Recently, I encountered a strange issue after adding ATI Catalyst 10.4 Display Drivers to an offline Windows 7 image using the DISM.EXE /Add-Driver command. On systems that had an ATI Radeon video card, a UAC prompt would pop up the first time a user logged on and got to the desktop:
Important: Due to changes to Dell’s website, the script below no longer works. An updated script is available on this page.
Updated: 2/14/2012
This is a VBScript that I wrote a few months ago as an example of how to retrieve warranty information from the Dell website. The script writes warranty information to subkeys under HKLM\Software\DellWarrantyInfo in the registry.
Dell doesn’t provide a web service for querying warranty information (that I know of), so I had to scrape the HTML. That means this script may stop working properly if Dell makes changes to the layout of their warranty information page. I wish Dell provided a more reliable method for retrieving warranty information.
Update 1/3/2011: Thanks to Patrick for letting me know that dell added a new column to the warranty information table. I updated the script to reflect this.
