Computer Information

Hi everyone

Here is what i need. Every week our sales dep't goes out to meet new
clients. Once they have signed with us, the slaes rep. have to go back to the
client and fill out a form for each workstation/server they have in the place.

This is what they need from the computer :

Computer name, Domain name or Workgroup, local IP Adress, DNS, DHCP, OS and
Service Pack, CPU, memory and hard disk size.

Can all these info can be detected and save to a database with Frontpage ?

Thank everyone

Merry Christmas et happy new year to everyone

There's all kinds of tools around. Belarc [1] and Alloy [2] come to mind to
mention a couple that can at least get you started in the right direction if
not provide you with what you need with perhaps minor compromise. FrontPage
itself provides no features that enable customers to acquire and integrate
data obtained by other software applications.

Microsoft is developing a new shell as a work in progress. Note this
collection of informative resources [3]. The shell code named 'Monad' will
enable all of us to be much more productive with the type of 'inventory'
meta data you must collect.

Regardless, somebody is going to need to write some applications for you to
integrate data into your database and write code for views, reporting and so
on.
Got anybody in mind?

Yes and no.

You could write a WMI script ( VB Script ) which could be written into a html with FrontPage.
Then open the page / run the script on the client machine.

However this will work "client side" only and couldn't be run from a "server" environment.

There is a utility you can run that will return most of what you want, called Belarc Advisor.
It's free for "Personal" use
