Learn how to find BIOS details using CMPivot query such as BIOS version, manufacturer, on all your Windows devices managed by SCCM
This article will demonstrate how to use a CMPivot query to retrieve BIOS information, including manufacturer and version, for all of your Windows devices that are SCCM-managed.
While auditing an organization’s SCCM setup, I was asked if it was possible to obtain BIOS information such as the manufacturer and version of devices using SCCM. This organization wanted to upgrade the BIOS of devices that had not been updated in many years.
Yes, it is possible to retrieve the BIOS information from devices because we know SCCM collects hardware data from devices. A CMPivot query can reveal most of your device’s BIOS details, which is useful for an organization. This information can tell you how many of your devices are running a specific version of BIOS.

Ways to gather the BIOS information
From what I know, there are multiple ways to determine the BIOS details of your device:
- One can manually enter the BIOS mode on a device and find the manufacturer and version of the BIOS.
- The built-in system information tool on Windows shows the BIOS version and the manufacturer.
- When using SCCM, a SQL query can also help you check the BIOS details of your devices.
- Lastly, a CMPivot query can quickly find out the BIOS information from your devices in SCCM.
CMPivot uses the KQL (Kusto Query Language) and it runs the query in real time on all currently connected devices in a selected collection.
List of BIOS Manufacturers
To use the CMPivot query to determine the BIOS manufacturer, you must first know the name of the manufacturer. You’ll need to enter the name of the BIOS manufacturer in the query before you run it.
Some of the more popular BIOS and motherboard vendors are as follows: Some of the more popular BIOS and motherboard vendors include:
- American Megatrends (AMI)
