Checking memory on remote PC

Anonymous

How can I find out how much memory is installed on a remote PC under Windows 7?  I used to be able to do it in Windows XP Pro as follows: Right-click "my compuer" and select "manage." Right-click "computer management" and select "connect to another computer."  Enter the computer name. Now right-click "computer management" again and select "properties."  In a few seconds, you can see the amount of memory, as well as the CPU and other info.  If I try the same in Windows 7, I can't find "properties" when I right-click "computer management."  Thanks.

Maybe check the event logs of the systems involved.

Else, it seems you could adapt the script here to get that detail...

    Perhaps, run msinfo32.exe, then choose View->Remote Computer?

    strong winds here :-)

    if you don't have already, install "Windows Management Framework 3.0" on your Windows 7 Machine

    Then Start "PowerShell ISE", type in what follows and hit return

    $x = read-host -prompt "Please enter the machine name: " 

    $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_ComputerSystem" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername $x

    foreach ($objItem in $colItems){

    $displayGB = [math]::round($objItem.TotalPhysicalMemory/1024/1024/1024, 0)

    write-host "Total Physical Memory: " $displayGB "GB"

    write-host "Model: " $objItem.Model

    }

    $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Processor" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername $x

    foreach ($objItem in $colItems){

    write-host "System Name: " $objItem.SystemName

    }
