I am trying to find out if there's a way I can automatically pull details from Dells website after passing it a service tag.

I've created an asset database which contains all the service tags for the PCs in our company. What I would like to be able to do is use any given service tag to automatically log things like the PC model number.

Does anyone know if this is even possible ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

What, something like this, only have it walk the AD tree?

Set cs = GetObject("winmgmts:Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each i In cs.Instances_
  WScript.Echo "Computer = " & i.Name
  WScript.Echo "Manufacturer = " & i.Manufacturer
  WScript.Echo "Model = " & i.Model
Next 'i

Thanks Razor, I don't know why I didn't think of just querying the PCs directly.

I'm gonna claim temporary insanity and quickly move on !!

Many thanks for the pointer.
