Has anyone used vbscript to output graphics card data (e.g., card type and memory) to an ASCII file?

I would like to integrate that code into my current script that gives me the PC name, MAC address, etc.

TIA,
GGleason
 
Have a look at the Win32_DisplayControllerConfiguration WMI class.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PH, that pointed me in the right direction.

The answer to my question is "yes".

I am indebted to the following web site for help:


For anyone who is interested in the vbscript to report the graphics card information:
[tt][blue]
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_VideoController",,48)
Wscript.Echo "Items collected: " & colItems
Wscript.Echo upper(colItems)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "AdapterRAM: " & FormatNumber(objItem.AdapterRAM /1024\1024, 0) & " MB"
Wscript.Echo "Caption: " & objItem.Caption
Next
[/blue][/tt]
 
GGleason, you should download a copy of scriptomatic from microsoft.com/scripting. It will show you all of the different classes that WMI supports and write scripts for you.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
