Serial number question
Hy there,
i need to take the serian number ower more then 500 desktops and i have this problem:
1. this is a part of script that do that:
Function STR([array]$Chars){
$str=""
foreach($ch in $Chars) {
if(($ch -ne '0') -or ($ch -ne '00')) { $str +=[char]$ch ;write-host "$ch - $([char]$ch)" }
}
return $str
}
$ActiveMonitors = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "ROOT\WMI" -Query "SELECT * FROM WmiMonitorID WHERE Active='True'" # -ComputerName "mc0wp3fc"
str -Chars $ActiveMonitors[0].SerialNumberID
2. for DELL monitors is a missing 5 digits
3. in your example " CN-00FFXD-74261-3AB-1KFS", what "74261" mean, from where is that part of a SN generated?
4. for example in one of my monitors have [02 RK1Y]-74261-[477-4DKU]
RK1Y - monitor model
477 - something about year
74261 - ?????
please advise

This does not make sense = [02 RK1Y]-74261-[477-4DKU]. All Dell serial numbers have 20 digits like this = CN-00FFXD-74261-3AB-1KFS
CN = China
0FFXD = Dell part number
74261 = Factory ID (confidential)
3AB = Date code (October 11, 2013)
1KFS = Manufacturer code (confidential)

I'm working for a firm that have 1000+ employees and i need to take from each of them the Serial Number of the monitors
For example one monitor have this serial: CN-0V6WMN-72872-14L-0RYI with Powershell:
cls
$serial = ""
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "ROOT\WMI" -Query "SELECT * FROM WmiMonitorID WHERE Active='True'" | %{$_.SerialNumberID | %{
if($_ -ne '0') { $serial +=[char]$_} #else{$serial += $_}
}
}
"Serial: "+$serial
PS > Serial: V6WMN14L0RYI
****************************************************************************
the missings are:
CN and 72872 how can i get the full DELL Serial number for one monitor
Please respond ASP

yes the CN exist too but in registry in Windows by default you get only:
[2 RK1Y]--[477-4DKU]
the rest: CN; 0; 74261 is missing from registry from monitor information
i don't need to know the meening of them i need to be like on stiker, becouse the financial girls need them to bi so.
Dell made that serial, Dell supose to know how to get it all.
we have Fujitzu, Eizo, no problem with theres information.
best regards

Dell cannot help you with a powershell script. You need to contact Microsoft for that advanced usage support.

not the powershell is the problem the information about the serial of the device!
all other brands have the serial in the same place.
the dell serial of Dell Monitors isn't complete.

It is complete on the label that shipped from Dell.
