wmi query to get monitor serial number
The WmiMonitorID WMI class represents the identifying information about a video monitor, such as manufacturer name, year of manufacture, or serial number. The data in this class correspond to data in the Vendor/Product Identification block of Video Input Definition of the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) standard.
The name of manufactural is Acer but the code's output is ACR. Regarding the serial number, which I'm more interested, only a few digits matches. Is there another keywords or line of code that I can use to extract the exact (pretty long) serial number?
Why the complete serial number is not coming through this PS script. for example in Dell TFT it's long serial number approx 18 characters +numbers. But with the script its pick only 10 or 11 characters/numbers.
I wanted to be able to obtain information on a monitor attached to a Windows 10 desktop system, including the manufacturer,model number, serial number, and date of manufacture, from a command-lineinterface (CLI). One way to do that is by using PowerShell, whichMicrosoft provides as part of its Windows operating system. You can opena PowerShell window on a Microsoft Windows 10 system by typing PowerShell in the "Type here to search" field at the bottomof the Windows display. You should see the Windows PowerShell app listed asan option you can click on to open a PowerShell window. If you typegwmi WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi at the prompt and hitenter, you will see information similar to the following output displayed.(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push();PS C:\> gwmi WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi__GENUS : 2__CLASS : WmiMonitorID__SUPERCLASS : MSMonitorClass__DYNASTY : MSMonitorClass__RELPATH : WmiMonitorID.InstanceName="DISPLAY\\HPN360C\\5&2c03a83e&0&UID262_0"__PROPERTY_COUNT : 9__DERIVATION : MSMonitorClass__SERVER : YTTERBIUM__NAMESPACE : root\wmi__PATH : \\YTTERBIUM\root\wmi:WmiMonitorID.InstanceName="DISPLAY\\HPN360C\\5&2c03a83e&0&UID262_0"Active : TrueInstanceName : DISPLAY\HPN360C\5&2c03a83e&0&UID262_0ManufacturerName : 72, 80, 78, 0...ProductCodeID : 51, 54, 48, 67...SerialNumberID : 67, 78, 75, 48...UserFriendlyName : 72, 80, 32, 51...UserFriendlyNameLength : 13WeekOfManufacture : 12YearOfManufacture : 2020PSComputerName : YTTERBIUMPS C:\>In the above output, you can see that the name of the manufacturer,product code id, serial number, etc. are displayed as a sequence of number, i.e., in a format that is not readily human-interpretable. Thefollowing PowerShell script, which is a modified version of one provided by Nicholas Bundy atGet monitor Manufacturer, Model, and serial number, will reformat thatinformation to a format more readily understandable. You can save the codeas a .ps1 script file or you can just copy and paste it into a PowerShellwindow and then hit Enter to see the output.
Please use one the method bellow to retrieve the computer serial number: 1. Using the buid in "wmic" command: "wmic bios get serialnumber" Tip: You can use the command "wmic csproduct get name" to retrieve the local computer model. 2. Using a vbs script: On Error Resume Next Dim strComputerstrComputer = InputBox("Enter the name of the computer:") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "impersonationLevel=impersonate!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colSMBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_SystemEnclosure") For Each objSMBIOS in colSMBIOSMsgBox strComputer & ": " & objSMBIOS.SerialNumberNext
Sometimes I feel the need to do a small inventory.In this case, the need to do that with monitors found itself to the upper corners of my cranium.I wanted to get the manufacturer and model. Remembering that many customers also like a serial number in their CMDBs, I put that in there too ?So while waiting for another customer, I wrote this little thing:

On your computer, launch an administrative command prompt. If you are on a Windows 8 machine, you can easily do this by pressing the Windows Key + X, followed by A. Type wmic bios get serialnumber.
Using the Model name for devices can be useful when we need to download drivers and create WMI query for our Driver Packs in the Task Sequence. Most manufacturers populate the Model field with the relevant model of the device, but in the case of Lenovo they use a different model number system as such Lenovo puts their Model name information in ComputerSystem Product as seen in the screen below:
To create a query in ConfigMgr, open the console and navigate to Monitoring > Queries. Queries allow you to run simple WQL queries again the database. I will illustrate how to make one by creating one that searches for a device serial number. 2ff7e9595c
