Purpose

The command line alias console program DMIPRINT.EXE for Microsoft^® Windows^® NT decodes and prints the SMBIOS information embedded in the firmware alias BIOS.

Note: when started in its own console window, for example per double-click, DMIPRINT.EXE waits for a keypress before it exits and its console window closes; it beeps once and flashes the title bar of its console window to indicate this wait state.

Sample Output

DMIPRINT.AMD, DMIPRINT.LOG, DMIPRINT.TXT, DMIPRINT.ZEN, DMIPRINT.KBL, DMIPRINT.CFL and DMIPRINT.EXC show outputs for different SMBIOS versions.

Specification

DMIPRINT.EXE supports DMTF’s SMBIOS DSP0134 version 3.3.0, 25 September 2019.

Implementation and Build Details

DMIPRINT.EXE is a pure Win32 binary executable, written from scratch in ANSI C, built with the ~~Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2~~ Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2010 SP1 from update 2519277, but without the MSVCRT libraries, for use on Windows Server 2003 and newer versions of Windows NT as well as Windows PE 2.0 and newer versions.

DMIPRINT.EXE is available for the I386 alias x86 and AMD64 alias x64 processor architectures of Windows NT.

Note: DMIPRINT.EXE is neither based on other tools like dmidecode or libsmbios nor related to any of them!
