View Dell Service Tags

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.
