I can see how to do the reverse, but is there a way to find a device name based on the Device Reference ID (or #).

I don't think there is a scripting function that will do it. What is the circumstance where you need the capability?
Jon00 has a 'Device List Viewer' that makes it easy to find the device name if you know the Ref ID. Does that do what you want?Mike____________________________________________________________ __________________

Uncle Mike.
This is a tremendous stride forward, from the "geekie" (not a users) perspective of the device list. I have to congratulate the creator of this tool.
However, I am looking for a way in a script, knowing the "Ref ID", find out "Name" that the user has given the device. Users like to work with words, computers with numbers .. Once I have the Name, then it will combined with other device info and then an email sent to a designated address. This must work in an unattended enviromnement.
Again, thanks for this info .. now I need to find a way to expand it so that it can be the solution I am looking for ...
Thanks for your help ...

Mr Happy
If this works then great ... why would anyone hide such tools that help others .. I just do not understand the development/tech staff at HS .. they were very user oriented when I first use HS1 .. but now it is geek city.
One stride forward .. 3 back .. too bad .. these are usual signs of impending demise.
I have been in IT for over 50 years and seen this happen toooooo many times.
Get off the soap box Don .. and Thanks .. .
