How to determine office version

[ljg]

I'm looking for a script to run (manually from command prompt) to connect to a remote computer and determine the version of MS Office running on it. Heyscriptingguy has this script:
********************************
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colApps = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Product Where Caption Like '%Microsoft Office%'")
For Each objApp in colApps
Wscript.Echo objApp.Caption, objApp.Version
Next
*********************************
how can I change this so it runs on a DIFFERENT computer?

Thanks!!

I receive the error "(2,1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable: 'GetObject'

What is YOUR actual code ?
Did you type a valid computer name in lieu of the dot ?

Besides checking if you have a valid computer name listed, you need to make sure you have admin rights on the box, it is also possible that WMI is damaged on the remote machine, and if you're trying to query a Win2k3 server Win32_Product is not installed by default.
