Run WMIC command across network

command linewmic

Instead of typing this in a command prompt one at a time:

wmic /node:ipaddress /user:administrator /password:mypassword bios get serialnumber

How can I run that against one entire subnet and output to a text document? Since I do this every couple months to verify our inventory of computers, I would assume there would be a much of easier way I could put this in a batch script instead of doing it manually.

You may put a list after node: node:ip1,ip2,ip3, or use a file node:@file - so just put all your ip addresses into a file and then run:

wmic /node:@nodes.txt /user:administrator /password:mypassword /output:out.csv bios get serialnumber /format:csv

That assumes user/password is the same on all machines.

How to get BIOS serialnumber with WMIC command

So how can I get the BIOS Serial with that problem.

You do not. You already provided your own answer, however the hardware you have has no serial number. People either did not set one at manufacture, or they forgot about it.

This is sadly quite common.
