Lenovo computers and serial numbers in reports

To sum up the serial number reporting I have been working on at a customer. This post covers how to update the builtin report "Hardware 01A – Summary of computers in a specific collection", to display the serial number from the value inventoried from the BIOS instead of the value inventoried using System Enclosure. The reason for this change is that the Lenovo comptures as well as other vendors display a blank in value for the serial number in the report. Changing it to use the value already inventoried using the Win32_BIOS WMI provider displays the correct value.

The changes made to the report are highlighted in red, so you can modify the report instead of copying the whole report.
