PowerShell Version 2.0 and later
If you own a DELL computer, you can take advantage of a web service that takes your computer serial number and returns your entitlements:
$serial = '36GPL41' $service = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri http://143.166.84.118/services/assetservice.asmx?WSDL $guid = [Guid]::NewGuid() $info = $service.GetAssetInformation($guid,'warrantycheck',$serial) $info.Entitlements
The result may look like this:
$info.Entitlements ServiceLevelCode : TS ServiceLevelDescription : P, ProSupport Provider : DELL StartDate : 23.03.2004 00:00:00 EndDate : 23.03.2007 00:00:00 DaysLeft : 0 EntitlementType : Expired ServiceLevelCode : ND ServiceLevelDescription : C, NBD ONSITE Provider : UNY StartDate : 23.03.2005 00:00:00 EndDate : 23.03.2007 00:00:00 DaysLeft : 0 EntitlementType : Expired ServiceLevelCode : ND ServiceLevelDescription : C, NBD ONSITE Provider : UNY StartDate : 23.03.2004 00:00:00 EndDate : 24.03.2005 00:00:00 DaysLeft : 0 EntitlementType : Expired
The information returned by the web service yields other useful information as well, like the type of computer system:
PS> $info.AssetHeaderData ServiceTag : 36GPL41 SystemID : PLX_PNT_CEL_GX270 Buid : 11 Region : Americas SystemType : OptiPlex SystemModel : GX270 SystemShipDate : 23.03.2004 07:00:00
