cool, but do you need anything installed on the client first like the SCCM Remote Tools

[wmmayms]

The only things ou need to get this to work is to distrubute the SCCM agent and enable hardware inventory in your site hierarchy (else this script will still work, but the result will be empty).

Great little batch file. I've updated it for 64-bit OS's and modified it slightly and reposted it here --> http://blog.danovich...ource-explorer/

Full credit for the original batch file to yourself wmmayms.
