RE: Computer serial number wrong in ARD after cloning



I am not sure if this applies to your case, but if you ever have a
system board replaced, it will no longer display a serial number through
System Profiler, or "About this mac."

We use Netrestore to clone our boxes, and it works like a champ.  We
haven't used SuperDuper.

When I run that command I get a list of 3 Serial Numbers; sending the  
command over ARD gets the same results, but ARD System Reports has  
the Serial Number column blank. Also, the Serial Number entry in  
System Profiler (About this Mac) is blank.

How do you interpret the multiple SNs?
