Предположим, что на сервере стоит операционная система Windows Server 2008 /R2.
Я покажу как узнать серийный номер сервера, для этого мне понадобится утилита wmic:
Сперва запускаем окно командной строки cmd.exe с правами администратора:
1) Нажмите кнопку Пуск
2) Введите в строке поиска cmd
3) Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши ярлык командной строки и выберите пункт Запуск от имени администратора
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>wmic
wmic:root\cli>csproduct get IdentifyingNumber,Name
IdentifyingNumber Name
CZC7451NCH ProLiant DL380 G5
Достаточно часто администратору необходимо быстро узнать серийный номер или модель сервера (компьютера). Можно, конечно эту информацию получить, заглянув в серверную стойку или просто под стол, но эта процедура явно не доставит вам удовольствия. Я уже писал ранее о том, как можно узнать серийный номер сервера HP, в данной статье приведу более общую инструкцию.
На серверах/компьютерах под управлением ОС Windows информация о серийном номере, производителе и модели может быть получена из командной строки при помощи вызова функций Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
Серийный номер
wmic bios get serialnumber
Производитель
wmic csproduct get vendor
Модель
wmic csproduct get name
В системах семейства Linux, нам поможет утилита dmidecode. Просто наберите указанную команду с привилегиями суперпользователя и вы получите всю информацию о серийном номере и модели сервера:
dmidecode –t system
В системах Linux, основанных на Debian, например, Ubuntu, воспользуйтесь sudo dmidecode –t system
В RPM системах Linux, таких как RedHat или Fedora su dmidecode –t system
Утилита dmidecode по умолчанию доступна в большинстве дистрибутивов Linux, но в случае необходимости ее можно скачать и установить из репозитария.

Server product keys, like most other OS product keys can typically be found on a label affixed to the chassis of the device in question. Occasionally, we may need access to these product keys when physical access to the device is not practical. For example, I recently needed the product key for a server that I was accessing remotely. A quick Google search indicated several methods of obtaining the product key, primarily through a PowerShell command, a PowerShell script, or a command line command. Neither command options worked for me, and I did not really want to jump through hoops enabling PowerShell script execution on the server to run a foreign script of dubious origin. Product keys are often stored in plain text in the registry. A registry search for “productkey” quickly gave me what I was looking for. Open your registry editor (regedit) and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatformOpen the BackupProductKeyDefault key and your product key is there in plain text for you to copy and paste. This appears to work for Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 Professional.
