Anyone know of an Analyses that will return information on the serial number for a monitor , printer or docking station ?

Would be so helpful!

Thanks.

I don’t know of one off-hand, but the first step is to identify where that information is stored on the endpoint.

If you have that info, I’m sure there would be a way to.

In my experience, I could only get partial serial numbers from Dell Monitors. You can find it in WMI.

I’m less certain about docking stations and printers.

Figure out how to find the info using any mechanism regardless of bigfix, try to figure out where it might be stored, and go from there.

Take a known serial number for something connected to the device and search the registry and file system for that info. SMBIOS and WMI are also common places for that.

It isn’t ideal, but if you can run something on the command line to get the info, that is a good place to start as well and could help figure out how to get that info with relevance, or if not possible with relevance directly, then through running a command and storing the info in a file, then read that with relevance.

JG, thanks. I’ll query the registry and start there.
