Hi, Guys-

I've got a big one for you (or small... how the heck would I know since I am new to this stuff).

The university that I work for is looking to find an easy way to check the configuration information of its windows hosts. All this information would later be entered into a database for ease of use and so forth.

I was wondering if anyone has written (or knows of) any scripts that would gather some or all of the following information (once run) from a Windows 95, 98, Me, NT or 2000 system (and write it to a file that could be stored or easily read with Notepad or something):

  1. Username of person logged in
  2. Operating System of computer
  3. Version of OS (SR levels)
  4. Architecture of system (intel etc)
  5. Processor type (Pentium etc)
  6. IP address
  7. MAC address
  8. Does it use DHCP or does it have a statically assigned IP?
  9. List of Peripherals (Hard Drives (including size) memory amount, zip drive, etc)
  10. Does it have (and what versions) MS Office, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Outlook, and/or GroupWise installed?
  11. Anything else that might be pertinent to the situation.

Thanks for any help in advance...
