If you check the bios under HW inventory (make sure it is enabled in your
sms_def.mof) you fill find your asset tag from Dell.
If you want both the asset tag and the express service code then you will
need to be running the latest OMCI from dell. Then add a section to your
sms_def.mof file. This will allow sms to communcate through WMI with the
dell. You will be able to get alot more information from the Dell. You will
also be able to change the settings in the BIOS through WMI. But only if
this client is installed.

Here's the base script from the Scripting Guide edited to do the local
machine (represented by the "."), change the . to machine names seperated by
commas "pc1, pc2, pc3" if you want to run it remotely. You can also modify
the script to dump output to a .txt file (which you should do anyway) and
then you could use PSEXEC to run it remotely and copy the files to a network
share. As always test it before you go doing any of the above in a
production environment. I named it BiosVer.VBS and it gives you the PC
serial number and BIOS revision. This may not work the same way on non-Dell
PCs as they may not contain the serial number of the PC in the BIOS.
Keep in mind this may get all wanky formatting wise...

If you're not familiar with running VBScipts I would pass on this but it is
a way to do what you want.

Is it possible to create a collection for service tags?
