Systeminfo

This might be old for some but I just today learned of this command.  Co-worker asks me if I know of a way to remotely pull a bios date from a host on the network.  Interesting.. first thought was WMI i.e. Get-WMIObject win32_bios will show you the version, maker and stuff like that but no date.

Perform some Google-Fu and stumbled on this article that talks about the command 'systeminfo'.

I've fallen in love already!  Exactly what we needed, will pull info from remote host and given a nice helping of information without inundating you with a giant wall of text.
