Identifying Processor Type




Determines the processor architecture (such as x86 or ia64) for a specified computer.
========================


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objProcessor = objWMIService.Get("win32_Processor='CPU0'")

If objProcessor.Architecture = 0 Then
    Wscript.Echo "This is an x86 computer."
ElseIf objProcessor.Architecture = 1 Then
    Wscript.Echo "This is a MIPS computer."
ElseIf objProcessor.Architecture = 2 Then
    Wscript.Echo "This is an Alpha computer."
ElseIf objProcessor.Architecture = 3 Then
    Wscript.Echo "This is a PowerPC computer."
ElseIf objProcessor.Architecture = 6 Then
    Wscript.Echo "This is an ia64 computer."
Else
    Wscript.Echo "The computer type could not be determined."
End If

Inventorying Computer Hardware


Inventorying Computer Hardware



Returns information about the pointing devices installed on a computer. Used as an example of how to retrieve hardware information using WMI.
=========================


strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMice = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_PointingDevice")
For Each objMouse in colMice
    Wscript.Echo "Hardware Type: " & objMouse.HardwareType
    Wscript.Echo "Number of Buttons: " & objMouse.NumberOfButtons    
    Wscript.Echo "Status: " & objMouse.Status
    Wscript.Echo "PNP Device ID: " & objMouse.PNPDeviceID
Next
