RE: Hardware/Software Inventory

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, this question concerns a post made a while ago: #347786...its just occurred to me that people might not find my reply to it today, so ive created a new q instead.

I was wondering how you can make this audit a machine on a network. I have tried changing the '.' in line 9 to the computer name and IP address of a machine on my network and it doesnt seem to work.
Is this suppose to work for computers on a network or just a local machine? Or is the permissions on the target pc preventing access?
If it is the permissions, is it possible and how could I modify this script to allow for username & password to be entered?

Many thanks, Jace

There is no need for making a new thread to get attention. We have Recently Active Threads and Newest Nodes that takes care of that. I considered this node to be reparented. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply]
