How to get serial numbers of Hard Drive through SCCM

Hi Guys ,

I am back with another exciting piece of information . I had a requirement recently where we wanted to get the serial numbers of hard drives . Now there is not much information available online for this requirement, so i did some research and finally found a way.

Now by default SCCM does not collect the serial numbers of the hard drives installed in Laptops or desktops.

We need to modify the Hardware inventory to accomplish the task. Please follow along for detailed information on how to get the job done 🙂

Steps:

• Login to the CAS server or your Primary site as these changes can only be done from CAS . If you are using a test environment then you have to login at the Top of the hierarchy class. Also keep in mind the changes can only be done to the default client settings .
• Create a SMS_DEF.MOF file and copy the contents given below:

[ SMS_Report (TRUE),
  SMS_Group_Name ("Physical Disk"),
  SMS_Class_ID ("MICROSOFT|PHYSICALDISK|1.0"),
  Namespace ("\\\\\\\\.\\\\root\\\\microsoft\\\\windows\\\\storage") ]
class PhysicalDisk : SMS_Class_Template
{
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt64     AllocatedSize;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt16     BusType;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt16     CannotPoolReason[];
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    Boolean     CanPool;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     Description;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     DeviceId;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt16     EnclosureNumber;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     FirmwareVersion;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     FriendlyName;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt16     HealthStatus;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    Boolean     IsIndicationEnabled;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    Boolean     IsPartial;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt64     LogicalSectorSize;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     Manufacturer;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt16     MediaType;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     Model;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     ObjectId;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt16     OperationalStatus[];
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     OtherCannotPoolReasonDescription;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     PartNumber;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     PhysicalLocation;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt64     PhysicalSectorSize;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     SerialNumber;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt64     Size;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt16     SlotNumber;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    String     SoftwareVersion;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt32     SpindleSpeed;
    [ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
    UInt16     SupportedUsages[];
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    String     UniqueId;
    [ SMS_Report (TRUE) ]
    UInt16     Usage;
};

• Once the contents are copied please save the file on the SCCM server as we will be using the file shortly.
• Now proceed to the client settings under administrator node and open Hardware inventory settings and click on Set classes as given below.

• Then click on the import button as given in the screenshot:

• Now you to select the file we saved on the SCCM server:

• After you import the file you will get the following summary :

• Once the file is imported successfully you can then get the reports as desired and you can customize the amount of information you need by selecting the check boxes.

I hope this helps you in getting the desired information .If you have any doubts please feel to contact me .
