Here is simple command line that works on Windows XP/VISTA/Windows 7, if you are in need to get the serial number aka TAG from remote computer on your network.
- Go to START / RUN and type CMD click OK
- now type in this command :
- wmic /user:Administrator /node:Computername bios get serialnumber
- Once you press ENTER, you will be prompted for your Administrator password
- Enter the Administrator’s password, press ENTER and you will receive the serial number aka TAG from the remote computer
UPDATE (2017):
Noted that this does not work very well on current Windows 10 machines. However here is easy replacement to achieve same goal with PowerShell :-):
For Locale computer:
Get-WmiObject win32_bios
For Remote computer:
Get-WmiObject win32_bios -computername PC001
This will provide you with detail information about BIOS on the local/remote machine:
- SMBIOSVersion
- Manufacturer
- Name
- Serial Number
- Version
Have fun !
Hi,
I have ran this command wmic /user:Administrator /node:Computername bios get serialnumber. but only getting serial number through IP only, through hostname this command is not working.
I mean, this command is working through IP only. when I am try with hostname getting error invalid global switch.
Tested in Windows 10 an dindeed it has issue. However you can try to open PowerShell – run as Administrator and here are commands:
For Locale computer: Get-WmiObject win32_bios
For Remote computer: Get-WmiObject win32_bios -computername PC001
Both worked as long as you are running as Admin and have privileges.
Cheers!

You have definitely permission issue, you are not authorized to run the WMI …You have to be Local/domain admin as they have this permission by default. If you are not admin, you will need to request your admin to grant you permissions to run the WMI.
