JSThePatriot Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) When I first visit a new client, I take inventory of their machines, what is on them, stats, and other useful information. Up till now I would either write the information down, or just try to remember it myself. Then I decided why not write a script that would allow me to gather all this useful information, and put it in a format that I can understand and possibly print. I created that program (its even listed in this thread).I then expounded on my ideas, and have created this great Computer Information Library. Feel free to use it as you see fit, but please credit when you use one of my functions.Keywords: CompInfo, CompInfo.au3, Library, Computer, Computers, Info, Information, WMI, Windows Management InstrumentationRequires: AutoIt v3.2 + or AutoIt Beta v3.2.1.2+Software UDFs_ComputerGetStartup_ComputerGetSoftware_ComputerGetUsers_ComputerGetGroups_ComputerGetServices_ComputerGetThreads_ComputerGetProcesses_ComputerGetOSs_ComputerGetShares_ComputerGetEventLogs_ComputerGetBootConfig_ComputerGetExtensions_ComputerGetDesktops_ComputerGetDependentServices_ComputerGetPrintJobs_ComputerGetLoggedOnUsersHardware UDFs_ComputerGetDrives_ComputerGetPrinters_ComputerGetProcessors_ComputerGetBIOS_ComputerGetSoundCards_ComputerGetVideoCards_ComputerGetKeyboard_ComputerGetMouse_ComputerGetSystemProduct_ComputerGetNetworkCards_ComputerGetSystem_ComputerGetMonitors_ComputerGetMotherboard_ComputerGetBattery_ComputerGetMemoryI have finally created an include file with the above listed UDF's. I will be continually adding to this file.Include File:CompInfo.au3 | 1671 Previous Downloads (Total)Example File:CompInfoExamples.au3 | 929 Previous Downloads (Total)I have listed special thanks in the include file. Please note all example code will now start with #include "CompInfo.au3".I am working on adding error checking and standardizing the code. (Note: I haven't spent much time doing this as of late)NerdFencer has created a set of Drive UDF's that were inspired from this code.

Reaper HGN Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I like this idea alot. It seems like you could have quite a few additional components. What about: _ComputerGetGroups _ComputerGetEventLog _ComputerGetMem _ComuterGetCPU Those are just a few that I have seen from others. -Great start though.

The _ComputerGetMem is already done in MemGetStats(). I could however make a wrapper that returned MB's or GB's based on size and what not.Again thanks for the additional ideas. I will add them shortly.Edit: Spelling.JS Edited July 19, 2006 by JSThePatriot AutoIt Links File-String Hash Plugin Updated! 04-02-2008 Plugins have been discontinued. I just found out.

JSThePatriot Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Check first post, but I added _ComputerGetPrinters. Will be working on more additions shortly. I recieved the CPU info for a single processor, in my compInfo.au3 script that I made these UDF's for, but I am going to standardize it and allow for multiple processors. (I have one at home ). I am working to standardize, and add headers to the UDF's for submission to the Standard UDF Library. Thanks for your continued support.

JSThePatriot Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Added _ComputerGetCPUs. I am unable to test _ComputerGetCPUs on a multi processor machine until I am able to get home. If someone can test to be sure that this works on multi processor machine I would be much obliged, I will let you know when I can test it on my home machine (must have virii removed first...roomates). Should _DriveGetInfo be renamed to _ComputerGetDrives? I think that would line up more on the _ComputerGet*Info* standardization that I have been following.

JSThePatriot Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Would anyone be interested in a _ComputerGetMem and/or _ComputerGetProcesses? The reason I ask is they are already returned in a full and complete array by MemGetStats, and ProcessList respectively. Please give me your opinions on it. @Reaper HGN I am unsure how I should go about coding the _ComputerGetEventLog. I dont know where the data is stored. :-/ I have looked on MSDN, and they have C++ examples of how to get the EventLog information, but I am unable to find many more resources on how to obtain that information. I may be looking in the wrong places or searching with the wrong terms. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Reaper HGN Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I took your test code and ran it on a system with 2 HT cpus. I get the image you see below.

I actually have all the changes reflected in the first post, and my only file is a single compInfo.au3 file that I have been using to collect data at work and for realtime testing. compInfo.au3 Please note that I wont be updating this attachment.

Maybe a plugin in the future would be a great addition to be able to do all the tasks at a possible "faster" rate of speed due to the plugin architecture.Thanks for the info.What do you think about the _ComputerGetMem and _ComputerGetProcessesThanks again for everything,JS AutoIt Links File-String Hash Plugin Updated! 04-02-2008 Plugins have been discontinued.
