Is it possible to change the Motherboard serialNumber value with WMI?

$SN = Get-WmiObject Win32_BaseBoard
$SN.SerialNumber="123456"
$SN.put()
$SN.SerialNumber

The error I got was:

Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Provider is not capable of the attempted operation "
0

In short no. I wouldnt expect that to work. The properties of Win32_BaseBoard are read-only as per MSDN

SerialNumber

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Assuming your BIOS supports it, in most cases, you would have to change it there. That's what i did for some old dells boards to keep our inventory in check.
