Windows, smartcard and automatic locking

I had a little problem with one Windows XP dell laptop where we use smartcards.
Normally when you remove smartcard from the laptop windows will lock your desktop but
this time windows didn’t do nothing when you removed smartcard from the laptop.
I tried to reinstall some software but that didn’t help at all but then I found one little
setting on the windows registry.

You can find that setting here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and there should be one key called “scremoveoption” which should be 1.
If it’s 3 your windows machine will shutdown if you remove smartcard and if it’s 0 like it was on this
laptop your computer doesn’t do anything when you remove smartcard.

So I just changed 0 to 1 and this issue was solved :-)

How to retrieve serial number of proliant server

This time I needed to get serial number of hp ProLiant DL380 server without taking the server out or even going next to that server so I find out that it’s pretty easy to get serial number of that server with a sort wmic command and some magic parameters.

Just open command prompt and say:

wmic /node:HOSTNAME bios get serialnumber

And you should get lines like:

SerialNumber
ABC123DEFG456

And of course you can also do something like this:

wmic /node:%computername% bios get serialnumber

This same tip probably work most of ProLiant servers.
