Hi Tracy,
I agree with Dave except I use SIW. Give a vast amount of information
and include a tool to show passwords which has helped me with clients
many a time.
I use WMI for some of my programming needs. And as an example the
following code gives me the processor and all the hard drive
information.
Local objWMIService, objItem, colItems, colProcs
strComputer
strComputer = "."
objWMIService = Getobject("winmgmts:\\" + strComputer +
"\root\cimv2")
colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_LogicalDisk")
lnCount = 0
For Each objItem In colItems
If Alltrim(objItem.Description) = "Local Fixed
Disk" .Or. Alltrim(objItem.Description) = "Network Connection"
lnCount = lnCount + 1
Endif
Next
StrQuery = "Select * From Win32_Processor"
objWMIService = Getobject("winmgmts:\\" + strComputer +
"\root\cimv2")
colProcs = objWMIService.ExecQuery(StrQuery,,48)
For Each objItem In colProcs
If Strtran(objItem.Name,"GHz","") = objItem.Name
GetCPUs
=(Round(objItem.CurrentClockSpeed/1024,1)) + "GHz" + " " + objItem.Name
+ Chr(13) + Chr(10) && VbCrLf
Else
GetCPUs = objItem.Name + Chr(13) +
Chr(10) && VbCrLf
Endif
Next
I also have a form which extracts all sorts of data from SIW into tables
for a company who need to be able to find out for instance what licences
of XP they have on all there machines. I can email it to you if you
like.
Cheers
Peter

Subject: VFP search of hardware
Has anyone done, or can point me to the right API's for gathering
hardware device information. I have a co-worker that is researching if
it is possible for us to detect if a particular device is attached to
the current workstation.
Thanks,
Tracy
