Not sure about a command line tool, but here are some of my favourites -
and you will notice I don't like to spend lots of cash:

Dameware - their NTUtilities application allows you to get all the
required information, plus you can remote admin the systems and browse
any aspect of the system - its hardware, file structure and even look at
the running services and registry keys. The pricing model is good to at
about $289 as a flat fee for one administrator with unlimited clients.
(http://www.dameware.com/)

Friendly Pinger (http://www.kilievich.com/fpinger/) - this software will
(in conjunction with sysinternals free pscmd (I think)) allow you to map
and inventory your network. Actually Friendly Pinger is the 'top model'
that includes all other products (v cheap though at just $68!) and you
can buy the separate functions for example the inventory product -
Friendly Inventory is a standalone product (and its even cheaper! -
$48!!!) http://www.kilievich.com/finventory/preview.htm.
The inventory product has a good feature that when re-run against a
network it will tell you what has changed - which is very useful.

Hi list,

I am currently looking for a tool that will scan a couple of networks
and get the following infos from each machine up: OS, RAM, Hard Disk
capacity and so on. I obviously can run this tool with admin rights. The
best would be a command-line tool that will allow me to include it in a
script.

I do not know if such a tool exist on the net ... Any help would be
appreciated !

Thanks in advance
