Getting remote machine information

[it2hill]

Good day all,

I am trying to get some information from remote machines. I have searched and found where I can substitute the host name for the “.” In the below script

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2&quot
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem", , 48)
For Each objItem In colItems
Debug.Print "Manufacturer: " & objItem.Manufacturer
Next

I have tried the hostname and ip with no result. ObjWMIService and colItems are both blank in when I step through in debug. I am able to ping the hostname and ip without any problems.

How can I get the information from a remote machine?

Thanks for you time,

Shane

What OS are the remote machines running? IE, is WMI present and running?

You're logged into the local machine as YourDomain\YourUser. Is YourDomain\YourUser an administrator on the remote machines?

Remove the On Error statement, re-run the script, and note the displayed error.

Jon,

Thanks for the response and your time. The remote machine is identical (OS and IE) as mine. We are on the same domain, but I am not admin on the remote machine. I removed the on error and here is what I have:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: 0x80041003
Code: 80041003
Source: (null)

I was afraid it has to do with security (still not sure what the above error means). I am working in our office and was using a co-workers machine to test as my remote machine. Some of our customers give us admin right and some do not. Sometimes the remote machine is on the same domain, sometimes not.
