Getting System Information for Remote Systems

In a previous tip you learned how systeminfo.exe can compose a rich system profile. systeminfo.exe has built-in remoting capabilities, so provided you have the proper permissions, you can also get system information from remote systems.

Here is a simple function:

function Get-SystemInfo

      $header = 'Hostname','OSName','OSVersion','OSManufacturer','OSConfig','Buildtype','RegisteredOwner','RegisteredOrganization','ProductID','InstallDate','StartTime','Manufacturer','Model','Type','Processor','BIOSVersion','WindowsFolder','SystemFolder','StartDevice','Culture','UICulture','TimeZone','PhysicalMemory','AvailablePhysicalMemory','MaxVirtualMemory','AvailableVirtualMemory','UsedVirtualMemory','PagingFile','Domain','LogonServer','Hotfix','NetworkAdapter'
      systeminfo.exe /FO CSV /S $ComputerName |

            ConvertFrom-CSV -Header $header
}
