Since all our platforms are Dell, and the DSIA Agent is installed on all devices, i would love to get more hardware info from the devices. Specifically Dell Docking and their firmware/serial so we can keep track of the type of docking and warrant status on them.
Merging the docking station portion into https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-6175. Please add your comments there if you have details on manufacturers you're interested in. Thank you!
We currently provide information on warranty status and firmware/serial no for Dell Devices. That leaves docking stations and I will merge this idea into the other one requesting that specifically.
This would be very helpful for us during inventory and for standardization.
Has there been any progress made on this in the past 2+ years?
Advanced Insights will soon provide information on Docking Stations from Dell, Lenovo and HP via custom hardware inventory extensions.
Hi There,
Can confirm that docking station reporting (DELL,HP,LENOVO) will be coming to Advanced Insights, firmware/serial reporting specifically for DELL will be limited to models that DSIA officially support. Worth noting that Dell Command Update can also provides us with firmware + serial numbers and may provide data on models that DSIA does not.
Thanks
George
Actually, my problem is the reverse -- I want a task to get rid of all the Dell 'spamware' that automatically gets added to new Dell PCs (their whole suite of dell-manage-my-PC stuff like recover-imaging, scan for dell updates, etc)
Hi Thomas,
Great Idea, we've actually been interested in being able to report on docking stations for a while now. I will add this to our list of ideas and hopefully you will see this release in a future version down the road!
Thanks
George
