Command to get Hard disk & processor spec remotely

cmd, windows, wmic

Solution

If you can rely on running on Windows Vista or later, then you can use WMIC. For details on WMIC, check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394531(v=vs.85).aspx.

To get CPU information try `wmic cpu`

To get hard disk information try either `wmic diskdrive` or `wmic logicaldisk` depending on whether you want information of the disk devices or logical drives.

Since the lines will often wrap, making it difficult to read in a console window, try this variant to redirect the output to text files:

wmic cpu > cpu.txt
wmic diskdrive > diskdrive.txt
wmic logicaldisk > logicaldisk.txt

You can then examine the files `cpu.txt`, `diskdrive.txt` and `logicaldisk.txt` at your convenience.
