I didn't get a chance to run through the WMIC examples. The Advanced VBScript book covers this topic in a little more detail. I also have a short PDF intro on WMIC you can download at http:\/\/www.jdhitsolutions.com\/tutorials.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Before you run any examples, you need to \"install\" WMIC. This basically means at a command prompt type WMIC. If you've never run it before you'll get a message saying it is getting installed and then you'll get a WMIC prompt. Type EXIT to return to a command prompt. Then you can run these examples:<\/p>\n

wmic os get caption,csdversion<\/p>\n

servers.txt contains a list of computer names
wmic \/node:@servers.txt os get caption,csdversion<\/p>\n

wmic process get name,workingsetsize<\/p>\n

return information about the spooler process
wmic process where (name=\"spoolsv.exe\") list brief<\/p>\n

wmic process where \"workingsetsize>10000000\" list brief<\/p>\n

wmic cpu list brief<\/p>\n

wmic cpu list brief \/format:textvaluelist<\/p>\n

wmic \/output:osinfo.html os list full \/format:hform<\/p>\n

Then open osinfo.html in your web browser<\/p>\n

WMIC \/? will give you help information. <\/a><\/p>\n
