It's not always convenient to run to the server room to try to find the Dell Service Tag on your machine, especially if you're tied to your phone on a tech support call. Here is how you can remotely find that tag.
1. C:\>wmic bios get serialnumber
Enter this into the command prompt and it will give you the Service Tag of your Dell System.
2. C:\>wmic /user:[username] /node:[computername] bios get serialnumber
The above command will return the Service tag for a remote computer if you don't have access to a remote desktop connection.
3. For Linux
dmidecode -s system-serial-number
This command will do the same thing if your box is running a Linux distrobution.
