If you’d like to change the way the tool operates, edit the DellWarranty.xml created by the installer and change the following row: -windowstyle hidden -executionpolicy bypass -file "C:\Program Files (x86)\DWCET\Get-DellWarrantyGUI.ps1" -Name "#SUB:Name#" -Method "WMI" The second way the tool can operate is by enumerating the service tag from the computer name, where the first 7 characters are treated as the service tag. And an easy way of doing so is to use the service tag followed by a prefix, e.g. In an enterprise environment, I think it’s a good practice to automate the naming of your Dell systems. The default mode is to query WMI for the service tag. There are two ways that the tool can operate.

Finally, it will copy the Get-DellWarrantyGUI.ps1 and uninst.exe to the DWCET program folder. Copy the DellWarranty.xml file to both of the newly created folders above.Ĥ. %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\ActionsĢ. Running the setup file will do the following: I’ve written this tool in PowerShell and it has been tested on Windows Server 2012 with a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 console installed. The DWCET will extend the capabilities of the ConfigMgr 2012 console allowing you to easily get the warranty status of any system. Instead of browsing to Dell’s support website and entering the service tag, wouldn’t it be cool if you could get that same information just by right-clicking on the system in the ConfigMgr 2012 console? I think so and because of that I created the Dell Warranty Console Extension Tool, also known as DWCET! Overview When dealing with Dell systems in ConfigMgr 2012, you may want an easy way to get the warranty status of a particular system. NOTE! A new version of this tool has been released, check it out
