Guest Account Restrictions

Question

I am working on a project where I have to validate the Platform for Intel Atom processor and Windows 7 OS.

I have Used:
ManagementClass mgmt = new ManagementClass("Win32_Processor");
//for Intel Atom, "Win32_OperatingSystem" for Win 7 OS

Now, This Logic is working fine when login as Admin or Standard user, But When login as Guest User I am getting System.UnauthorizedAccessException in method:
void ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32, IntPtr)
description: Access is denied

Is there any restriction for the Guest Account to fetch Platform details?

Thanks,
Sandeep Sisodiya

The easiest way to find this out is to download a simple tool which displays such data and run it on a guest account :) You'll get the answer.

What about some basic C# class to get your information?

Environment[^] and look at .OSVersion and .GetEnvironmentVariable(String).

string arch = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"); // AMD64
string archId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER"); // Intel64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel
string archLevel = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_LEVEL"); // 6
string archRevision = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_REVISION"); // 170a
