Good afternoon, all!
Simple question for the WMI experts: is there any problem using WMI in a
medium-sized environment for doing a computer inventory? Medium-sized
meaning around 2000 computers? Also have a potential 300 computer
environment. I will be using a simple HTA right now but want to get more
into actually creating an application to do this ( that will come later ).
I am asking because some people in the news groups have mentioned that they
like to stay away from WMI because it is "too clunky". Network
connectivity should not really be a problem ( all 10/100 with excellent
switches ). Just going to be doing the 'usual' stuff - mobo, NIC, VGA,
Audio, CPU, HDD, etc. Software is not going to be included - that might
come later, though.
Thank you all!
