    bryan try the following

    wmic /user:administrator /node:YOURPCNAME bios get serialnumber

    You'll be prompted for your administrator account. If you want to use another account replace administrator with your account name.

    I should have specified which commands are to be customized to fit your environment. My apologies. This should work for you.
