Unique information you can get is BIOS version and date or the oldest file in harddisk.
You unique chance in some brand computers is to look the assembly date at the back or bottom of case.

I have yet to see a computer that stored this kind of information...what do you need this date for (maybe there is some other useful date in the system)?

Thats a nice plan...
Each machine after imaged has to be joined to the domain.So if we can find the machine added to Domain date then that's the acurate data that i need....
Where does ADS store that data?
