This is a pretty cool one liner that is of tremendous help. You can get the serial number of most PCs via PowerShell remotely. This includes Dell service tags.

Command:

Get-WMIObject -Class "Win32_BIOS" -Computer computername | select SerialNumber

Example:

Get-WMIObject –Class “Win32_BIOS” –Computer MJDEV01 | Select SerialNumber

SerialNumber
------------

8888888

This works on both Dell and HP/Compaq PCs. I haven’t tested this on other vendors PCs.
