Extracting data without dcom enabled

D

dd

Greetings, we have 42 machines in our office. I've written a vbs
script to extract system information and dump it into a database. Is
there a way in this script I can enable dcom then disable it? Or is
there some other way to glean the system information without having
dcom enabled? It seems as if belarc and gfi use WMI but they don't
have to have dcom enabled to run or somehow "behind the scenes" it's
enabled then disabled again. Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

You'll need RPC to be available to use WMI over a network. Maybe the
Belarc and GFI products install an "Agent" on the machines that they're
collecting information from.
