Our lab maps hosts to KVM Ports based on, not hostname, not IP address, but the BIOS Serial Number.
Like the last post, this is probably overkill on (Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $ComputerName Win32_BIOS).SerialNumber, but it's probably useful. Possibly.
function Get-SerialNumber {
param (
[Parameter(
Position = 0,
ValueFromPipeline = $true,
ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true
)][string[]]$ComputerName = @()
);
process {
foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) {
try {
$wmi = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer Win32_BIOS;
}
catch {
}
$SerialNumber = $wmi.SerialNumber;
if (!$SerialNumber) { $SerialNumber = 'ERROR'; }
1 | Select-Object -Property @{
n = 'ComputerName';
e = { $computer; }
}, @{
n = 'SerialNumber';
e = { $SerialNumber; }
}
}
}
}
