How to make 'Windows OS - Servers' Pattern return Bios Serial number instead of Baseboard Serial number Issue  Symptoms By default, OOB 'Windows OS - Servers' Pattern return Baseboard Serial number, but in some case, customer might wanted to use the Bios Serial number for the CI instead.

Cause From the 'Windows OS -Server' pattern, step '5. Insert serial number to cmdb_ci_win_server':

Value=$cmdb_serial_number[1].serial_number [we will get the 1st row (baseboard) in the cmdb_serial_number table]

Resolution There are 2 options:

1) Changed the order/swap these 2 steps (3.10 and 3.12) in the pattern

2) Edit the 'OSs - Pre Sensor' Pattern Pre/Post Script index:

FROM: for(var serialIndex = 0; serialIndex TO: for(var serialIndex = 1; serialIndex < serialList.length; serialIndex++){
