What's my Dell Service Tag

Recently come across this command which allow me to get the service tag for my Dell machine without crawling under my desk.

The command is

wmic bios get serialnumber

I have tried it on other brands too.  As it seems, it works for Acer machines too.

SMB3

I have issues to browse Windows Shares on my network ever since Windows retired SMB1.  Today I came across this post and its solution fixes my problem.

To make Windows shares browsable again, I added this line to /etc/samba/smb.conf

client max protocol = SMB3

This line should be put right after the line

workgroup = WORKGROUP

 Now I can browse and open share folders on my Windows machines in the network as it used to be.
