title: How can I gather system information via scripting?
body: <p>My original question was to quickly and easily gather hardware information from a computer. I was also hoping to do this over a network, rather than sit down at each PC and run a script. Scriptomatic 2.0 was the solution to my problem.</p>
  
  <p>One thing I would like to note about it: <strong>It seems to work well only under Windows XP.</strong> When I ran it on Windows 7, it did not function properly.</p>
  
  <p>During my long night of trying to solve the problem myself, I came across this wonderful tool. It had a ton of sample scripts, all of which applied to my situation.</p>

  <p>This program is free by evaluation. The evaluation will never run out however, as stated by the program. Each time you compile, it takes a second longer. However, if you open a new window the counter resets. This program was extremely helpful for someone like me who knows basic programming, but nothing about VB scripting.</p>
