Lenovo Think Deploy Blog

This article has been moved to  https://blog.lenovocdrt.com/#/2022/intune_asset_tag For anyone that would like to set an Asset Tag on their ThinkPad once the device is under management with either Intune or MobileIron, this post can provide a way of helping you achieve this. For those that are unaware, there is a Windows Utility to Read and Write Asset ID Information provided by Lenovo, specifically for ThinkPad.  With this utility, you are able to set asset ID data such as an Owner Name, Owner Location, Asset Number and several other pieces of information.  Per the ReadMe, here's a list of what can be set with the tool: -------------------- USERDEVICE          <Field1>  -  These fields are defined by the user.                        :         The maximum number of user fields is five.                     <Fieldn> PRELOADPROFILE          IMAGEDATE                         IMAGE   USERASSETDATA            PURCHASE_DATE                       LAST_INVENTORIED    

This post is particularly interesting because most customers probably don’t notice there are more than one Hotkey Features Integration package that support a multitude of enterprise and consumer line ThinkPad’s across different OS’s.     What can make this a bit challenging come deployment time, is if you have a variety of ThinkPad’s that don’t support the same Hotkey package.   Say you support ThinkPad T460p’s, P51’s   and X1 Yoga 1 st Gen’s.   If you follow our recipe cards for these models, the link to the Hotkeys will direct you to the appropriate package to download.   You’ll also notice in the list of supported systems that both models are not present.    Downloading each package, you’ll see two, almost identical package ID’s, except the last letter is a W and an E .   This is what distinguishes the package compatibility between the supported systems.     In this guide, we will leverage the Application Model based installation along with Global Conditions.   Th
