I am pretty new to this list and have gone through the archives
looking to see if there is a way of obtaining serial numbers of
machines via ARD?
This is not directly possible with the current version of ARD.
If you have ssh access to the remote machines, you can use
system_profiler to get that info. e.g, in Terminal type:
ssh email@hidden system_profiler | grep -i serial | head -1
If you don't have ssh access, you'll have to do something more
complicated. You would have write a script that does the above
command and mails the output to you. Then you'd have to make a
package with PackageMaker, that basically just runs that script. Off
the top of my head, the script would be:
#!/bin/bash
hostname=`hostname`
serial=`system_profiler | grep -i serial | head -1`
echo $hostname $serial | mail email@hidden
PackageMaker is installed with the Developer Tools. The help file is
actually pretty good, but you can get more info here:
