Setting the PUIT System Information

Overview

The PUIT System Information script is integrated into the deployment process for all new and reimaged Windows and Apple laptops and desktops. The data collected aligns IT hardware assets with users and associated requests and incidents submitted to the service desk. This data collection enables a comprehensive view of asset information within university leadership service dashboards.
