I am looking for a simple way to embed service tag numbers on machines
to be accessed remotely. We have around 100 Dell machines in various
geographic locations and we would like to be able to view the service
tag number of these machines anytime without human intervention, i.e.
have to call the location and have someone read the tag to me.
What I was wondering is, is there a simple solution for embedding the
service tag number somewhere in the registry and then simple querying
that registry key remotely to via the service tag?
I want a solution that is hard to break, i.e. user cannot accidently
delete the .txt file that contains that information. The registry
seems like the safest place in accordance with our security policy -
admins can access the registry and make changes, users cannot.
Any additional ideas or ideas for the registry idea would be greatly
appreciated.
