I know you can build a script to determine a users operating system, and IE version.
Is it also possible to determine their Processor and RAM?
Thanks! |

| No. You can only read values sent with the request, eg Request.ServerVariables() in ASP |

That's a bummer.
We have a lot of PC's here at work and we need to determine what processor they have in them. Most are workstations so they have no desktop at all, i.e. no "My Computer".
Any thought on how we can determine the RAM and processor, short of opening them, not that I think I could tell one processor from another.

Also, it doesn't have to be done with ASP, if there are php or CF solution I can run those too.

Thanks. |

| I seem to recall an application that roams the network grabbing the hardware info for each attached machine it finds. I'm sure we used something similar when upgrading to Windows2000, so maybe it was something MS wrote. |

we have a help desk software which when installed on the clients machine, we can view the machine specs. it is useful for when we are handling support requests and needing to know this type of information. However, like I said earlier, the software needs to be installed.
we also have used Novell's Zen Works to remote and gather information to a clients pc based on browsing the network and seeing their mac address. and once again, it is software (agent, service or component) that you need to install. none of this has been done using a web app though. |
