Serial number for Gigabyte motherboards

for Gigabyte motherboards, glpi-inventory does not get the <MSN> serial number. Is it possible to fix this somehow?

Re: Serial number for Gigabyte motherboards

All computers with Gigabyte J3455N-D3H motherboards received the same Unique Number (UUID) 03000200-0400-0500-0006-000700080009. How to fix it?

Re: Serial number for Gigabyte motherboards

Hi @khvalera

(Google Translate...)

I share with you an exchange with the members of the DEV GLPI team in this thread:

https://forum.glpi-project.org/viewtopic.php?id=283803

I ran into the same issue, and the "quickest" and "cleanest" workaround is to use " additional-content " on the local agent.

I think it doesn't work in the case of a "remote inventory"

The " additional-content " option can be used with the latest version 1.4 of the GLPI-Agent

Step 1 :

Create a *.json file "whatever_you_want.json" in the /etc (\etc) directory of the local GLPI-Agent tree, with this type of content:

{
   "content": {
      "bios": {
         "ssn": "MY_Serial_Number"
      },
      "hardware": {
         "uuid": "my_UPPERCASE_well_formated_UUID"
      }
   }
}

2nd step :

In the GLPI-Agent configuration (under MS-Windows, it is in the Registry Base...), specify the use of the "additional-content" file by indicating the absolute path of this one:

C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\etc\hatever_you_want.json

Step 3:

Stop and restart the GLPI-Agent service and run an inventory again.

Normally, the substitution values defined in the file passed as a parameter of "additional-content" will be uploaded in the GLPI...

Enjoy!

Re: Serial number for Gigabyte motherboards

It turns out that Gigabyte motherboards do not have a serial number

dmidecode -s system-serial-number
To be filled by O.E.M.

Thanks to homebrewtainy for the help, it seems to work!

Re: Serial number for Gigabyte motherboards

UUID 03000200-0400-0500-0006-000700080009 is a dummy number used by various card manufacturers and will have to be generated by uuidgen itself.
