Engaged Sweeper III
Good Morning,

we have a mixed environment. Half Windows 7, 8.1, Server 2K8 and 2K12 and the other half Fedora Release 8 ( Werewolf ) and upwards... We try to use Lansweeper as an inventory system, too but for the Fedora systems we donĀ“t get any results regarding to serial numbers. Is there a way to scan / read at least the system- / mainboard serials of the machines and of the monitors connected to the machines? That would safe us an intense amount of time and of running around šŸ™‚

Many Thanks in advance - PICE

-The System Serial can be retrieved logged in as a user with the command:
"lshal | grep smbios.system.serial"

This results in the following answer:
"smbios.system.serial = 'P0FUR2Y677950005651800' (string)"

-The Monitor Serial can be retrieved reading the file:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

-With root permissions which we donĀ“t have you could also use the following command to retrieve the monitor informations:
monitor-edid -v

But as I said before, our user credentials are "normal user" and not root accounts so we would prefer a solution that uses NON-ROOT user rights...
