Vbscript Get Serial Number Of Monitor
Here is a quick command that you can use to find the Serial Number of your machine. To find the serial number, open command prompt (cmd) and type the following command. C:wmic bios get serialnumber. This will give you your machine’s serial number by pulling the information from BIOS. This is how it will look like.
I am using the vb.net code bellow to try to get the monitor serial number of any computer on the network. The code works well for a local computer but I got 0 as result for remote computers. However, with the same logic of the code, I can get other values on remote computers like the ManufacturerName by instead. I ran a WMI Code Creator and I also got 0 as result for a remote computer. Using a vbscript I could get the right serial number, so I know the result from the vb code is wrong. I would appreciate any help.

Well, at the end I could not find a way to use the WMIMonitorId class to get the serial number of a remote computer from a .NET App. However, I needed that value. So, I got a very good vbs script from https://www.itsupportguides.com/vbs-scripts/vbs-script-get-monitor-serial-number-remotely/. I have to say that the author did a very good job. So, I am calling that script from my visuaL basic app, sending as argument the computer name and then wait for the vbscript to finish. I also changed the sript to allow it to update my access database. In that way, everytime a new computer is entered to the data base from my App, I could also get its monitor information.
