  What should ConfigMgr do here? What do you expect from it?

  My supervisor suggested that maybe we can have barcodes or QR codes on PCs so that when a technician scans a barcode with a mobile device it would provide hardware inventory information and something like what user is assigned to a specific PC, on the go. I thought that maybe since SCCM already has that inventory data if there was some way or software or a plugin that would enable a technician to view hardware inventory by scanning a code.

  You will have to develop an interface to send the barcode/QR back to SCCM. (Or a report prompting the Barcode value)

  Once SCCM has this information, it will be able to send back this information using SQL.

  The barcode/QR will need to be placed somewhere (AD Attribute, Registry...) and collected by SCCM to fulfill your need.

  This is as much as we can help with the amount of information you're giving us.

  There's no "out-of-box" solution in SCCM that can give you an inventory based on a simple bar code scan.

  Hi,

  You could use Barcode and Label Printer to print barcodes or QR codes.

  And how would you establish the connection between ConfigMgr and the barcode then?

  According to customer's requirement, we suggest to create a CMDB.

  Accquire related statistics from SCCM and import them to the created CMDB.
  When a customer scans the barcodes or QR codes using a scanner or mobile phone, CMDB will be used to provide the information.

  For example:
  Put related information to an Excel file, the records can be displayed when filtered with SN.
  You can also use some advanced langues to develop better UI interface for this function.

  So what you are saying is that there is no 3rd party or MS solution and that op will need to create the solution themselves.
