Hi All,
I'm trying to find an easy way to gather system serial numbers and
model numbers without physically looking at the tag in the front of the
computer. Something similar to "prtconf" in AIX. Does anyone know how
to get this information? I would prefer not to have to install
applications as it is needed on hundreds of systems across a few sites.
Please let me know. Thanks

PCs have no system serial number. On IBMs or Suns there was a serial number
buirned into the cmos. But there is not on PCs. Serial numbers on the case
are just little tags glued onto the case in general.
