Get Computer Information Via Command Line - WMICI spent some time in compuer maintenance. This is thousands of computers across multiple locations on the globe. If I have to physically visit a computer, I've lost. The goal is to be able to provide network administration to all computers without ever having to physically visit on-site.
Because of this goal, gathering information is important.
WMIC is one tool for this. Here are some nice cheatsheet items:
Get the video card information/display-adapter information:wmic path win32_VideoController get name
Get the video card driver:wmic path win32_VideoController get driverVersion
Get the motherboard information:wmic baseboard get product
Get the onboard devices:wmic onboarddevice get description
Get the serial number in the bios:wmic bios get serialnumber
Get the bios version:wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion
Love it!
