MAC Address Lookup
Does anyone know if DELL can provide me the MAC address associated with the service tag for a computer I have lost. I don't want to pay for the computer. If it is on the network somewhere on Fort Stewart, it can be discovered that way.

There is no such service.
They Mac Addresses can be spoofed.
Service tag can be harvested via WMI either locally or remotely.
Open command prompt
Go to Start > Run and type cmd to start your command prompt. Administrative rights are not required to run this command.
Choose either method depending on your circumstances.
Obtain Service Tag locally with command line
In the command prompt type the following and press Enter/Return.
wmic csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber
Obtain Service Tag remotely with command line

WMI makes no distinction between local and remote access. If no computer name is specified, a connection to WMI defaults to the local computer.
If VNC or remote desktop connection to the remote-host is not available, execute the following from the local-host to get the service tag of the remote-host.
wmic /user:administrator /node:remote-host bios get serialnumber
You will be prompted for the password for account administrator.
NOTE :: type the command exactly like it appears above only replacing the remote-host part with the workstations name you're querying. If you want to use a user account other than administrator, replace 'administrator' with the account you wish to use.
