In order to activate the cellular capabilities with a carrier, the following two details are required...
But these are kind of a hassle to get to. And to work with...
- The IMEI number (device ID)
- The SIM card number
I found it MUCH easier to get to this info from my own computer, than from the tablet, as follows:
~ Note - About the Test-WSMan, PsExec, and the winrm config...
~ These just make sure WinRM is enabled.
~ 'Invoke-Command' requires WinRM
#########################################
$Target = "HOSTNAME"#########################################
$TestCommand = $null
$TestCommand = Test-WSMan -ComputerName $Target
If (!($TestCommand)){C:\SysInternals\PsExec.exe -s -nobanner \\$Target /accepteula cmd /c "c:\windows\system32\winrm.cmd quickconfig -quiet"}
$Network_IMEI = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Target -ScriptBlock { netsh mbn show interfaces }
$Network_SIM = Invoke-Command -ComputerName $Target -ScriptBlock { netsh mbn show read interface=* }
$IMEI = ((($Network_IMEI | select-string "device id").ToString()).Trim()).replace(' ','')
$SIM = ((($Network_SIM | select-string "SIM ICC Id").ToString()).Trim()).replace(' ','')
Write-Host "Cellular device info:" -ForegroundColor Cyan -BackgroundColor DarkGreen
$IMEI
$SIM
There's plenty of extra lines in there, to make it look pretty, but you should get the point, pretty easily.
The two pieces (from what I could see), are in different parts of the mnb. So... Two commands.
It took me a while to figure this all out... To get BOTH the IMEI number, and the SIM card number.
Hope it helps someone else!
