Auditing the amount of RAM

[mac_shinobi]

Was just curious how you would go abouts doing a script that outputs something like so :

 

Total of 4 memory slots

 

Slot 1 - 512 Mb Kingston PC3200 DDR

Slot 2 - Empty

Slot 3 - 512 Mb Kingston PC3200 DDR

Slot 4 - Empty

 

I know you use WMI and the Win32_ComputerSystem class but am not sure how to do it to something similiar above so it tells you how much ram is in each memory slot and what type , make, model of ram etc.

 

Thanks

Me too. Belarc's a great little utility. We run it on all PCs - mainly so we can record what the config is of each PC and what apps are installed. It's handy because it also shows the licence/product keys.

I know about belarc, SIW and everest ( home and ultimate edition ) But was just wondering how to do this in vbscript with regards to the memory.

Microsoft has a tool which can generate WMI queries, perhaps that'll help.

I have OCSNG running on our network and this is one of the things it logs.

i was referring to Belarc software, it is free, but not to use in an educational environmnet...

Whoops - is it?! Never mind.

Scriptomatic (see Bizzel's link) can get the basic info (use the Win32_PhysicalMemory class).

 

Not sure if it will give you manufacturer and speed (I don't collect them; only the number and size)

 

We push this into a SQL database so we can see what's where.

You can also use GPInventory from Microsoft. Yes it's a GUI and you want it scripted, but someone might find it useful GPinventory's range of queries can be extended by adding more WMI classes/queries into xml settings files.

 

Here's my xml file for physical memory:
