JSI Tip 9235. How can a script determine the hardware profile that is currently booted?

Using REG.EXE, built into Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and later, or installed on Windows 2000 from the Support Tools on the operating system CD-ROM, I have scripted HardwareProfile.bat to return the active hardware profile key number and friendly name.

The syntax for using HardwareProfile.bat is:

call HardwareProfile Number FriendlyName

Where:

Number       is a call directed environment variable that will contain the <key number> of the active profile,
             as in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDConfigDB\Hardware Profiles\<key number>.

FriendlyName is a call directed environment variable that will contain the friendly name of the active profile.

HardwareProfile.bat contains:

@echo off
if \{%1\}==\{\} @echo Syntax: HardwareProfile Number FriendlyName&goto :EOF
setlocal
for /f "Tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDConfigDB" /V CurrentConfig^|FIND "REG_DWORD"') do (
 set /a profile=%%b
)
set /a profile=%profile% + 10000
set profile=%profile:~1%
for /f "Tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDConfigDB\Hardware Profiles\%profile%" /V FriendlyName^|Find "REG_SZ"') do (
 set FN=%%b
)
endlocal&set %1=%profile%&set %2=%FN%
