Get PC Spec via a script

[timbo343]

Hi

 

is there or has someone created a script that will remotely get a pc spec that tells you the processor speed, Ram, and hard drive size.

 

If so please let me know

 

Thanks

OCS Inventory?

i dont particually want to install anything on all machines tho...

Yeah, it would be useful to have something that is installed on server but doesn't need a client install.

to visually see the spec why not use Computer Management in ADUC and manage the pc in question? Then you can see the spec via device manager.

Here you go, found this on robvanderwoude.com (the god of scripts).

 

Run "spec " for a dialog box, or "cscript spec.vbs " for command line output.

spec.vbs

cheers will check it out

is there a way to set to a remote computer giving by inputting an IP Address

[StuartC]

you could use something like

 

sh.run "%comspec% /c nslookup " & ipaddress & " > " & tempfile,0,true

 

to output the ip lookup to a text file and then open the text file to get the hostname. bit complicated though. can't think of an easy way.

where would that sit in the script?

[timbo343]

got it working...

 

Ive put in CHANGEME in the code

 

' Check command line parameters

Select Case WScript.Arguments.Count

Case 0

' Default if none specified is local computer (".")

Set objWMIService = GetObject( "winmgmts://CHANGEME(Computername or IP address)/root/cimv2" )

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( "Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem", , 48 )

For Each objItem in colItems

strComputer = objItem.Name

hehe - worked fine - installed on my domain controller - specified what I wanted (free disk space on all PCs), and let it rip. The scriptomatic tools would be nicer to get more customized results I think, but for a quick inventory this is really nice.
