DOWNLOAD: Gather Windows system details with this VBscript

Use the handy VBscript to gather a variety of system information on and Windows machines in your domain. When run, this script gathers a computer machine name, number of processors, total RAM, manufacturer, model, system type and description. The script then writes the information to a CSV file. By importing this CSV file into a database or spreadsheet you can quickly catalog all the systems on your network.

Download and try the script:

I get an error when running the script as explained.
Error says:
Error 429: ActiveX-Komponenten kann kein Objekt erstellen.
Maybe you have an Idea.

Thanks

When running this script I get Error: -2147217406 - using the syntax cscript getsysteminfo.vbs computername. I had admin rights on the box but not sure if there is a network setting that is halting the execution. Any ideas what this error indicates?

There is a free product called Belarc Advisor (for home use only) which gives you all the info in this script and it also gives you info relating to software in the system.

How about adding in the code to add sections for the operating system, other applications and finally a section for windows fixes that are installed.

Hardware info is good and all, but total system info would be better.

I get an error message "no server name was specified" when running the script. Any ideas?

Thanks.

the script requires a valid computer name. Open a command window to the directory that the script is in and type "cscript getsysteminfo.vbs localhost". This will get info about the computer you are currently on. If you replace localhost with a valid IP address or computer name (that is resolveable) then it should work as long as you have permissions on that machine.

When running this script I still receive 2147217406 error. The syntax is
c:\>cscript c:\getsysteminfo.vbs
Is it possible cscript version or security setting?

its working !!!! Great !!!

Can we System Serial No also..


IF its a Desktop then serial no of Both CPU & Monitor.


Thanks so much.

This script could be easily modified to pull from a list of computers and put all the info into a single document.

Hi, all - I wrote the script in question - I know it's simplistic, and was meant to be somewhat that way. I've also heard that some of you have received errors running the script. I've run the script from Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 against servers of the same versions and cannot replicate the problem. Can one of you that is having the problem post some information regarding your configuration so I can look into it?

I have list of computers and want to put output in single file.
Can u give modified script.

I downloaded your script and it was very helpful. I am trying to modifiy it to take a inventory of all the machines on my network. ie Port adress, type of computer, say Dell Optiplex, ip address, default gateway, subnetmask list of software on the machines with their versions etc. I was wondering if you could give some input on that.

Thanks you so much.

Hi Bill,

i am getting an error "no server name was specified".


Thanks

Can't download the script, forwarding to the download page gives you an error?
