E550 BIOS Asset Tag entry

Good Day,Can someone offer insight on how to populate the BIOS Asset tag got the Lenovo E550? The procedure we used for the E540 doesnt work for the E550.With the 440/540 we were able to use the WINAIAPackage.exe file to edit the Asset tag. This file doesnt run on the E450/550. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried this?
windows -> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75237
DOS -> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013515
I know it doesn't specifically say X1, but I think it should work. I haven't personally tried it on X1.
If it doesn't work, let me know and I will chase this down for you.

Tecra All Models - How to set Asset Tag

Hello,
For the past year we have used a tool to set the asset tag on toshiba notebooks. It runs from an external floppy drive, but the disk is overwritten en we do not have any copies of this tool.
I am pretty sure one of my colleagues downloaded this tool from the toshiba site but we are unable to find it anywhere. Can someone provide a download link or an alternative tool wich is able to set and display a notebook's asset tag.
The commands we used in this tool are
assettag /da
assettag /sa
Hope you can help
Kind Regards,
Sander74
_**UPDATE** The filename of this tool is assettag.exe**_

Thanks for your answers.
We tried to undelete the content of the overwritten floppy but we were not able to restore all data. We did manage to restore some text files, htm file and a diz file. I'll post the content below.
As you can see there a comments that suggest that this is indeed a toshiba tool. Perhaps someone reading this has better searching skills then i do.

SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility Version 1.02.1
Copyright (c) 1999 Toshiba America Information System. All rights reserved.
The SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility displays a variety of useful data fields from the SM BIOS. In addition, is capable of setting or changing the value of the asset tag field of the SM BIOS. Since the asset tag field is in the BIOS, the hard disk may be reformatted and reinstalled without effecting the field's contents.
This program is a command line, non-interactive program, suitable for use in batch files and other automated environments. It is a real mode DOS program, and can not be run in pure 32 bit environments such as Windows NT.
usage: ASSETTAG <switch> [string]
Switch
Usage
/DA
Display asset tag string
/DM
Display system manufacturer string
/DP
Display model string
/DC
Display chassis serial number string
/DS
Display system serial number string
/SA <string>
Write asset tag string
/F <filename>
Write asset tag string based on contents of specified serial number - asset tag mapping file (see format below).
The Asset Tag has a maximum length of 31 bytes.
Examples:
ASSETTAG /SA 12345
ASSETTAG /SA "123 456" (quotes to embed spaces.)
ASSETTAG /F ATLIST.DAT
The /F switch specifies that the asset tag to be written to the BIOS should be obtained from a file, the name of which is given as a parameter following the /F switch. This file contains a list of serial numbers and asset tags in the format:
Serial number white space Asset tag
Each line should contain a system serial number, with no leading white space. Following the serial number, one or more white space characters (space or tab) delimit the serial number from the start of the asset tag. The first following non-white space character is taken to be the start of the asset tag, which will continue until the end of the line. Thus, asset tags may not begin with white space, but can contain almost any character thereafter.
For example:
12345678 FA99485
TE992837 ACCT992
30899283 Loaner Unit
If the lines above were placed in a file and used by the assettag program, then a PC with the serial number of 12345678 would be set with the tag FA99485. A PC with the serial number 30899283 would be set with the asset tag value of Loaner Unit.

Adding Asset Tag information into the Bios from Windows 7

Hi
I am wondering whether there is a utility that will enable me to add Asset tag information into the bios from within windows 7 . We have various models mainly T410 / T420 ' but alos some X201 / X220's
Firstly is there such a utility ?
secondly is there one for all ?
If not is anyone able to suggest how this maybe done . Manual entry at the bios level on thousands of Laptops is just not possible. The end result is for the asset information to be picked up in SCCM and tracked
Thanks

Unable to set asset tag number in bios 1.17 on Thinkpad Yoga S1

Hi I have a bunch of Thinkpad Yoga Machine Type 20CD002UUS and I've been trying to set the asset tag in the bios. According to support I can use this tool: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
It was working great on a bunch of machines and then just stopped. I realized the only difference was the bios version.
On the ones that WORKED the bios is 1.16, the ones that DO NOT WORK are bios 1.17.
Has anyone has this issue? It doesn't say anything about the BIOS version being an issue, but it's realy annoying.
Anyone have any pointers?
Machines are running Windows 8.1 64 bit

Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficulties.
Looking at the v1.17 BIOS readme: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gquj12ww.txt
I see one item that may be related, stressing "may": "(New) Improved the UEFI BIOS security feature."
Wish I could offer more.

Add/update asset tag into T430 bios

We received 5 T430 laptops without the Asset tag added into the BIOS.
Previously (in T410 and T420 we could run a tool to add this information, I searched the website and couldn't found such a tool for the T430.
On this board I found one solution but ether I do something wrong or the solution doesn't work:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Adding-Asset-Tag-information-into-the-Bios-...
And then I am pointing to the solution added by Langeballe:
"Get be bios upgrade package from their website and then run the following to update the asset tag:
(This is for Windows 7 64 Bit)
winflash64.exe -patch -dpc "My Asset Tag"
Reboot and it should be set"
I followed the steps and it does flash the bios, it does reboot but no info is written to ths bios.
Excuse my poor English it is not my native spoken language.
Kind regards,
Henk

Query HP Asset Tags

I know I can add an Asset Tag to the BIOS. I need to query that Asset Tag. I added this to a report query...v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE.SMBIOSAssetTag0
(I think it's the right choice).
select v_R_System.Name0, v_GS_PC_BIOS.Manufacturer0, v_GS_PC_BIOS.SerialNumber0,v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model0,v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE.SMBIOSAssetTag0
FROM v_R_System JOIN v_GS_PC_BIOS on v_R_System.ResourceID = v_GS_PC_BIOS.ResourceID JOIN v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on v_R_System.ResourceID = v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID
But I get a 'not bound' error'. Not sure how to add this to the bottom 'FROM' part?

Hi,
You are missing a Join for the V_gs_System_enclosure, something like this will work.
select
v_R_System.Name0,
v_GS_PC_BIOS.Manufacturer0,
v_GS_PC_BIOS.SerialNumber0,v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model0,v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE.SMBIOSAssetTag0
FROM
v_R_System JOIN v_GS_PC_BIOS
on v_R_System.ResourceID
= v_GS_PC_BIOS.ResourceID
JOIN v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM
on v_R_System.ResourceID
= v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID
jOIN v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE
on v_R_System.ResourceID
= v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE.ResourceID

Change Asset Tag Information

I am trying to find a way to remove/change the asset tag information on a range of Lenovo's.
In my research so far, I have found
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75237
A lot of forums say this works in Windows and in Dos. Does anyone have a how to on using this program? I have tried in both Windows and Dos and neither one can I make it work.
Has anyone used this and know it works for what I want? Or does anyone know of a different way to edit the Asset Tag field in the BIOS?
Thanks,
-Shane

I have seen prompt whether such information is to be updated in doing BIOS updates. Which have been to date via the Windows package. HOWEVER, I would tread VERY cautiously in doing so. Its not for the faint of heart. If a MD is swapped the tech usually applies the serial # too it and not reason to effect any changes since it tied to the warranty.
Have you tried the US support line. If you get through to the American support team you will likely get the info you need. Otherwise try again and again.

Asset tag value input

Is there any way to modify the value of the Asset Tag field for a device? We are running ZAM 7.00.0049 SP1 IR13.

I always assumed this is non-editable because it is the Asset Tag value
read from the PC's BIOS - not the Asset (Tag) number that you might stick
onto the machine case.
These may be the same thing - if you or your hardware supplier poke this
value into the BIOS on all new machines (e.g. if used to automate
workstation naming in the ZDM imaging build process). Many vendors just
use the Serial Number field by default, leaving the Asset Tag field blank
unless you ask them to use it.
Even if you circumvented the ZAM tools and edited this directly in the ZAM
database, I'd expect it to be replaced the next time that machine runs a
scan - with whatever is found in the BIOS
(You'd need to test this to know for sure - personally I wouldn't mess
with it, I'd add a UDF for my company's Asset Tag or get it inserted into
the BIOS field)

Assign the Asset "Tag Number" at PO receipt stage

Our customer has a requirement to enter the Asset Tag Number for an item when the purchase order is receipted (or even at inspection stage for 4-way match PO's). The tag number entered, should then flow through to the FA module.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved with standard functionality, or if it can be done with a customization?
Here is the basic flow steps, the words in brackets () are the change we're looking for.
1. Create PO for item coded to asset clearing account
2. Receipt PO (and assign the Asset Tag Number)
3. Match the PO to the AP invoice.
4. Validate and account the AP invoice and transfer that to GL.
5. Run the Mass Additions Create Process
6. Find the Asset in Mass Additions Create (the Tag Number field should be populated with the value entered in step 2)
7. Post Asset

Hi,
This is unfortunately not possible with standards but you may try using Badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST => PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

Matching Machine Serial Number to a Asset Tag

Is there a way to take the machine Serial Number (From System Profiler possiblely) and match it to a file that has Serial Numbers and Asset Tags from a inventory database?
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
3. Once match is made the Asset Tag is known
3. Make the Asset Tag a environment variable.
G4 1.42 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

You don't define the format of the file that contains asset numbers and serial numbers (and I think the 'tie together' is making it sound harder than it is.
In any case:
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
system_profiler will tell you this. You can ask for the specific hardware information, then parse out the serial number, like:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3}'
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
Without knowing this file format it's impossible to tell how to do this for sure, but if the file was a simple tab-delimited file of asset number<tab>serial number, then:
awk '/<serial_number>/ {print $1}' /path/to/asset_file
You can now string the two together, like:
#! /bin/sh
SERIAL=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3 }'`
echo "Found serial number ${SERIAL}"
ASSETNO=`/usr/bin/awk "/${SERIAL}/ { print \\$1 }" /var/tmp/assets`
echo "Found asset number $ASSETNO"
export ASSETNO
Note the user of double-backslashes in the second awk to overcome shell expansion issues.
