# Sysinfo

A script to output to output basic system information.

## Usage  

1. Download the `.ps1` file.
2. Run from `CMD` with `C:\Path\to\sysinfo.ps1`

## Features

It currently outputs:

* The Hostname
* The CPU name
* The CPU Architecture
* The OS Version
* The OS Architecture
* The System's Manufacturer
* The System's Model name
* The system's serial number
* The GPU model name
* The amount of system RAM

## Quick Run

### From USB Stick

Download the USB_Run.zip latest release from [Releases](https://efrick.ddns.net/git/efrick/Sysinfo/releases).

Unzip and copy the folder to a USB stick.

Click on the file `quickrun.bat`

This will put the output file into the directory it was run from.

### From Web

Copy and past into `CMD` 

**[Note:]** must be run from an admin prompt.
This command is broken out below.

```powershell
Powershell.exe -command "$current_execution_policy = Get-ExecutionPolicy; Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass CurrentUser; (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://efrick.ddns.net/git/efrick/Sysinfo/raw/branch/master/sysinfo.ps1', 'sysinfo.ps1'); .\sysinfo.ps1 -write_output;rm .\sysinfo.ps1; Set-ExecutionPolicy $current_execution_policy CurrentUser"

```

This copies the bat file to a temporary location and runs it with the command switch to write the results to the desktop.

#### Powershell Breakout
Below is a breakout of the Powershell commands run by the Quickrun above.

```powershell
$current_execution_policy = Get-ExecutionPolicy
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass CurrentUser
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("https://efrick.ddns.net/git/efrick/Sysinfo/raw/branch/master/sysinfo.ps1", "sysinfo.ps1")
.\sysinfo.ps1 -write_output
rm .\sysinfo.ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy $current_execution_policy CurrentUser
```

## Command Switches

The following can be selected at run-time.

* `-write_output`
	- This outputs the system information to a text file. The default location is the users desktop.

* `-file_location`
	- This switch allows the user to set the path of the text file containing the results.

* `-file_path` 
	- This is the path used for the system information text file.

## Dependencies

### .ps1 File

Powershell Version 5.1 or higher.

### .bat File

Uses `echo` and `wmic`.

## `sysinfo.ps1`

This is now the recommended file to use.

It will require the ability to run Powershell Scripts which is restricted by default.

## Dev Notes

Going forward branch master will be write protected. Please do all further work on branches off of master.

I will be starting to work on rewriting the main script in C#. This will afford the following advangages:

* An executable. This will have the advange of not having to mess with the Powershell ExecutionPolicy everytime you want to run the scritp.

* The Autorun in the USB_Run.zip file will actually be able to launch the script.

* With it being writin in C# it should be more extensable and somewhat easier to manintain.
