Here's a script that can be run to popup a window where you can enter the computer name to have the monitor serial number and model pulled up. I tried to get it to populate the computer name automaticaly but I couldnt figure it out. It starts with the local pc name in the box... but it works. If anyone can get it to work with the remote computer name than that would be great.

Edit: Monitor serial number scanning is now available in Lansweeper 4.0 download from here

This seems like a really good script, but I don't have access to run scripts over the lan. Is there a way to find the monitor serial number at the pc? The users always have crap strewn about on there desks and monitors, so it's a chore to flip the monitor over to get the serial number.
I know there is a dos command to retrieve the pc name & serial number (wmic csproduct get name & wmic bios get serialnumber). Is there a dos command for monitor serial number? Or something I can type into the "run" selection of the start menu?

Thanks for the help...

Try this utility from nirsoft:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/monitor_info_view.html

/remotefile <Computers List File>
Allows you to connect multiple computers, and view all their monitors information in one window. The computers list file should be a simple Ascii text file with computer names separated by colon, semicolon, space, tab characters or CRLF.
For Example:
MonitorInfoView.exe /remotefile "c:\temp\comp-list.txt"

This is a really nice script .. thanks very much!

My colleague has asked if its possible to find a monitor on the network that has 'gone missing', so I wonder if there is a way to adapt this script to check each workstation & list the information in Excel format or something?

If anyone has any ideas it would be great.

adding the ability to export it to excel would be very nice

This works much better, I like the layout and the fact it will ask you what PC name if you run it solo.

This also works for 2 monitors just fine.

Great job

Hello Abueg,
This script works.
Is there a way you can make the details added in excel.

It will be nice if this gets displayed withing the machine query.

I changed the code a little bit to make the Custom Action output the same as manually running the script. This also shows multiple monitors in 1 dialog box.

Custom action command:
"\\server\folder\monitorinfo.vbs" {computer}


I hope this works for you.
