Scan computers on a network to find o/s, memory, etc.

[m4cc45]

Hi,

I know a lot of commercial tools are out there that will scan a network and interegate PC's to find out what size memory, hard-disks, operating system, etc. but these all require a client to be installed.

I wondered if anyone knew of any piece of software where I can connect to a network give it the admin password and let it find out whats out there?

I don't mind if it's freeware or paid for anything that does the job will do!

Cheers...

if your willing to "roll your own" look at VBscript and WMI to interrogate machines in a domain for information such as Processor, Service Pack level etc.

Good place to start would be:

and some good sample code here:

Used a piece of software called Sandra before, but not sure if it does network scans, maybe it does from the command line.
