title: Retrieving a Manufacture Serial Number
body: <p>So a school who contracts labor from where I work just keeps ordering new computers and we have to maintain a database of serial numbers to asset tags as well as rename the computers to reflect their asset tag. I have the SN's and AT's associated in a CSV file what I would like to do is write a c# application that gets the serial number from the computer its running on then query the server for its name. Does anyone know a way to do this (The stuff I've read hints it will be through system.management but I'm not finding anymore). unfortunately I wont have access to one of the target computers or even one of the same brand until I need it to work. </p>
  
  <p>So is there any discrepancies between brands as to where they put their serial numbers?</p>
