Title: Collect all network PCs Serial Numbers inside text file by using batch?
Post by: Abo-Zead on December 29, 2020, 06:34:32 PM

Hi all,

I want to get all PCs "serial numbers" over the network by using batch as I know this command "wmic /node:%hostname% bios get serialnumber /value"  works properly separately but I want to but this command to work under for loop and for loop takes the hostnames from external text file then export the result to another text file arranged as follows " Hostname: Serial number"
Can anyone help, please?

Your request is like this thread : Reading text file line by line and do some operations - Windows Batch File (https://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,161111.0.html)
You just need to add some tweaks when you call the Sub :Action

Get-Serial-Numbers-Hosts.bat

Code: [Select]

@echo off
Title Collect all network PCs Serial Numbers inside text file by using batch
set "InputFile=%~dp0Hosts.txt"
set "OutPutFile=%~dp0serial_numbers.txt"
If Exist "%OutPutFile%" Del "%OutPutFile%"

If Not Exist "%InputFile%" (
color 0C & echo "%InputFile%" does not exist. Please check it first !
Timeout /T 8 /NoBreak>nul & Exit
)

set /a count=0
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('Type "%InputFile%"') do (
Set /a count+=1
Set "Host[!count!]=%%~a"
)

For /L %%i in (1,1,%Count%) Do (
Call :Action !Host[%%i]!
Call :Action !Host[%%i]!>>"%OutPutFile%"
)
If Exist "%OutPutFile%" Start "" "%OutPutFile%" & Exit
::--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:Action
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%a in ('wmic /node:"%1" bios get serialnumber /value') do (
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%b in ("%%a") do (
echo %1 : %%b
)
)
exit /b
