Get Memory Info Of Remote PC

[NiVZ]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the best way to get the total amount of physical memory from a remote machine?

I need to get the memory details for 5000+ machines in our Active Directory and want to do it by querying the remote PC.

I know I can use "memgetstats" to get the memory details, but I need to execute this on the remote machine, or would it be easier to use WMI?

Thanks,

NiVZ

Here you can find a great UDF from JSThePatriot to take inventory from local and/or remote machines.

Thanks,

I actually got something working using WMI but I was using:

SELECT * from WIN32_LogicalMemoryConfiguration

and then getting the "TotalPhysicalmemory" value which wasn't very accurate, eg 2GB reported as 2014mb and 1GB reported as 992mb, etc

Now, having looked at that UDF I'm using:

SELECT * from Win32_PhysicalMemory

and then looping through each chip getting the "Capacity" value which works out correctly each time, eg 2GB reported as 2048 and 1GB reported as 1024, etc

Thanks again,
