If you're using HP/Compaq servers the free Insight Managment utility gives you a lot of the information on the boxes and disks you're lookig for. It also has the capability to run scripts which could bring you back the other information you'd like. You'd be suprised how much information something like Insight Manager can feed back to you.

The more servers we get, the more I need a way to quickly tell how much disk, how much RAM, what patch levels, what apps are running, IIS or not, what services running under what credentials, blah blah blah Is others have said, there are many ways to get at the information, but it would be nice to kick off a script and have it return what I want whenever. Management seems to think having a binder with server documentation in it as each new box gets built is sufficient. I contend it changes too often and would like something more dynamic. Maybe a scheduled polling event that writes to a database would be best. I've already started, thanks to Robbie's cookbook and Matthew Lavy's WMI Scripting, and would be happy to participate in a more global project... <mc> List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
