Get Hard disk serial number without WMI

You can use cookies, but that too is easily defeated by clearing them. How about requiring each user to login first, then you can track the user more easily.

dear all,
i have a website for voting to candidate
www.oma2008.com"arabic language" in kuwait

and if you want to give your vote to a candidate, just you can give it one time.

i reserve IP addressof the user.
buti face here 2 proplems.

First proplem:
if we have a network contain "50 users",
if some one make a vote from this network,
then others users can't make a vote, because i record his IP address in my database.

Second proplem:
i face now a proplem with some one, that he have a software, he change his IP address dynamicly
so he can change his IP address each time and make a vote.

so my resault now is not right.

so my question is:
can any one help me in this case to record the Mac Address or Hard disk serial number of the client side

please help me

kind regards

This is something I would assume would not work across a browser without an applet, but...

hi man,


thanks for your reply,


actually i think about cookies, but i found it not working and it easly to delete.


and about login form, also i think about it, but i refuse it because i need when you try to vote i need the operation is easy to vote


not make a account and activate your account by email


this will take some time may be 5 or 10 min to make account


and you knowmantality ofarab.


they need something easy to use.


and i think the best way is, get Mac address ot Hard disk serial number of the client that he want to make a vote.


so can you provide me for article or example that i can record the Mac address or Hard disk serial number????


thanks

Hi Kareem,
You need a solution for an Internal network, not the public Internet?

Using that code you can create an activeX applet but you will need to have everyone install it.
We did that at Siemens so each desktop was locked to their local IE, for security.
Both Dell and Gateway also do this now for customer systems.
They can access your system and pull up the ID from your processor.
Many years ago I also designed a system for this sort of thingfor Ford/Mazda.
Each company uses DataMytes to place Federally mandated records in their systems.
For Federal records we had to verify which user and system was being used.
