Get Lenovo Warranty info automatically

Hey all so I have a sript that pulls a lot of info and throws it in a DB. Till recently I was also able to pull the warranty end date of Lenovo machines.

I used this:

$URL = "https://services.lenovo.com/ibapp/il/WarrantyStatus.jsp?type=$($Win32.Model)&serial=$($BIOS.SerialNumber)"
$WebRequestResult = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URL
$TDTagNames = $WebRequestResult.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("TD")
foreach ($TDTagName in $TDTagNames) {
    if (($TDTagName.innerHTML -match "\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}") -and ($TDTagName.width -eq 120)) {
        $Warranty = $TDTagName.innerHTML
        break
    }
}

It looks like now that URL does not work anymore for some reason. So my question is does anyone know of an automated way to get this info? Is it possible to take a web page and insert info in a text box, submit that, and filter the return info for the date? I've been trying this on this webpage with no luck: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup

Thanks for any help!! From what I've seen the method I was using was a standard way of doing it but it looks like Lenovo is not supporting it anymore. Thanks!

I think I'm on to something but would love some help

$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie.navigate("http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup")
$ie.visible = $true
while($ie.busy) {sleep 1}

$doc = $ie.document
$doc.getElementById("serialCode").value="MJCTV84"
$doc.getElementById("warrantySubmit").click

Ask in Lenovo forum for the location of the web service for the warrantees.  You should be able to get all warrantees in XML for a registered customer.

Use: New-WebServiceProxy to extract the information.

here is how to do it with the web query:

Just supply model and serialnumber

$URL = "https://services.lenovo.com/ibapp/il/WarrantyStatus.jsp?type=$($Model)&serial=$($SerialNumber)"

You could do something with Invoke-WebRequest 

a quick example this would get the info from the vendore you populate the form and you post it back you should get the answer in the $resp so just have to filter it down.

$test = Invoke-WebRequest -uri http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup
$form = $test.Forms[4].fields
$Form.fields["serialCode"]="yourserialcode"
$resp = Invoke-WebRequest -uri ("http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup" + $form.Action) -Method POST -Body $form.Fields

PS: JRV am prety sure you can fix my code to make it a lot sexier :)

You can also see the last comment on that page: http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2015/03/21/get-lenovo-warranty-information-with-powershell/ by Casey Robertson that they are getting the same error. The site seems to not have worked starting this month.
July 23rd, 2015 2:32pm

Lenovo has changed the site too block automation.  They don't want it.  They have added the batch query.  Just upload a spreadsheet occasionally and get all warranty info in one batch.

Your purchasing department needs to add an admins email to the warranty notification alerts.

Hey Frederick thanks for the answer. Is there anyway to clean it up to just say the expiration date?

Okay it's so close thanks for all the help so far everyone!

$test = Invoke-WebRequest -uri http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup -SessionVariable ln
$form = $test.forms[4]
$form.Fields["serialCode"]="MJCTV84"
$answer = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ("http://support.lenovo.com" + $form.Action) -WebSession $ln -Method $form.Method -Body $form.Fields
$answer.ParsedHtml.getElementById("warranty_result_div").outerText

This displays this 

Start Date: 
2010-03-18 
End Date: 
2013-03-27 
Warranty Type: 
36Y 
Status: 
Expired 
Serial Number: 
MJCTV84
How can I just get the 4th line? Thanks for all the help again!!
July 23rd, 2015 3:19pm

This seems like it works fine I doubt the output will ever change so the substring should work. Thanks for all the help!! I'll mark Frederick as the answer and thanks for the help JRV. I know officially Lenovo doesn't support it but while I can I really want to get this info automatically with no human error. Everything else in the DB is automatically pulled in. If anyone has a prettier way of doing it I would love to see. Thanks!!

Here's what I ended up with:

$test = Invoke-WebRequest -uri http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/warrantylookup -SessionVariable ln
    $form = $test.forms[4]
    $form.Fields["serialCode"]="$($serial)"
    $answer = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ("http://support.lenovo.com" + $form.Action) -WebSession $ln -Method $form.Method -Body $form.Fields
    $a = $answer.ParsedHtml.getElementById("warranty_result_div").outerText
    $a.Substring(39,10)

Apparently SaS provides this for both Lenovo and IBM.  IBM has already changed their warranty search and provided a protected service for customer access.  I suspect that Lenovo will not be far behind.

Okay awesome that's good to hear. Well I'll use this as a bandage till that time comes. Thanks for all the help JRV.

You are welcome.  I suggest polling Lenovo to see if they may have already implemented the web service.
