How can I automatically call dell service tags as computer
names?. For eg: after syspreping a machine and imaging it
to another computer, I want the dell service tag to be
automatically inserted to the computer name field

please help

I believe that would entail a manual insertion since the
unique Dell service tag number resides in the BIOS.

Logan,

if we're talking Dell Optiplex's and the poster is a volume client, it's
easier then you think.

Dell's Consumer lines may be impossible to deal with support on, but their
Corporate division is actually quite helpful at times,

just my 2 bytes
