Hp Printer Serial Number Format
I have put together a robust HP Warrant Lookup PowerShell script. However, I cannot figure out how to get a HP system's product number in an automated process. So..
How can I get HP product number (not the serial number) via PowerShell? Although I would like to do with only built-in out-of-the-box Windows and PowerShell commands, I am open to other ideas. In the end, the ultimate goal is retrieve the product number in the most reliable and least invasive way possible (i.e. installing 3rd software).
Look for the bar code stickers on your printer.The Serial number on a Samsung printer can be used wherever an HP serial number is requested. Samsung printers refer to a 'product number' as a 'model code' designated with 'M/C', and typically start with 'SL-_'. So I have an HP MFP M476 at work that someone reset the NVRAM on and it changed the serial number to all X characters. I need to reset it back to the original serial number so that our contract service provider doesn't drop the printer from the contract. I saw a few different things online using.

Here are some methods that work for various computer models.
Method 1 : Registry
The HP product number is in the registry so can be retrieved in PowerShellHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEHARDWAREDESCRIPTIONSystemBIOSitem SystemSKU.
More information and script can be found in the article :
How to: Find the HP Product Number of all your HP server using powershell.
Method 2 : rootwmi – MS_SystemInformation Download driver hp laserjet 1000 series for windows 7.
Class MS_SystemInformation contains the product number in its member SystemSKU.
(Presumably it gets it from the registry as in the first method.)
For more info see Richard Siddaway's Blog.
Method 3 : Class Win32_BIOS
The following fragment finds the product number for some computer makes. Tested on Dell.
The Microsoft reference information is found in the article Win32_BIOS class.
harrymcharrymcThis is tested on a HP Laptop. I think HP 'Product number' is called SystemSKUNumber in win32_computersystem WMI. Tested on my HP laptop.

If anyone else comes across this question, be advised, the entirety of win32_computersystem doesn't appear to contain the product number for servers, specifically. I was unable to actually find the information via WMI, but it turns out I was actually given the product number AND serial numbers for a number of servers (the spreadsheet was horribly formatted, so the two fields just looked like one big string until my afternoon coffee kicked in).
Works on Windows 7 & Windows 10From another user that posted. @harrymc
or try
$Server can be directly replaced by a ComputerName. example..
Keep in mind if you are on a domain you may need to provide credentials by either using an invoke-command or -credential parameter.
or
if WinRm is not configured on client, you may experience issues.
