\n1. Open command prompt
\nGo to Start > Run and type cmd to start your command prompt. Administrative rights are not required to run this command. Choose either method 2 or method 3 depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n2. Obtain Service Tag locally with command line
\nIn the command prompt type the following and press Enter\/Return.<\/p>\n
wmic csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3. Obtain Service Tag remotely with command line
\nIf VNC or remote desktop connection to the remote-host is not available, execute the following from the local-host to get the service tag of the remote-host.<\/p>\n
wmic \/user:administrator \/node:remote-host bios get serialnumber<\/p>\n
You will be prompted for the password for account administrator.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
NOTE :: type the command exactly like it appears above only replacing the remote-host part with the workstations name or IP address you’re querying. If you want to use a user account other than administrator, replace ‘administrator’ with the account you wish to use.<\/p>\n
