Thanks for sharing.

I would suggest you check out the the following:

The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit.

I found it will do all things this script will do, and give some other information you might find useful, like can this machine be virtualized!

This is an awesome script, we are going to try at our campus, but we need it to one more thing…

It needs to get the computers serial numbers…where and how would I enter that code in…or if you could email me a version with the code already added…that would be great!

Hmmm…I wonder if this could be sent to a csv file. For example, then you could simply imnport into Excel if you must run it from a server that cannot have MS Office installed.

This script is very useful. However, I am trying to populate which user is on which computer (by looking at the last user to log in).

How can I manipulate the script below to do the network and add it into the excel sheet?:

$data = @()

$NetLogs = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkLoginProfile

foreach ($NetLog in $NetLogs) {
if ($NetLog.LastLogon -match “(\d{14})”) {
$row = “” | Select Name,LogonTime
$row.Name = $NetLog.Name
$row.LogonTime=[datetime]::ParseExact($matches[0], “yyyyMMddHHmmss”, $null)
$data += $row
}
}

$data

This is awesome!! I’m new to scripting and powershell. Is there a way to add the logged on user to the script?

Way to go! Just ran the script on a Win7 SP1 desktop to a WinXP SP3 box and was floored by the process. A little more testing and I’ll try it on my servers.

I’m not sure if you’re still working on this, but I’m unable to run the script against my local PC (Win7 SP1). I’ll have to try it out on an XP machine.

Thanks!

This script is great. Added the code needed to drive the progress bar properly.
