Usage and Config

Is anyone aware of either where the Proliant serial numbers are stored in Registry, or where they are stored in WMI? I used WMI explorer and tried to find them, but I didn’t have any luck.

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

Try:

if (exists wmi) then (string values of selects “SerialNumber from Win32_BIOS” of wmi) else if (exists dmi AND exists serial_number of system_information of dmi) then (serial_number of system_information of dmi) else (“N/A”)

Many manufacturers that we’ve seen store their serial number there. This property and many others are available at http://support.bigfix.com/bes/misc/retrievedproperties.html .

Cool, it works for most things…

The link you provided didn’t work… I looked through the database and found.

Ah yeah, sorry about that, the board keeps adding the period to the end of URLs.
