Inspired by Reddit user dungeongoon in this Post I decided to modify the work that he did and put a little twist of my own so I can get the output that I thought was necessary for me. For one, I kept on getting errors when I tried using Get-CimInstance since my environment didn’t have WinRM enabled. Thus, I had to continue to use the Get-WMIObject for consistent results.  Second, I wanted to be pass multiple computers in the command line or pass an array of objects so I modified it as such.

Requirements

No Powershell requirements are needed.

Parameters

    -ComputerName

Description: Specify one or multiple computer names to pass through the function.

    -IncudeBatteryExpiration

Description: If specified, it will show if the Battery is still under warranty.  The ID type specified is “1EZ*”

Examples

Example 1: Display the warranty information for the current Lenovo computer

PS C:\> Get-LenovoWarranty


ComputerName  : PC1
Type          : BASE
ID            : 3EZ
StartDate     : 2015-01-08
EndDate       : 2018-02-21
DaysRemaining : 0
Status        : Expired

Example 2: Specify a computer name or multiple computer names separated by a comma.

PS C:\> Get-LenovoWarranty -ComputerName PC1, PC2


ComputerName  : PC1
Type          : BASE
ID            : 3EZ
StartDate     : 2015-01-08
EndDate       : 2018-02-21
DaysRemaining : 0
Status        : Expired

ComputerName  : PC2
Type          : BASE
ID            : 3EZ
StartDate     : 2016-03-25
EndDate       : 2019-05-08
DaysRemaining : 381
Status        : Active

Example 3: Use the -IncudeBatteryExpiration parameter to determine if the battery warranty has expired.

PS C:\> Get-LenovoWarranty -IncudeBatteryExpiration


ComputerName  : PC1
Type          : BASE
ID            : 3EZ
StartDate     : 2015-01-08
EndDate       : 2018-02-21
DaysRemaining : 0
Status        : Expired

ComputerName  : PC1
Type          : BASE
ID            : 1EZBAT
StartDate     : 2015-01-08
EndDate       : 2016-02-21
DaysRemaining : 0
Status        : Expired

The box in red highlights the battery expiration information.

How to run the script

In order to the run the script there are a couple of things you need to do.  First and foremost, set your execution policy to RemoteSigned.  This is a standard with running any powershell script.

Next you need to dot source the script since it is a function.  To dot source the script do the following:

• Copy the script above and save it any location. In this example I’ll save it to my C:\_Scripts folder.
• Within the Powershell Window running as Administrator type: . .\_Scripts\Get-LenovoWarranty.ps1 – Note the two dots before the backslash.

Hopefully this script has enabled you to find the Lenovo warranty information much faster. As always, if you find any bugs within the script don’t hesitate to post it in the comments.
