Finding Computer Component Serials

 Is there a script or a program that can detect the majority or component serial numbers? Rather than opening all the computers and searching for a serial number. Would be nice to have something to run and get the info from. I am mainly looking for Motherboard, GPU, RAM, Hard Drive

Some laptop (DELL, HP, etc.) has their SN/ID flashed onto a special ROM on the motherboard and can be accessed via special software.

RAM has some of their information stored inside the SPD chip on the module. (This can be read by CPU-Z, etc.)

As for motherboard* and GPU, they are marked with their SN at the end of their production, usually with a sticker so there's no way to do that by software.

However, you can read SN of your BIOS chip using this command in command line (cmd) 

wmic bios get serialnumber

*certain server might have ROM chip for ID purpose as well.

I'm not sure if you can get serials. Part numbers for sure. But serieals are indentifiers, and I see probable security issues if some software could read them.
