Question : Is there a way to find out what the serial number of a remote HP Proliant server.

I have a few remote HP Proliant servers which I can access via terminal services or pcAnywhere. Is there a way where by I can obtain the serial number on these machines without rebooting them locally and having someone check the outside of them?

If you have the HP management tools installed you can RDP to the mmachine and open up the HP Insight Diagnostics...... this will show the SN of the machine in the top right corner....

(You might have to open the System Management Homepage to get to the Insight Diagnostics.)

Either that or if you have ILO setup, you can ILO tothe box and goto server status page.
