Software to obtain serial numbers or service Tags on our network

[superatticman]

Hi all

 

Presently midway through a comprehensive hardware audit. Have a very accurate idea of what model of kit is assigned to users. Am now looking to obtain service tags and serial numbers. Short of verifying every machine manually is there anything that can resolve these types of detail???

 

Thanks

Spiceworks.....

We normally use the serial number of the device as the device name in SCCM. Makes life much easier when it comes to auditing etc.

or something simple like this powershell script on TechNet.

We use OCS Inventory NG to automate the collection hardware info, including serial numbers and BIOS version. For Dell machines, the service tag is the serial number reported. This then syncs into our inventory system (GLPI). A bit of a pig to set up, but very reliable. Spiceworks would be likely be a lot easier and give a similar level of hardware detail.

 

Such client-side agents are probably just gathering that info using WMIC.

Running this command will give you the machine's serial number:

wmic bios get serialnumber

I second Spiceworks, I use it all the time, helps to keep Helpdesk Tickets/Inventory/Machine changes etc

I use pdq inventory, it will gather all this info too.

Anothe vote for PDQ Inventory.

Save the following as a VB script to obtain the service tag of a Dell PC:

 

strComputer = "."Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")Set colSMBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery _("Select * from Win32_SystemEnclosure")For Each objSMBIOS in colSMBIOSWscript.Echo "Dell Service Tag: " & objSMBIOS.SerialNumberNext

PDQ Inventory or LanSweeper.

We use Lansweeper for network inventory and can highly recommend it.
