Serial Number to Name a Folder dynamically.

_{Monday, February 18, 2019 3:31 PM}

Hi,

I am working with a CMD /Batch file where I have to mention the Directory name.

I am looking for a way to create a folder (Mkdir) with name same as PC Serial Number. And then reference this in batch file ... possible?

mkdir "C:\Same as PC Serial Number"

In batch file Xcopy "C:\Same as PC Serial Number"

You would have to use ,

wmic bios get serialnumber   and then pass that serial as a parmeter

Hi,

Well, I know that Serial Number can get with WMIC command,

WMIC BIOS GET SERIALNUMBER

My question was to create a folder with the name equals to serial number (the articles are renaming PC to serial number instead).

Hello,

Here is a thread where you can capture the serialnumber as a variable

You should be able to use the variable to create the folder can and with xcopy.
