Utility to get serial number from a Dell PC?

Question

Is there a command line utility available that can get the serial number of a dell PC? I've seen the asset tag utility but that relies on the regsitry entry and of course you loose that upon reimaging. Thanx for any information.

The serial number is the System Service Tag number, which can be found on the system invoice, the bottom of notebooks, the side of desktops, and on the first page of the System Setup/BIOS routine, which is not affected by "imaging."

Thanx, but what I asked for was if there was a command line utility available to get the serial number. I would think the asset/serial number is burned in the machine somewhere. This command line utility could then be called by our asset tracking software rather then people walking around recording the numbers.

That particular question has been asked countless times in this forum, and to my knowledge, has never been answered to the satsifaction of anyone inquiring.
