I didn't have access to the pc because they were in a meeting. I couldn't contact them because they were in a meeting. We didn't have the pc in our online inventory under service tag because we created the new system before they got their laptop. I knew they were logged on the network so I was able to use: wmic /user:administrator /node:LOCALPCNAME bios get serialnumber Worked like a charm. Asked me to log in with local password and I was able to find out the Serial so I could call for support.
