![]() ![]() ![]() Interestingly, because Intune will only be able to show the serial number if it is populated in the CSV file (it won’t extract it from the hardware hash), and since providing some of these values with the hardware hash is a bit redundant (the hash by itself would always be enough) or problematic (e.g. So looking at those columns in a table form, these are the valid combinations of fields: Device Serial Number This is what the header looks like:ĭevice Serial Number,Windows Product ID,Hardware Hash,Manufacturer name,Device model If you look at the format of the Partner Center CSV file, that effectively means that some of the fields are optional. ModelName: This is the value specified by the OEM in the SMBIOS firmware of the device for the particular model, e.g.“Microsoft Corporation” or “LENOVO.” (More on that later.) OemManufacturerName: This is the value specified by the OEM in the SMBIOS firmware of the device, e.g.SerialNumber: This is the (supposedly unique) value assigned by the OEM to each device they manufacturer.Because OEMs are starting to put this value on the box itself, as a bar code, this can be useful: scan it from the box without needing to open the box. PKID, a 13-digit number that corresponds to the Windows product key that was inserted into the firmware of the device at manufacturing time (using OAv3). ProductKey: This is the Windows product ID, a.k.a.Partners would only have this value if they get it from the OEM (and booting up the device to get this, then putting the device back in the box is an absolute last resort – not only is it expensive, but it can cause problems for the customer later on). Customers use this value to register existing devices. HardwareHash: The 4K string retrieved from a running Windows 10 OS on the device.SerialNumber + OemManufacturerName + ModelName.HardwareHash + ProductKey + SerialNumber.What I stressed in that blog is that there are multiple ways that devices can be identified: As I discussed in a previous blog, CSP partners (who could be distributors, resellers, or service providers) are able to register devices for Windows Autopilot on behalf of customers using Partner Center, either interactively (upload a CSV file) or via the available APIs.
