determine system manufacturer/model

[AntunB]

is there a way with vbs to determine the system manufacturer and model?

Check out information on Windows Management Instrumentation a.k.a. WMI. You can use a SQL like query to get just about any information you need from things like the BIOS, CMOS, System Board, Operating System, etc. It can be used on Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP machines. For 98 you have to install the package. WMI is built in to XP and 2000.


Hope this helps

Yup, using WMI:

SystemName = "machine-to-check"

set tmpObj = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & SystemName & "\root\cimv2&quot.InstancesOf ("Win32_ComputerSystem&quot
for each tmpItem in tmpObj
MakeModel = trim(tmpItem.Manufacturer) & " " & trim(tmpItem.Model)
next
Set tmpObj = Nothing: Set tmpItem = Nothing

msgbox MakeModel
