Remotely determine amount of RAM in a system

[dworley]

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise in a Domain environment, and would like to remotely determine the amount of RAM in client workstations. I need to do this unobtrusively (I would like to avoid disrupting the users, but don't need to hide my steps or presence). There are about 100 workstations.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

(this seemed like the best place for the post, but perhaps it should have been somewhere in microsoft/windows. sorry.)

Found it: http://system-admin.livejournal.com/2867.html

Use the command: Get-WmiObject -computerName COMPNAME -class Win32_ComputerSystem

(Replace COMPNAME with the computer you want to check.) It will show you a little more than just the amount of memory installed, but that will be one of the members it returns.

Thanks anyway folks!

Thank you for posting the solution that you found.  I'm also happy to hear that you did get it sorted out.

dworley's command is for Powershell, and to use that from a batch script see below... as before replace COMPNAME with the computer you want to check. Or use a variable.

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%A in ( ' powershell -Command Get-WmiObject -computerName COMPNAME -class Win32_ComputerSystem ^| find "TotalPhysicalMemory" ' ) do echo Computer COMPNAME has %%B bytes RAM
