Detect PC Type

[bourny]

Is there a way to detect the type or model of p.c the script is running on. I have systems shat run inventories on p.c`s and can do this but do not know how. I am guessing the system has these values but not in the registry ....

I am looking to identify if my script is running on a laptop or a desktop p.c (Might beable to do this with a .vbs I have to detect a battery)

The next thing is to detect if I am on an IBM / Packard Bell / Compaq / HP and even the model number if that is possible.

I know it can be done as the Landesk program can do this but not sure how it achieves it.

This will allow me to take out a lot of user selections and automate it thru script decisions - I have also looked at 3rd party command line utilities or scripts but not found anything...

Any help appreciated

using WMI Information you can pull manufacture and model.

V. Impressed ....

I need to learn about "ObjGet" and what you can extract - Is there a good guide anywhere to where this information is hidden on the OS and how to know what to call to find it ...

Thanks again ..

There are a large number of topics on the forum that talk about WMI scripts. I used the Scriptomatic tool written by SvenP, who translated the one MS put out.

You can find Scriptomatic Here
