I'm writing a new script to do an inventory of every computer in our enterprise. So far, I've got it pulling a decent amount of information from any kind of pc on the domain, and saving it all to a nice .csv file so that we may pull it into a database to manipulate the data later on. One problem I'm having is figuring if a user has a modem installed on their pc, and if so, what kind/driver is it? Does anyone know if their is a good Windows registry key that contains that kind of information? I've looked, but haven't come up with anything "clean". Or is there another way I could go about finding modem information? [Roll Eyes]

Why would I do that? I managed to find it on my own... not very speedy responses on this message board. Kinda disapointing.

Anyway, if anyone else is interested in learning how I found if a user has a modem installed, I simply have kix check the registry for a certain key like:

$modem = ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RAS\Tapi Devices\Unimodem", "Friendly Name")

Then you could use that value in anyway you need. Maybe something like:

If ($modem = "") = 0
{then do something because the user has a modem}
Else
{do something else because no modem was found}
EndIf

That has tested out positive on a diversity of machines. Glad I could help.... myself.

Thanks anyway! [Razz]

Not very speedy responses on this board ? Your joking right ?

If there is another bulletin board where the responses are faster I sure would like to know about it.

Seriously - dont give up on our little board here - I think you will find that the speed of response has alot to do with the nature of the question, so please dont give up on Kixtart.org so easily.

For you, I will not give up on this site [Smile] But no, I was not joking.

I guess I'm used to bulletin boards of a different nature... http://www.vwvortex.com anyone?

Sorry if I have offended anyone out there. Don't want to give myself a bad name here.

hmmm, kind of a cool site. A website for Volkswagen enthusiasts but has forums for entertainment and computers and much more ... very active it would seem.

We have a couple of German members on staff here plus I used to own an old VW Beetle in the early 80's ... loved that car ... so korg has a few things in common with that website [Wink]

Glad your sticking around.

ps. I really did love that car. Even though it wasn't perfect, one couldn't help but love it. Reminds me of a certain scripting language that shall remain nameless, but which I love dearly.
