Custom Sensor Dell Service Tag

Votes:

Hi Guys I'm testing this great software. I need some help with custom sensors. I've created a custom sensor EXE/Script. And pointed it at the batch file i've made to get dell service tag. This works well but it shows me the service tag of the local probe machine. I'm interested in my remote servers with no probe installed. Is this possible? Thanks

Hi,
we are not doing this internally but you may want to have a look at this article where a script is introduced which does exactly what you want. It might be necessary to adjust some output of the script but basically it should work. Best regards

Hi again,
another solution could be using the WMI Tester and build your own WMI query within a WMI Custom Sensor. I just played around a bit and the following query should at least give you the right direction:

Select SerialNumber from Win32_BIOS WHERE Manufacturer = "Dell Inc."

Best regards
