when I found Python :-) I downloaded from a Ms site many (+- 120)  py
programs for hardware and os stuff and collated them into one script.
Astonishing amount of data in the innards of a computer, do not print
some of these!@#!
I meant to wrap it in a neat menu (any time now), but it is easy to
use as is.
A few of the options :
102 --- -List Terminal Services Terminals-
   103 --- -List Terminal Services Permissions-
   104 --- -List Terminal Services Session Settings-
   105 --- - List Terminal Services Session Directory Settings-
   106 --- - List Terminal Services Network Adapter-
   107 --- -List Terminal Services Environment Settings-
   108 --- -List Terminal Services Logon Settings-
   109 --- -List Terminal Services General Settings-
   110 --- -List Terminal Services Client Settings-
   111 --- -List Terminal Services Terminal Settings-
   112 --- -List Terminal Service Service Properties-
   113 --- -List Info about Binary Files used on Computer-
   114 --- -List Info about CODECS on this computer-
   115 --- -List Installed Software-
   116 --- -List Installed Software Features-

Happy to send to you, will post it somewhere soon.
