Is there any way within SMS to report on the machines that are impacted by this battery recall.

IBM offers a batterycheck.exe program, but I don't see any way to centralize the results.

*warning* work in progress!

Pre-requisite: in sms_def.mof, change FALSE to TRUE for the SMS_Report "Battery", and in the keys below, you only need TRUE for 2 things: for DeviceID (the key field) and Name

Here's what I've got so far as a report. However, there is still some debate going on about whether or not the criteria of Battery Model is really all you need to look for. If a consensus is reached, I'll update this thread.

select distinct SYS.Netbios_Name0, sys.User_Name0 [Last Logged on User], sys.AD_Site_Name0, Batt.Name0 [Battery Model],
case CSYS.Model0
When '23718VU' then 'IBM X40 23718VU'
When '2371K4U' then 'IBM X40 2371K4U'
When '2373k1u' then 'IBM T42P Centrino 2373K1U'
when '2373k9u' then 'IBM T42P #1 2373K9U'
When '23736zu' then 'IBM T42 23736ZU'
When '237375u' then 'IBM T40 237375U'
When '2373w1j' then 'IBM T40 2373W1J'
When '2373pu7' then 'IBM T40 2373PU7'
When '237372u' then 'IBM T40 237372U'
when '23718vu' then 'IBM X40 23718VU'
when '200755u' then 'IBM T60 15" '
when '200768u' then 'IBM T60 14" '
when '170685u' then 'IBM X60 (170685u)'
when '170686u' then 'IBM X60 (170686u)'
else CSYS.Model0 end as 'Model' from v_r_system sys
inner join v_GS_Battery batt on batt.resourceid=sys.resourceid JOIN v_GS_Workstation_Status ws on batt.ResourceID=ws.ResourceID join v_GS_Computer_System CSYS on SYS.ResourceID=CSYS.ResourceID
where (batt.name0 like '%92P1072%' or batt.name0 like '%92P1088%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1142%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1170%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1174%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1073%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1089%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1141%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1169%' or batt.name0 like '%92p1173%' or batt.name0 like '%93p5028%' or batt.name0 like '%93p5030%')
and datediff(day,ws.LastHWScan,getdate()) < "30"
order by sys.ad_site_name0

Update: I haven't heard that any other battery model types are required, and the query above turned into a FAQ, so I think we can consider this procedure & report good to go.

In speaking with Lenovo, it does appear that the Name or FRU number via WMI will tell you if a battery "may" be part of the recall (basically a Sony) but will not clearly identify it as being one that needs to be recalled. There is another 11S bar code that determines that and so far I have been unable to determine that exists anywhere in WMI. Still waiting on a response from them to see if there is another location in WMI to get that info.

Check with your IBM / Lenvo rep, they provided us a tool what we used, then we pushed an advert to all IBM laptops and collected the file for each machine on a server share, from there I then used the DOS find command

File from Lenovo is Battinfo.exe

battinfo --unattended --outputfilename \\servername\IBMBAT\%COMPUTERNAME%.csv

I've been waiting for our Asset Manager to get this from our Lenovo rep--but haven't heard anything. Assuming that the file wasn't accompanied with an agreement telling you not to share it, could you upload it?
