Using HWQUERY

HWQUERY is used from a script, in conjunction with other utilities, to control the deployment. The HWQUERY utility enables you to use data from the hardware discovery file in your own scripts. HWQUERY cannot alter environment variables directly. To set the variable, the output of HWQUERY must be used by the hosting script. The most common way to use it is to write the output to an intermediate script that is subsequently called by the hosting script.
