Ya gotta define what 6 means before it can be enumerated or calculated.

The first 5 are all doable with WMI query.  If you haven't done much of that 
dig in. Very useful and not too difficult to figure out.

Heck, a google search 'WMI query for ******" gets you there 9 times out of 10. 
Not giving you a hard time about googling just pointing it out. For example 
number 5:

For Flash and browser you will need to hit \root\cimv2\application and test for 
each possibility. Similar to this:

6 will be a bit more difficult. You are going to need to script a ping and 
record it. For bandwidth I would think you would need to script a download from 
a remote site. I really got nothing on that one.

Subject: Looking to grab this info at login

I've been requested to get this info at each machine's login. This would be for 
hundreds of networks, none under my control, but would be helpful for the setup 
of a product we sell. Client systems are MacOS, WinXP/Vista/Win7:

  1.  Workstation name (and any other identifying information)
  2.  Operating System
  3.  Default browser and version
  4.  Version of Adobe Flash
  5.  Screen Resolution setting
  6.  Bandwidth or response time
Most of this looks straightforward, but 5 and 6 I am not sure how to handle in 
a scripted manner. Ideally we (NWEA) has a .ZIP file our clients could unpack 
and deploy via GPO/login script. I've been talked to come up with a script 
template and documentation our customers could use. Also ideally the output 
would be into a single .CSV so our customer's AD guys would look at a page and 
quickly find suboptimal systems.

Even if could only be Windows machines that would be helpful. Anyone?
