NOTE: See How to Configure Memory Protection in Windows XP SP2?
Using Wmic.exe, I have scripted DEP.bat to determine if Hardware DEP is available on my computer, and how it is configured.
To use Hardware DEP:
- The computer's processor must support DEP.
- The DEP functionality must be enabled in the BIOS.
- The computer must be running Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, or later versions.
- The computer must have Hardware-enforced DEP enabled for programs.
The syntax for using DEP.bat is:
DEP HA SP
Where:
HA is a call directed environment variable that will contain TRUE or FALSE to indicate Hardware DEP. SP is a call directed environment variable that will contain:
| SP | Description |
| 0 | DEP is not enabled for any processes. |
| 1 | DEP is enabled for all processes. |
| 2 | DEP is enabled for all processes, but Administrators can exclude specific programs. |
| 3 | Only operating system components and services use DEP. This is the default. |
@echo off

setlocal
for /f "Skip=1 Tokens=*" %%a in ('wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_Available') do (

for /f "Skip=1 Tokens=*" %%a in ('wmic OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_SupportPolicy') do (
set SP=%%a
)
set HA=%HA: =%
set SP=%SP: =%
