I have found a relevancy statment to find the computer name of all windows computers. I have a specific Dell service tag, and need to locate this machine. I would like to find either the IP address or computer name of this one machine.

This is my first real try at BF, any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Hey tlaird,

The first thing you must do is create a property to gather the dell service tag information for you. You can use this relevance to do the job:

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")

Wait some time for the clients to report back, then select the “Computers” tab in the console. Hit ctrl+f to bring up the find prompt, and enter the service tag number that you want. That should do it!

Thank you! That is nothing like what I was attempting. It turns out that the machine I am hunting for does not appear to have the BF client on it.
