Re: Computer serial number wrong in ARD after cloning

I already noted this:

"You'll get the serial number along with a few others. The one you want is listed on the top."

You can verify this by running it on one system and walking up to the box and checking, or using ard to control the computer and clicking on the apple, about this mac. If system profiler will not display the correct serial number or about this mac displays a blank serial number, then your problem is larger then I suspect and something that can't easily be solved.

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?

If you run the terminal command

system_profiler | grep "Serial Number:"

I'm not sure if ARD's reporting is accurate at this point.
