Computer info retrieval

Howdy Everyone!

I have an idea in mind to grab information from a computer about all
the computer specs. Now getting the computer name and OS is done but I
am having challenges getting the Mac address amount of ram hard drive
capacity... and even more complicated things like the Service Tag if
its a Dell. Has anyone done anything similar to this and could shed
some light or know of a good website to look at. Much appreciated.

Did you look at 'systeminfo' command output and 'ipconfig /all' for MAC
address? Also look at 'My.Computer.* classes.
