Let me try to clarify...

I've already looked at the great links that you have suggested, and I'm already using WMI/ADSI queries to poll machines for inventory data.

My issue may be an 'Intel-off-topic' item?
I would like to be able to massage my collected CPU data (e.g. [Confused] Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 10) to output 'more meaningful' information (e.g. [Smile] Pentium III).

Cheers...
