Here is an updated version of the My Computer Info script.

KiXhelp home page

Download MyComputerInfo Script 4

Script last updated 5:51 PM 10/4/2005
Note that this version may have an error in the array code that needs to be corrected.

This is a complete re-write of the code, smaller, faster, and corrects or adds information from comments in the thread on
the last version.

  • Now includes requests such as:
  • Model
  • Mapped Printer info
  • Mapped Drive info
  • Home folder
  • Password age info
  • Single write to file for improved speed at end of log
  • Checks for WMI and quits if error detected

+1

Only thing I changed was I added a variable to turn on and off the display at the end and a variable for .htm file location so I can run it through login and have it place the file onto the server and not alert the user. Really great script, thanks.

Oh yeah one more. Is there any possibility to add the output to a SQL or access database. This is truly an awesome script which can be improved to help administrators.

Alright amigo. I can assist with how to send emial via lotus notes but I don't know how to add this to the code...

Call SendNotesMail( "this is a test subject" , "C:\Temp\NotesSendMail.vbs" , "Mr.Estradac","my message" , True)
Sub SendNotesMail(Subject , Attachment , Recipient , BodyText , SaveIt )
'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes
Dim Maildb 'The mail database
Dim UserName 'The current users notes name
Dim MailDbName 'THe current users notes mail database name
Dim MailDoc 'The mail document itself
Dim AttachME 'The attachment richtextfile object
Dim Session 'The notes session
Dim EmbedObj 'The embedded object (Attachment)
'Start a session to notes
Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
'Get the sessions username and then calculate the mail file name
'You may or may not need this as for MailDBname with some systems you
'can pass an empty string
UserName = Session.UserName
MailDbName = Left(UserName, 1) & Right(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
'Open the mail database in notes
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
'Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", "mail.box")
If Maildb.ISOPEN = True Then
'Already open for mail
Else
Maildb.OPENMAIL
End If
'Set up the new mail document
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.Subject = Subject
MailDoc.Body = BodyText
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
'MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
End If
'Send the document
MailDoc.SEND 0, Recipient
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub

A bit too busy to update the code right now, but will try to add one of the IP UDFs to give the other NIC values which was recently requested.

As for the multiple requests I get to put this into SQL or MySQL - sorry but I don't have time to really setup a full fledged script and documentation on how to write all of this to a database. Search the board as there are UDFs and others have done similar, but will require some reading and experimenting to complete it.

If there are requests for other data to be added to the script please let me know and I'll try to add it as time allows.

NOTICE: This script is no longer set to just show on the user's desk. The script has been modified to ONLY e-mail the file back to an Administrator via BLAT SMTP e-mailer.

There were too many e-mails to me asking for such that I've switched the script over to e-mail only. However you can easily remark out the send and have it launch locally as before if wanted.

The script now includes a MessageBox to let the user know the script is being e-mailed to Support. That to can be disabled if wanted.


; *********************************************
; ******** REVISION HISTORY ******************
; 2.01 *** 10/4/2005 6:02PM - By NTDOC
; ******** Modified to send to Admins as requested via e-mail using BLAT
; ******** DOWNLOAD BLAT: http://www.blat.net
; ******** Removed trailing decimal numbers from FREE SPACE.
; ******** Switched out GetIEVersion with GetIEVersion2 (previous udf was broken)
; ******** Added the $SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On') option to the script
; ******** Renamed the script to: COMPINFO3.KIX

Please let me kow if anything got broken in this update or not. It appears to work well so far in my testing.

The zip file also includes a script to add a shortcut to the users Start Menu for requesting help.

Well it now sends via BLAT e-mail by default, but you could add an Outlook mailer instead if you want, it just won't be silent and the client must have Outlook installed and a profile setup already.
 

Code:
Function SendOutlookMail($To, $Subject, optional $Body, optional $Attachment)
Dim $objOutlook, $Msg, $Recip, $Attach, $Deliver
$objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$Msg = $objOutlook.CreateItem(0)
$Msg.Subject = ($Subject)
$Msg.Body = ($Body + @CRLF)
$Recip = $Msg.Recipients.Add($To)
If Not $Recip.Resolve
$Msg.Display
EndIf
$Attach = $Msg.attachments.add($Attachment)
$Msg.Display
; $Deliver = $Msg.Send
$objOutlook = ""
EndFunction


 
As for the print, well there are methods to accomplish that as well if needed, just reply back.

I'm working on a KF client tool something like this



It runs in the tray and it can't be closed (except by ending task)

It will run the inventory automatically about 30 minutes after start, or manually upon clicking the refresh button

The Help button will open a subform with contact info for helpdesk.

etc... Still under development

I'm also thinking of adding a messaging component to it to retrieve possible messages from a a file on a share... something like a messagebox that pops up but requires 2 action to close the window and will log the OKs to a central file.

Something like a message that says "Mail server will be down at 3:00 today". saved as a file, then at some incremental time (10-15 minutes or so) it will read the file, display to the user in a KF textbox, and require a chekbox and a click to OK it, then log to an ini or something the time and username.

More reliable than a net send
more 'in your face' than an email

Suggestions??

Sounds and looks like a good idea. I'd go ahead and start a new post with this though and some code if you're ready to beta test it.

High end would be to store it back to SQL, but might be overkill for most shops.

Maybe SQL is overkill but storing the information in a database is really a good idea. You could use this information for an audit on the CMDB
