Returns the decimal serial number used to uniquely identify a disk volume.


object.SerialNumber

Remarks

The object is always a Drive object.

You can use the SerialNumber property to ensure that the correct disk is inserted in a drive with removable media.

The following code illustrates the use of the SerialNumber property:

function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath){

  var fso, d, s, t;

  fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

  d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(drvpath)));

  switch (d.DriveType)

  {

    case 0: t = "Unknown"; break;

    case 1: t = "Removable"; break;

    case 2: t = "Fixed"; break;

    case 3: t = "Network"; break;

    case 4: t = "CD-ROM"; break;

    case 5: t = "RAM Disk"; break;

  }   

  s = "Drive " + d.DriveLetter + ": - " + t;

  s += "<br>" + "SN: " + d.SerialNumber;

  return(s);

}

Function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath)

   Dim fso, d, s, t

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(drvpath)))

   Select Case d.DriveType

      Case 0: t = "Unknown"

      Case 1: t = "Removable"

      Case 2: t = "Fixed"

      Case 3: t = "Network"

      Case 4: t = "CD-ROM"

      Case 5: t = "RAM Disk"

   End Select

   s = "Drive " & d.DriveLetter & ": - " & t

   s = s & "<BR>" & "SN: " & d.SerialNumber

   ShowDriveInfo = s

End Function
