Retrieving type and serial number from Lenovo machines through WMI
If you need to the type and serial number of a Lenovo ThinkPad or ThinkCentre, use these two quick WMI commands:
C:\Windows\system32>wmic /node:"HOST" bios get serialnumber
SerialNumber
L3BXXXXX
C:\Windows\system32>wmic /node:"HOST" baseboard get product
Product
646065G
Replace HOST with the hostname of the machine you want to check on. The ” ” are important, so don’t leave them out.
Some other machines may use:
C:\Windows\system32>wmic /node:"HOST" computersystem get model
Product
646065G

Thanks, it works fine. But how to detect if HMC card is present on the current system?

Great! Been looking for this for a while. get product doesn’t really give me meaningful output for a Lenovo desktop but the get serialnumber does. Thanks very much!
