I was wondering though, as I need to check all of my companies PC's around europe to see which are or are not ok to use Windows 7 all i need is the first bit of information listed under hardware plateform. Is there any way to get this to only return that information and none of the rest? Thanks in advance. Excellent tool.

I’m able to run the “SYDI” script using the following syntax “cscript.exe sydi-server.vbs -tLANOPPS -uxxxx –pxxxxxxx” and retrieve all the data. My question is how to run the script to automatically dump the information as a (.doc or .xls) can you please provide me with the proper syntax I’ve tried using the help but I’m not quite understanding all the switches. By the way Great script. Thanks, Good morning,

I had finally decided to the bite bullet and tackle the task of documenting the network. I found this tool and your site doing a web search. The initial results and flexibility of this tool are going to make a tedious (but necessary) task tolerable. Patrick,
