Need to remove Device Name field

$

Since our computers' device name fields are not dependably accurate (they are filled in by humans afterall), we need to display the system tag that is reported by the BIOS instead of the OS. But, not only can we not remove the Device Name column, we can't even move it to the end position so that we can ignore it more.

 

What can we tweak to get rid of this useless field?

 

Examples why it's useless: when we use an image, often the tags remain the imaged tag number, because the tech forgets to check the old tag and enter that in instead, creating duplicate tags. Also, some techs are putting a "d" at the beginning of the tag and others start at the first number in the tag -- so again, not accurate because it's not consistent.

 

I have also noticed that the BIOS system tag field does not always populate (for about 10 of our 550 machines). Since they are all the same machine type I would expect them to behave the same, but they don't -- any thing I can check to see why?
